Thanks, Mike! It feels good to see this one to the finish line. Cheers, Tom

This is the 1/35 Tamiya Char B1. It's a great kit, and the instructions include a detailed history, including the amazing account of "Eure", a Char B1, which destroyed 13 German Panzer III's and IV's at the battle of Stonne. Curiously, the kit doesn't include corresponding markings. I just had to model this tank. Hope you like it! Cheers, Tom

Cees, Jeroen, Thank you both! Cheers, Tom

Here is the Zoukei Mura Horten 229 out of the box, in the markings of KG(J) 6. This kit is an amazing feat of engineering, and I highly recommend it. This was a build that, for most of it, I didn't want to end. How common is that? I only ran into a setback when I applied a thinner-based wash; the plastic that ZM uses is clear to give you an option to see the interior. This resulted in cracking and fissuring through the clearcoat, paint, and plastic. I was 97% finished with the build and put the model aside for over a year. I resuscitated and finished it recently in a quest to complete my started builds! Cheers, Tom
