The cabin and the oil tank are finally off the platform(not glued yet). It's time to install the hydraulics cylinders. Thanks to the potential Writers strike in Hollywood , all shows in Hollywood have come to a stop so plenty of time for modeling...

Never used AK paints before, I got 3 sets so I can mess with it a bit. Will let you guys know how it goes down.

New platform for the crane. I got my paint from AK(sold few photos for one of their upcoming story on scrachbuilding). Now I can finish the crane cabin.

Looking good Tim.

Thanks Pete. I am changing the platform, the cabin is too high and it looks silly. ....Just a minor hick up. Will post soon.

Cant go wrong with the Hellcat. beautiful kit. One to be proud of.... I dig the dogs too. Oliver

This is probably the only German Aircraft i really like. This is truly an amazing model. so well done.

spectacular interior Pete

Working on the crane till I receive the AK paint from Spain so I can finish the cabin interior. The cabin and the hydraulic fluid tank will be attached to the crane frame. I need to build the support rig for the engine so I can work on the right angle of the crane mast.

right next to your Spitfire then.

I had to remake the door since I made a mistake in the way it opens and detailed the inside outside...ooops. Still need to add the glass to the cabin, I need to paint the inside first before I add the wall. I am not crazy about the control sticks so may redo that as well. I also added a sliding window on the door and the back little window(not in the picture).

Well, that's looking just right. Nice

Wow, this is so sharp. As I said before, this should be in a museum. Nice one Pete.

A bit more done.

I remade a cabin because the previous one got warped from the glue drying, I usually add a touch of superglue to help with gluing but I didn't this time...Cutting corners does bite sometime. I still have to create the details inside and the other wall and the door, I will have to paint the inside first before I glue the other wall. Oliver

amazing save.

now thats a museum piece if I see one. Thats so cool looking Pete. I really like it

Well, I did not finish but here's how it looks right now. So many angles in this little cabin, sure calls for measure twice cut once.

Hi Pete, no luck on figures so far but still looking. I just realized looking at the photos that my crane cabine is wrong, it is a touch wider than mine in the photo so debating if I start over. Mmmmm!!! oliver

Another masterpiece in the making. Will follow for sure.

Another stunning model in the making. Nice paint job. I really like MRP as well.

hi Back to work on Friday so pushing to finish the small ....yeah whatever that's called. Small crane cabin????

1/35 or 1/32 ? That is the question.

Spitfire over the Mustang hands down. Copy on Painting

Copy on figures either 3 or 5. Thanks
