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

I am so sorry I missed this post. This is right up my alley and it looks amazing so far. Good work buddy

This has to be the most elegant plane in the world. Waiting for the magic of painting.

Spinners are perfect

Hi Pete, 1/35 won't work I am afraid, too much of a difference for my taste. I talked to Norbert at Reedoak and he has two mechanic figures . I am still trying to locate something since I wanna to have a least 4 figures. A lot of work on that truck. Oliver

Small update. This is gonna be larger than I was planning but I am going with it. It screams for figures but can't find anything in 1/32. I have found folks that design and print but their fees is more that I make in a week at work. Oliver

I ended up ordering the Wrecker truck kit but in the meantime I am checking on scale matching the helo and I believe it works. Heres how It looks, this is going to be a large dio I believe. I have started surgery on the flatbed area. Panzerwomble, I am taking your advice on checking the wheels being even on the ground, thanks for the tip.

oh my god thats what i am looking for but its in 1/35, I am doing 1/32. . Thanks. awesome photos.

How did I miss this? wow thats pretty cool. Great progress

Sadly no photos are loading on my computer.

Thanks fellows. Since the engine is in place for now, i started on the Wrecker US Army truck with the hoist( i wanted to minimize the handling of the engine parts since its so delicate). I have never built a truck before or even painted one.....I have to rework the kit since the one I have is a missile Launcher (see below)and not a tow truck. Will post when I got it figured it out. I did order the jeep and trailer to check the size difference. The jeep is in 1/35 and my truck in 1/35.

Wait a second here Tim, I recall you were doing a Blackhawk....did u finish it? In any case a good start on the Cessna.

wow, i dig the painting job on the exhaust. Nice job

I really like your engine. Good progress.

Engine in place(not glued). I had to insert an aluminum rod in the kit and slide the engine on it(much easier to handle). I prepainted the top grills Orange since I was afraid of over spraying the green inside. MRP paint is a dream to spray. Also painted the blades bracket. Moving on to painting the blades next.The engine angle is correct while in maintenace( research photo )

Thanks Martin
