    Your Dingo looks great with this weathering. Cheers Rob

    That looks challenging, I wish you tons of luck. Cheers Rob

    Enough chatting , first parts are glued. The engine is a kit in itself, consisting more than 40 parts. Quality of the kit is very good so far with good fit and some necessary cleanup. Attachment points are not always wisely chosen and some joint points are not fitting sizewise, but that's only minor stuff. On the other hand there are nice solutions used like adhesive foil on the PE-fret, which makes cutting easier and the risk of loosing parts to the carpet monster is reduced. Cheers Rob

    Great choice, to build a ride for your Dingo . I thought about a Jagdpanther myself for that GB, but have only a G2, hardly fitting the timeframe and got skipped among others. I will enjoy your build though. Cheers Rob

    Nice, I had that kit when I was a kid (kind of old kid, of maybe twelve years). Great to see this one participating. Cheers Rob

    Thanks Kev, I often have a soft spot for not too common subjects. Cheers Rob

    Yeehaa, your Dingo will be ready before D-Day memorial. But you're not only fast, your little scout car is looking great. Cheers Rob

    I witnessed on several occasions that Russian functionaries did the same, when a lot of the former mentioned enlightening liquid was consumed. Never had the questionable pleasure to attend such behavior in a helicopter though . Cheers Rob

    Hehe, was on the market to get red Tuna, but there was none, but the Peto is the second best choice and almost available the whole year. While filleting, me and the dog got some slices of crude Peto, the rest will be at the barbacoa (barbecue) tonight. Cheers Rob

    Oops, thanks for this info, I haven't done any research on that one and maybe wouldn't have noticed. Cheers Rob

    Don't be afraid Jeff, it's just the prototype with holes in the wheels . Cheers Rob

    Couldn't resist, I'm so happy and got 5 kilos of freshly caught Peto or White Tuna or Wahoo or whatever it is called in other places on the market today for nearly nada. Cheers Rob

    Your Fokker leaves me speechless, every detail looks just like the real thing, great craftmanship, chapeau. A while ago I saved a link for spoked wheels. Nothing available for a D.VII in 1/32 but who knows… . I don't have any of those yet, but I may try them for my Eindecker. http://www.scalespokes.com/product-category/aircraft/aircraft-wheels/132/7 Cheers Rob

    I agree with Hubert. Blue and white fits the Interieur perfectly. Don't forget to include a smashing panel, as the Russians tend to throw their empty Wodka glasses over the shoulder after a toast. Don't go for fancy glasses with a stem. In Russia Wodka was mostly poured into water glasses in mighty doses (Sto Gramm = 0,1l was a normal dose) I had some encounters with that weird consumption in the eighties Your Interieur is looking so good, that it is a shame to close the fuselage. I might suggest a half open heli if I'm allowed to. Cheers Rob

    In Berlin they formed a mountain out of the rubble after the war. It is by far the highest elevation in the old West Berlin. It now is a recreational area in the middle of a forest, used by Mountainbikers, kite nerds and even paragliders. The elevated position made it the perfect spot for an American monitoring station during the cold war. There is quite some history behind that rubble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teufelsberg Cheers Rob

    Nice work so far Rodolfo, I like your shortcut with the tracks. If you find the PE parts to hard to bend you can anneal them by heating the sheet with a flame. afterwards the material is much softer. You mastered the tracks your own way, but i might suggest another white metal product with very easy assembly. They are made by Easy Metal Links and are constructed without needing pins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLvv8ld_km0 Cheers Rob

    I'm following you with this one John. I have the very same package in my stash and my first choice was the same scheme. But then I decided to build the P-40 as the 'Lulu Belle' with Lulu as a Belle sitting beside the plane like on the box art . https://www.modernarmies-in-miniatures.de/maim-katalog/maim-figuren/massstab-1-32/lulu-belle-1-32_maim-/-front46_maim32019.html Cheers Rob

    Second that

    This will be great, nice choice of subject and with your magic... Cheers Rob

    Nice pics, specially from the prototype version with holes in the wheels . You found my second best choice for a camo with your second pic . I'm not already decided about that 'piece', maybe its time for an LSM poll . With a max speed of 15 km/h you need an extra large one to compensate . Thanks Wumm, but I hope you understand if I will not dig deeper into that nose thing . Cheers Rob

    Nice, I like these 'open topped lots of detail' type of vehicles. It seems like this GB converts most of us to armor for the time being . Cheers Rob

    Somebody said Jagdpanther, that's a possibility too, I have both in my stash for future projects. The Panther G will be in winter camo with IR and the Jagdpanther will be settled somewhere in a swamp. One recommendation, if you want to go with additional metal tracks. If they are still available AK has some pre assembled (see picture) in their program. I have no Idea, if these are basically Friuls or made by another producer, but they look good and no fiddely assemblage needed and they are Heavy Metal . Cheers Rob

    Go for a Panther, Takom, Meng and not to forget the good old Dragon ones. The Panther is my favourite tank of the period and I have several in my stash, but only build one Panther from Dragon with some added detail and Friuls and some American tankers. Because it is a Mig Jiminez copycat, I usually don't show it, but I liked the idea and for my defence I have to say that I would have made it part of a dio, where American tankers are kind of testing the behemoth. It was done years ago and was my first tank kit and I really enjoyed building and even more painting and weathering and learnt a lot of it Cheers Rob

    They were built for the harsh conditions on the eastern front, but performed not to well. The RSO was slow (max. 15 km/h) and was nearly undrivable in icy conditions and had a fuel consumption of 200l / 100km. That combined with a high center of gravity on axles with narrow width were no ingredients for a champion. It seemed, that most RSO's served in the west, where they where equally hindered by poor performance on tarmac, because of the steel wheels. Off road capability in general was not too bad, but the above mentioned obstacles were weighing to much, to be a success. Only 206 seemed to have been built with no existing survivors. Cheers Rob

    I knew it Martin , you're an archive machine. Thanks for the great reference. Cheers Rob
