    Thanks Jeff, today I finalized the frame and added the winch and some minor aggregates. The engine is not glued onto the frame, because I will prime and airbrush these subassemblies separately. In the next steps I will determine if I show the engine by dry fitting the hood and decide, how much love I will pour on the engine. Cheers Rob

    It is a great kit, I have the Universal Carrier in my stash too and I'm looking forward to build this too. Cheers Rob

    Hola Hombres, Today after lots of sun and surfing the last days, it was overcast, so a perfect day for some benchtime. I managed to finish the engine and most parts of the chassis are assembled. The kit is a gem, lots of detail, clever material mix and good fit. Another thing, I really like about the kit is, that you can steer the front wheels to add some 'drama'. Cleanup could be a little bit less for my taste and some of the locator pins don't fit to well, but that's not a biggie. The chassis-frame though is a bit warped, and I didn't check in advance. I bent as much as possible and the rest will be 'adjusted' with the ground of the dio. Last work for today was to drill 160 1mm holes into the steel wheels. Sounds bad, but wasn't, it took only 10 minutes with a micro drill. Cheers Rob

    And another one by Bravo 6, which would fit your M4 perfectly. BTW, welcome to LSM, make yourself comfortable within this place of LS-nuts. Picture for illustrational purpose only. Cheers Rob

    Thanks Jeff, very interesting. I'm always in the hunt for some more 'esoteric' subjects, I browsed the Spanish WWII page and whoops found some great stuff there. This one, a Schneider with the fitting decals and Spanish conversions is already in my stash. picture only for illustration purposes Cheers Rob

    This will be epic, Jeroen. you should include the guy with the beard from Martins pic. Gus found a new weathering technique, it's called Jackrusselling .

    Good old dinosaurs , that beast looks sweet. Cheers Rob

    Wow Phil, some days of absence and I nearly missed your finishing that beauty. I love your way of painting and subtly weathering the Chevy. Everything looks good and 'busy' in other words, just right. Cheers Rob

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