You guys are doing some very nice projects. Every time I come here someone is doing something stupendous. I can only do a burst of like 10 links and then its stretch time. I have added a degree of magnification to my visor...I really need to look in to setting up a more efficient system. This tank is a few running experiments with weathering. -
Great news....

Thank you very much. I used the hairspray technique. I prefer this over other techniques as it adds depth. I very much appreciate your kind offer. I will be happy to pay for any expenses incurred.

The modification of including/creating the canopy deck on this Revell kit, means the crew ladder is not going to be close to a proper fit. Added to the long list of lessons learned...So for now it will be just be a tad short. Luckily, I haven't had that problem too often... The chipping came out ok.

Thanks Gaz. I didn't realize soooo much time had passed. Then again a lot of life took place during this build. As with many past builds they serve as a marker in time. And sometimes, with many memories attached to it that aren't related to the model at all. It is a giant flag in the dirt as far as my will to push beyond the box. Despite the 100,000,000 million things I see wrong with it, I am so very happy with it. Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you. With your capability it would be a great build to see. I too am tempted by most things ZM. I am excited to get a better photographic set up. In some cases the pictures will be around longer than the model. I only have so much space and some of my older kits will have to be retired to storage. This as newer builds mount. I will keep a few key older kits around just as a place marker. Sometimes its nice to see your progress through the years.

I have to say that shading of the green camouflage has been a contentious argument I endured many times in my head. Trying to envision the schemes after all the shading, washing and what not is sometimes hard for me. I am happy I didn't do anything that warranted a redo. Thanks for stopping by.

Well a few tiny things to fix. But for the most part I am calling it. Just a few photo's before I get a decent photographic set up. This build, and future builds, will warrant upgrading my photography game. I have considered putting "remove before flight" flags on the kit but it will have to be shipped a few thousand miles. That is something else all together. I really want to to re-do the left horizontal stabilizer. I have what I need to do it, leaving the current one in place until the new one is complete. arrgggghhh...we will see.

Agreed Gaz. I was thinking maybe additional oil stains or the like. Having said that, its time to get this one through the finish line. I cant tell you how many times I have knocked the pitot tube off trying to get in more detail. Thank you Hubert. A product of many headaches. More chances to get better to come. Your talents, especially on WW1 subjects, are to which I aspire. Thank you very much for your kind words. Its has been very much a model that has really pushed me to get better.

Better late than never...in most cases. Other future participants for the D-Day Diorama. Painted and awaiting a final decision on the overall paint scheme. This will be my first diorama ever. As such, I may build other smaller "proof of concept" builds to ensure the success of this effort. More to come.... -
Fantastic Build!! The photo etched flap work looks very clean.

Its lining up to be a grand build either way. I love the 105. Best of luck on that beast. -
The tow cable, muffler, extra running gear and many other details in this build make it a real eye catcher. Good eye, good job Gaz.

Beautiful build. She is a sleek looking fighter.
