More on my Skoda Turtle.....

Saw this........a Tarhe lifting a CH 47 Chinook........weird!

I recently got the same kit as an unexpected gift.....It looks like a very well-designed kit. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your build and building mine. Watching with interest.

Cooooool!!!!

Nice work! That kit intrests me....I think it's now on my list.

Working on this little Skoda Turtle........Hobby BossBoss 1/35.

They're probably just promoting their licorice.... Well...I don't know. My Dad was a Pathologist....this, to him, would seem a miracle.

Cool model/interesting subject, but way more than I'd care to spend on something that doesn't have a pair of stars on the box....stars in red and blue squares...... But then again.

Nice work! I !ike your added detail.....the brake lines on the axles....very cool!

I have the same 'brushes. Yes, I thought so.

Not sure of those model #s but I think the handles for the Iwata Hi performance models will work. If you have a question contact Coast Airbrush ....they answered questions of mine. https://www.coastairbrush.com/ Or: https://www.iwata-airbrush.com/

I saw Andy's YouTube video on this kit.....it looks impressive, but really it should be at that price!

Glue, lots of it. Well, glue and cement really. I've been looking for a good PVA glue and I heard good things about ZAP Formula 560 so I thought I'd give it a try. I also bought some of the old Plastruct Plastic weld because I mistakenly thought the big Andy's Sherman may have had some ABS parts....I'm sure I'll find a use for it. Most importantly, I purchased seven bottles of Tamiya's Extra thin Quick Setting after noticing that it was back ordered on a few sites. A panic purchase? Well, you might say....perhaps. Hobbylinc had it on sale at $ 3.84 for the quick setting. Have you seen the ridiculous prices for this stuff on Amazon? Jeez!!

I have a couple of the Trumpy Wildcats......love the Wildcat but I was a bit worried about building them. Thanks for pointing out these issues.

Lovely, I mean Jeez, great deal! I got to get one of those terrific Tamiya Spits!

Great looking cockpit Peter!

Coming today..... From Takom, in 1/16 scale, is their Kleiner Panzerbefehlswagen 1 Sd.Kfz.265 3 in 1. An interesting little tank. A radio equipped commander vehicle, it must have been highly vulnerable with just the one machine gun... Offered in three versions in the kit; one having the big external antenna as seen on the box art. I saw archive footage of a bunch of these radio tanks parading around on a field in pre-war Germany the other night....I also saw these in archival footage of the invasion of France. Wnat we need now is a 1/16 Char B1 bis tank.....Man! I'd like to see that! Anyway, looks like a cool kit.

Looks like a cool project....will be watching.

Hey, I just bought one of these myself! Will be watching...and I'm sure I'll hope to profit from your experiences!

And....they rarely do things well. I'm not sure why things are held in customs so long.....didn't have this problem last year.

Cool build! Interesting subject....NICE WORK!

Great to see....always liked the A-6..and was curious about the Trumpeter kit. Nice work and I'll be watching.

I should have checked with you.

Let me know what you find!

The two nearest Ace Hardware stores sell Tamiya kits in their "hobby" section along with Mission Models paint, Tamiya paint( acrylic and lacquer in spray cans) and Revell enamel paint....I'm pretty sure this is the case in most Ace hardware stores.
