Nice work John😀 I would never even thought of trying something like that!!

Thanks for the review😀 looks like an interesting kit . Nice selection of weapons. And the vehicle looks well detailed. Paul

So sad to hear this Hubert. My thoughts, heart, and prayers are with. You. Wishing you the strength needed to bear through this terrible time. God bless.

Wishing the best possible Christmas and holidays for each and all with abounding merriment and joy. 😀

Nice work on the landing gear Martin😀

Nice work Martin😀

Mr Surfacer in bottles seems to be out of stock lately at many of my usual online suppliers at the moment---not sure why. I see it on Amazon at inflated prices however. I agree with Rob---spraying it thinned from bottles is much better than the cans, but finding the jars lately has been a problem. I find it sprays great through my .3 mm Iwata HP-c+ giving very smooth thin layers. I need a good oxide primer in bottles. I think Tamiya Dull Red might be close in color. Can never find the Tamiya Red Oxide--------Are there restrictions on this stuff? I did find a can of Mr Oxide Red spray , but I haven't tried it yet.

I have been trying to find the Tamiya red oxide primer.......always out of stock or unavailable... What gives? Also Mr Color character flesh......difficult as hell lately ! Glad you found what you needed Martin😀

Yes, I noticed that about the markings.--I've never built one of their aircraft. I may start their EBR 10 this week since the aftermarket I ordered for my Tamiya Sturmtiger won't arrive for awhile. I have a pile of kits waiting for painting that I have to get to....I guess I'll have to wait for a long weekend to get caught up. Or, I might make a trip home to grab that Hobby Boss Vickers Mk II......I have a set of Friuls for the Matilda II that may fit that kit. Looks interesting.

Sounds look a good deal. One thing I like about Hobby Boss is they aren't afraid to offer subjects that are not mainstream. Things like the EBR 10, Schnieder, and the obscure Vickers MK II tank that I have in my stash.

I always liked the look of those things. HB has two versions I believe. Looking forward to seeing more of your build😀

M4 high speed tractor?

Tamiya reboxes of Italeri kits will include the Italeri logo on box cover. The italeri Sturmtiger was released after the Tamiya kit.

Nice one John😀 That Tamiya Corsair must be a great kit. I'd like to build one.....someday !

Yes, it's pretty nice, although a bit basic. I've been looking a at sturmtigers online. Some have muzzle weights some don't. Same with fenders. One restored ST has a simple flame-cut ring for the weight. Some show parts of the fenders missing. I think the subject allows many possibilities. A 1/16 version would be fun.😀 Paul

This came in the mail.. It's a Sturmtiger from Tamiya (35177). Also got a set of zimmerit decals from DEF model. The kit has individual link tracks. I'm going to get started on this right away. The Def Model zimmerit looks promising. Anyway, I hope this is useful for some . However it goes I'll post build pictures.

I have a set for the Tamiya Sturmtiger and I bought a set for Tamiya's Brummbar. I was able to get the Sturmtiger using points on Amazon... Otherwise I would have bought The RFM kit. I'll look at the instructions tomorrow when my Sturmtiger arrives. Apparently, most Sturmtigers had Zimmerit during the war.....not the Museum examples however. I thought it would be worth a try😀 Thanks...

Hey, has anyone used these products ? I saw that the Tamiya sets you have to cut the Zimmerit from the backing while the Def Model product are water-slide decals. I bought the DEF MODEL. Any comments/advice would be helpful. Paul

Saw an "unboxing video" of that kit...looks good and the Hampden is certainly an unusual looking aircraft.

A virtual transcript how clever!!!!!

Nice work. Which F4 kit is that?

Bravo my thoughts exactly. 😀

Well, or buy another kit...start over. I saw the same kit on EBAY for under $30. US. It looks like a nice kit for its age. I considered getting one the other day. After watching the video I mentioned. Then this build appeared. I don't know about British Armor.

A situation so much like the video I watched on You tube about the same kit.....is this a common mistake?😀 Everything sounds so familiar.....

Sorry to hear of the mix-up with front armor. Hope you can fix it. Was surprised to see the external drum fuel tanks---I mean, how Soviet ! BTW.......where did you get those blue clamps ? Paul
