That's the set I used. I got some replacement numbers for the 400 from my decal stash. I have no idea why they are backward on the decal sheet.

I've had this Academy kit for quite a while and now it's time to go on and build it since it's one of my favorite armor subjects. Western Desert scheme, Sidi Rezeg battles.

Thanks! They are great kits and a joy to build. 🙂 -
I'm glad you like it Scott, thanks. That circular antenna was a radio direction finder and was "trained" around by the pilot. It didn't spin. 🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing your "K" when it's done! 🙂

I decided this one had gathered enough dust, etc and was in need of some attention. I've decided to re-do it from a RNZAF a/c to a Royal Navy a/c in the Pacific Fleet in overall GSB. I've already adjusted the wingtips and done a little prepainting but figured I better post some pictures before work proceeds any further. I have some EagleCal decals I'll use to do #135. Stay tuned......

Thanks Rod. I'm pleased with the way it turned out too. Thanks again!🙂

Done and RFI

This is my second "K" conversion using Tim Bigger's resin tail to convert a "E" to a "K". Fits real well and is nicely detailed. Recommended! Painted with Testor's enamel Olive Green for the base camo color. I did some fading and weathering using some Testor's OG that I "adjusted" for fading, etc. Decals are SuperScale. The only after market item(s) are the resin Eduard wheels and the FineMolds belts. I'm pleased with the way it turned out and I hope you guys are too. 🙂

Thank you Carl. It's coming along well (fingers crossed!) and I figure I'll have it finished in a couple more days (it sat there 3/4's done for several weeks so it's time to finish it up.) 🙂
