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.

Decaled and oversprayed with semi-gloss Alclad. Next I'll tackle some weathering.

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! 🙂

Looks like it was "rode hard and put up wet"! LOL

About ready for decaling.

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!🙂

Thanks Kevin. Much appreciated. 🙂

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.) 🙂

Getting there!!! 🙂

Outstanding work Rod! Very well done.

Time to get back to my P-40K build. I had set it aside to wait for some paint. Now I can get back to it.

Thank you Paul. 3 weeks on this one for some reason didn't feel fast at all. Actually I was glad to have it finished! 🙄

I'm glad you like it K. Thanks! 🙂

Completed. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20636-tamiya-f4u-1d-completed/

Calling this one done.

I've had that bottle of MM acrylic for a couple of years. I was using MM enamel but ran out so I decided to use the acrylic on this build. I found 2 bottles of enamel on ebay the other day and snapped 'em up. Not delivered just yet though. If I can get another bottle of acrylic I'd test it out and if all went well I'd use it at some point since it gives such a nice smooth finish.

It's Model Master acrylic. I agree, it sure gives a nice smooth finish.

I've decided on this one.

All repainted now but I'm not so sure I want to tempt it by masking off those areas. I'll look for a different scheme.
