Ready to spray the camo.

LOL Martin. It just happened that way! 🙄

Most of the hull is done except for the fiddly bits. The turret is next up. 🙂

Thank you Martin. 🙂

Thanks Carl. CA glue! 🙂The left side wasn't a problem but the right side is giving me fits.

Left side track attached.

Some progress.

Some outstanding work Hubert! You have a lot more patience that I have. Very well done so far and I look forward to seeing the finished beauty. 🙂

Finished the road wheels and attached them to the chassis. Now it's on to the rest of the build. 🙂

This one has been in my stash for a good while so now I think it's time to go on and build it. Seems to be a really nice kit which I plan to build OOB. 🙂 I've started on the road wheels to go on and get them done first. Still some touch up to do.

Finished with this one. When I first saw artwork of these a/c in this color scheme with the yellow codes I really wanted to do one and the Tamiya kit is a great basis to start with. All that is needed is to come up with the right codes and figure out the right camo color to use. I finally decided on MM USN Intermediate Blue as it seemed to my eye to very closely match the correct color for the uppers. I used Mr. Hobby 36495 USN Light Gray for the lowers. When I started I didn't expect to find that these 2 paints would be the best match since various RAF colors were suggested. After market items are the Eduard PE belts and Super Scale yellow Luftwaffe numbers. I hope you like it. 🙂

Decaling under way. This is my subject.

Sprayed overall with Alclad Gloss Gray Primer. Painting soon! 🙂

No paint at all yet Kevin. Just shiny plastic.

Progress on my Malta a/c.

Thanks Carl. I thought it would make a neat addition. 🙂

Thanks Kevin! 🙂

It's coming along. I just put the cockpit assembly in and glued the fuselage haves together. Good fit so far.🙂 Which kit are you building?

Next up is a Malta based Mk Vb using the Tamiya 1/48 kit.

Thanks Paul! Very much appreciated. 🙂

Thank you Dennis.🙂

Thanks Martin. Pretty small for sure. I cut some Tamiya masking tape in the shape I wanted. Since the tape is already yellow there was no painting needed. 🙂

Thank you! I'm pleased that you like it. 🙂
