Congratulations Tim a very worthy winner. I’ve never ever entered any of my builds and probably have little chance as there are no clubs even close to me…what did you get in the vendor area…….

I like being moral builder 😁…….John I’d mess that tricolour scheme up in a second…..or quicker….

Rob, that is one speedy build…….I’m glad I am not the only one who thinks the Look IP’s appear “toyish” ……if fact IMHO my verdict is having lunch on all the new printed IP’s…….looking forward to the camo scheme…….

Thanks Kai, it’s been long tome since I used Xtracolor. I put a decal down albeit a Cartograf one and I looks as if it’s been sprayed on. Xtracolors faded olive drab is brilliant…….

Thanks Rob. The Academy is not as much as a nightmare as you read everywhere. Be careful though on the u/c bays and get them in the right boom. If the Academy was the only one on the block I’d be happy. I also have the Tamiya one and I am going to use the decals from the Academy. I also kept some of the Brassin for the Tamiya build such as wheels and other bits. If you want I’ll give you a list…

Thanks Peter, I think I’ve cracked this one now, did some tidying up and ready for decals

So after doing a bit of armour, thought I’d get back to the 38. Used Xtracolor enamels in faded olive drab. Must admit they do leave a nice finish to decal on to. I also have the Tamiya boxing, so in reviewing the Tamiya decals and the Cartograf decals in the Eduard boxing, I was shocked how thick the Tamiya ones are. So, I’ll be using the Cartograf for both. Luckily the Eduard boxing included 5 schemes in F,G & H models. So having sprayed, just touching up my mistakes and ready for decals…..

Looking forward to this John, never seen one built up……

Looking very good Harv, if Martin does that again we will go and let his tyres down…………

Gaz, man that sucks…….hate it when whatever you do or try doesn’t fix it, quite the opposite…….time to do something else for awhile………..

Nice haul Peter, looking forward to the Whirlwind….

Thanks Rob…..hmmm you’ve made me think now, parts of the engine bay though are missing in this boxing. I did see Miniart do tank mechanics……….hmmmmm …..the engine I agree should be open not sure about the hull part though….definitely give RFM a go……

Thanks Peter, unfortunately very little of it will be seen……..it’s fun though…

Thanks Gaz, much appreciated, part of of the breech mechanism and the engine will be seen. The engine was AK extreme metal and then a black wash over the top………

Appreciated Mark, would recommend RFM…

I love my pair of these, I don’t cut large sprue gates though……I use a bigger set and go in with there beauties after…

Holy smoke Sherlock………a JohnB Corsair being partly and quietly placed on the “later” shelf……..I demand an immediate investigation………..hey John why not………

Thanks Rodolfo, much appreciated…..how is the KT going?

Thanks Martin, I am really impressed with RFM. The cupola is around 30 odd parts to complete…….hope they do carry on and do heavy haulers like the Famo…….

Thanks Carl, the engine was fun, you could go to town on it but within this boxing not all of parts are available. The fans, for instance are missing. I’ll pose the engine hatches open so you will get a glimpse……

Found a couple of hours today also general update……..I doubt if I’ll ever do a full interior, just cannot see any of it when buttoned up……it’s fun having a small delve into it though……

Stunning build, thanks for sharing…..

Peter, envy your painting skills they are sublime……..yet again I have hashed up the finishing on the P38….…….I guess your secret is time and skill, of which both I am lacking…..

Hmmmmmm 4 laps around the park after all of that indulgence…….😁

I hope you shared……….happy birthday 😁
