  1. Just tried this for the first time, my old bottle of brass blacking fluid was expended, well recommend……
  2. Wheel masks……phhhhhhhh after just finishing 36 for the three projects, you get into a rhythm………go old school say I ………..🤪
  3. and yes I have owned a few of these over the years………nothing fancy just a heritage of 67 years 8 months and 30 days and still going strong. Please do not even mention the pretender Defender they have replaced it with………
  4. Mark, stunning. Your soldering is very good, did you use solder paste or reel solder? The solder paste is excellent if you can find it……..
  5. Rob good save, the only clear parts if any I add before spraying is the windshield, looking phenomenal…….
  6. A lot……..Panzer III L , Panzer I A and Flammpanzerwagen……..plus three sets of tools and tracks……..all to be weathered, Panzer I requires another finish over the top of the German Grey……….
  7. Mines been on the SOD as well for too long but I’ve never binned a kit…..
  8. Very very nice Dennis, only ever done the 24th 1A, I was very young. So the question is going to be, in 32nd Kotare, Tamiya or PCM?……
  9. Wyvern & Beaufighter …….wow……Infinity…….hmmmmmmm
  10. I’ll second that……..
  11. Peter, you’ve pulled this one out of the fire, the nose looks great. After the SH debacle, I thought this one was verging down that path, good save. I agree with Rob you have a fair wind……
  12. I used the Xtreme black base perhaps that was the problem or I didn’t let dry. If I remember I left it a day……..
  13. Stunning, does this have to be proofed or such by an authority, here in the UK I believe any repair to a fireman has to have proofing certification.
  14. Chris, absolutely stunning. Weathering a/c scares me, armour no problem…..masterclass in the subtle art…..congrats…
  15. Looking very good Gus. I wasn’t happy with the NFM on my ZM 51 and it’s languishing on the SOD, looking at your Jug, it’s enticed me to revisit it. I also used Xtreme and loved them not sure what happened……..
  16. Really looking forward to the Spit and A20. One 2022 release being placed on the sleigh this year is ICM Beaufort …..
  17. I’m gearing myself up, one more afternoon at the office desk and then………..2.5 weeks of festive cheer and benchtime……..
  18. Rob, just catching up again, this has wetted my appetite to finish my Corsair. Absolutely stunning weathering this is going to be a stunner….
  19. You bet, more the merrier……
  20. Thanks Kev, definitely try Dragon, they are superb. Lousy instructions and often missed parts. Great detail and always a build and a half. The only trouble is they are pricey and that’s why I buy pre owned……..they knock Tamiya out of the park….
  21. Paul, you could modulate the buff colour, darker at the running gear level to very pale on the top surfaces where the sun had bleached the paint work. ……
  22. I think, I know this sounds radical………….do not start ANYTHING else until you have completed all of the outstanding or SOD kits………dare bet you say that to the boys……….….……………….hey what the hell you only live once……
  23. Thanks Rob, no not a lot, saying that I have a cunning plan for the weathering….
  24. Thanks Ron, I reckon one road wheel would bigger the whole tank, just amazes how Dragon mould such very fine detail…..
