    Yea, I’m still coughing and hacking up stuff that drains from my head into my lungs at night when I sleep.  
    The first 90 min of my day is nothing more than lung clearing time.  
    I can’t seem to break the sinus issues, although they are a constant problem for me even before Covid. 

    Your model looks great.  I hope you are feeling better.

    That's the case here too, but the main problem seems to be the distribution chain for spare parts. The big players are only allowed to use their designated suppliers and if these don't have the parts needed, it's waiting time.
    My friend has a small workshop and I hope, he can solve the problems with the united force of mechanics on our island, with the large company failing, I completely lost my confidence in them.

    Cheers Rob

    I'm still living on ,my Toyota service contract with capped pricing.  I hear that when that is over, the rate will quadruple.

    I do, but heavy hearted, my Jeep is in a workshop since FOUR month. There is a problem with the automatic gear. Nothing serious it seems, but the mechanics can't get the missing parts. Next week a friend who is a mechanic will 'rescue' the Jeep from this terrible workshop (the biggest on the islands) and try to fix it.
    The dog is well though, but misses the more spacious Jeep as well.

    Cheers Rob

    That's horrible!  I've heard that today's young adults don't want to work on cars...   so in many countries there is a shortage of mechanics.

    I'm always in search of good pilot figures.  Here is a nice pair from AC Model in 1/32,

    The figures seem nicely detailed and without air bubbles or other flaws other than a bit of flash.

    They'll look great next to a 109.

    I also got some panzer figures...   much cheaper ones....

    This Italeri kit is a mix of old molds and New parts.  The hull is 1974 molds with new road wheels and link and length tracks.  The turret is much newer.  I have enough Pz IV kits around so I can afford to use some for parts if the old Italeri hull isn't up to scratch.

    Happy Modelling!

    Wow, I had no idea of the relative size of some of these.

    You really have no idea until you stand next to them.  I will never take photos of my armor models from above again.

    Thanks for the pics! Gotta love the little Hetzer suprised to see

    the T-26 in German Markings.....Both would make great subjects

    for a Takom big-scale small tank! I see Takom has a host of Hetzers in 1/35.....with interiors no less, including a soon to be released Swiss G-13 version.

    Those markings on the T-26...    were the original German markings discovered during the restoration process.
