    Kai, All of that PE work looks great and will add to your build.

    The second go round with oils. I concentrated on the cloth surfaces, and the dirty areas underneath. I added a bit of brown to the exhaust smudge... but it's pretty hard to see.

    Cool stuff, Rob! I'm looking forward to how your exterior work goes.

    Excellent work!

    Thank you for that info! I will give that a go!

    After further waffling, I decided I wanted some airbrush practice. The reason for further waffling was discovering that they were Ostketten and not winterketten. This opens up the deployment months to include all of the wet months.t My original display concerned a winter vehicle in a situation where there was some mud as well as snow. But... now I can dispense with the winter colors if I desire. Which helps because I don't have to try to find winter figures. Also... I didn't like the original scheme. It look unnatural. So, I painted this freehand last night. Again, I wanted the green to dominate. Again, SMS lacquers . And I added the Ostketten which are dry fitted. I had to put pins over the drivers compartment to hold the heavy tracks in place. Anyway... more kits to do and never enough time.

    That cab looks amazing... though I know nothing about the real thing.

    The StuG is repainted. I Think I'll pass on the camo scheme and just got the white over the yellow... We'll see. Meanwhile... a new discovery. What I thought were Winterketten are actually Ostketten. So, now I need ten spares to put in the rack behind the crew compartment. What color would you paint brand spanking new German tracks? Gaz

    Some interesting work, Rob. Love the welder figure.

    Excellent job!

    Thank you, Kai! I'll never 'paint' an NMF model again. Unfortunately the only NMF models I have left in the stash are in 1/48.

    Very nice job! These things were in their final years with the USMC while I spent some time at MCAS El Toro. I remember watching them banking around the airfield with their flaps fully deployed. It was very cool!

    Kai, She's been moved around a lot, and over time the ventral fin and pitot tube have become detached. I'm not really sure where the pitot tube ended up. Hope you like them, still.

    The skin on your model looks great Kai. For a long time I abstained from Italeri models. But when they released the Starfighter in 1/32, I had to check the reviews and decided to buy one. I'm glad I did, because I got a great result despite the kit's only noteworthy flaw which is trench-like panel lines. But not all of the panel lines were bad. Mainly those along the dorsal area. I have seen some guys go al the way with it and detail it to the hilt. But I'm not that guy, and I was quite happy with my investment. If I was going to do another, I'd make a commitment to fill and re-scribe. Maybe someday.

    Kai, The pit looks stunning. I have heard stories about the Italeri Mirage kits. Unfortunately, none of them good. However, with enough patience anything can be made to shine. Looking forward to see what you make with this one.

    Thank you, Peter.

    HI guys, Thank you very much. We're at a bit of a standstill at the moment because I wasn't happy with the white. So, I decided to strip the white and redo it. But... as will happen, I lost a lot of the lacquer paint. too. But not enough. So, I am hitting the whole thing with another spray of oven cleaner, and it will soak until after work tomorrow. Or maybe later tonite as I have no patience whatsoever. Carl, I don't really know how the winter white was applied in every case. Whether it was paint, or lime. Brushed or sprayed. Either way, I try to avoid 1/1 scale over-spray. I'm still feeling my way with this chipping fluid/hairspray.
