What happened? We, here in Canada have been hearing and seeing how well, OZ and NZ have done, at one point declared Covid free........ damn....
There have recently been spikes in Sydney and Melbourne as people have failed to take the necessary precautions. Unfortunately, two women from here went there, and brought it back. Also... unfortunately, those two women worked in a school which is minutes down the road from where I work. It is a private school, but two of my co-workers have children enrolled there. Those two people are now in isolation pending testing.... one of them actually came to work this morning.

Well... Covid is just down the road from me now... I mean... 21 minutes drive from home, 11 minutes from work. My wife's school has cancelled all excursions to the area around where I work. Apparently my workplace has somebody who will sterilize the whole place in three days.
It just got more real. Being in that 50+ age group...

That is an excellent build and you have achieved a lovely finish. The dulling down the lozenge works well. I will need to do that when I complete the one I am working on now. I think I will practice on my Pfalz DXII. first. I will try Tamiya smoke first.
I do like the finish on the exhaust it looks like heat damage and staining.
Andrew.Thank you!

Rob,
I like the look of it now, but I'm the wrong guy to ask about long term wear on jet models. I haven;t given the area much study. I have seen some guys do great things with weathered jets, tho. I'll be interested in seeing where it goes from here.

Hey all ...
Every 1/35 AFV kit I own is designed to be part of a dio creation ...
So I'm getting into 1/16 for the purpose of stand alone displays.
The only Pz.IV kits (apart from the outrageously expensive Tamiya ones) ... are the Trumpeter ones ...
... And the closest to an earlier infantry support model are the F.2 kits.
So can I change the F.2 into an F.1 simply by slicing the off the 75mm barrel to create a "stump" while using some evergreen or sprue to create the arial interuptor
... Or are things a tad more complex??
Rog
Rog,
As long as you get the taper of the barrel right, you should be fine. AFAIK.

A bit of work on the Takom M47. My usual tendency is to do everything else, and then fit the crew, if any. Consequently, I'm pretty tired of the project by then and the figgies are rushed and who knows what kind of stresses the completed kit are subjected to. So, in a bid to be different and create a better model I've built basic structures to support the crew with bits of sprue and Evergreen sheet where required.
Despite Covid 19 I received these metal figures from Dolp Zinnafiguren in Germany. They've been assembled with CA and and seams filled with milliput which was smoothed with wet cotton buds. I'm trying to avoid sanding lead and resin whenever possible.
Tomorrow, once the milliput has dried, I can prime them.

I read that the vanes had to do with the underwing rockets. I’ll look it up again.
i only read good reviews about the primer i used, but it’s shit. Probably quite literally too... i found a way to take the masks off safe. Keep them under warm water.
Thanks, Jeroen!
So... you dip the model into a tub of water and then pull the mask?

Fantastic job, Carl! I'd be proud to park a Tiger on it.

I know you're building a model and it looks fantastic! But do you know if the vanes on the wings actually did anything?
I had a short dance with acrylic primer.
the worst paint lift in my life!

Well...once Covid surpasses Spanish flu, maybe people will take it more seriously. Social media doesn't help. But then again, the country falling to bits because everything is closed isn't a viable answer either. The fact that you can re-catch it makes it even more scary.
The message from mother nature is clear: "It's taken a long time for me to come up with a better way... but I'm coming for you!"

A guy in Moose Jaw owned it when I was in the Army. We spent more than a few Saturday evenings in that thing and my old red two door cruisin’ looking cool and making the glass packs bark in the underpasses.
Did you know that Moose Jaw is represented in at least two songs.
I hope you like it, eh!

Well, time to dust off the old clunker and get her running. Covid kind of put a damper on everything, but I’m sick and tired of watching the summer go by.
Had two tires low, but were only flat on the bottom.
Everytime we take this thing out, we hear people laughing for blocks around Salmon, White, and black ain’t the most masculine color scheme in the world
Whenever anyone laughs, just wave a M1911 at them.

I really don't know much about jetliners. If A380 and 747 are retired, what is left that can do the long hauls across the Pacific?
And I'll tell ya one thing... riding jump seats from Hawaii to Okinawa in a C-141... is not my definition of a good time!

The death of the three and four engine airliner is here for good now. Fanjets are incredibly reliable now and much, much more powerful. But no matter how good they are, I still can't imagine flying to Australia onboard anything with less than three functional engines.
C'mon, Ern! I make a great Pumpkin pie.

Now we have to wear a mask while outside. This sounds like the old "pots and pans for Spitfires", makes people feel good but not particularly effective. Especially so as they said we can wear anything, so no hospital grade stuff that might make a difference, just wear some cloth around your face. Yeh, that's not going to protect you.
No... it doesn't protect you. But it reduces the amount of water droplets from your mouth getting into the local atmosphere. It protects other people from you.

Great job, Rob! Nicely rigged for 1/48, too.
Love those shorts!
So, did the pattern on the benches prevent graffiti?
