Lovely work there.

Those rads look absolutely fragile on the front there. I'd be afraid to handle it after attaching the pair of them.

Looks fantastic. A bit more work than an OOB build but definitely looks worth the effort. Carl

I started the Takom M29C Weasel kit shortly after it came out. The tracks and running Gear were a complete mess. The parts were too small and the alignment pins were too shallow to get things lined up properly. Then the link and length tracks weren't a great fit either. Then FC Modeltrends came out with a one piece track and running gear 3D printed set. I carefully ripped off the kit stuff and after removing the FDM parts from the print supports, I glued those on. Much better. Now I might have enough encouragement to finish the build.

Hopefully they sort you out with a replacement.

Some fantastic progress Rob. Great solution for the exhaust springs. I might have to look into the MFH belts as well for some of my other kits. Carl

This looks to be a nice kit. A great assortment of AM for it too. Carl

I've been working on this over the last couple of days. The original paint scheme in the various greens have me the idea to do it in a splinter scheme. I'm going to weather this a bit more. @Martinnfb suggested adding a winter wash to it. So that might happen next. Probably with a bit more battle damage too.

Really nice looking radial there Martin. Suitably grimey.

Looks great. I really like the finish. Carl

Just catching up on your build Rob and it looks fantastic. I've been running into static issues with my models recently as well. Washing the parts has helped there for me as well.

Well I guess it was my turn to take one for the team.

Of course, I just started converting a Kotare Mk I into a PR Spitfire. Can't wait for an OOB PRXIX. Carl

Welcome aboard! This is a kit I plan to get in the future so I'm glad to see one being built. Great to hear it's going together nicely. As for AM, there's a couple MG3 guns have been announced/released but that's it. Carl

Not scientific at all since I'm colour blind but here's the 3 versions that I have. L-R: Tru Color TCP-1290 RAF Interior Grey Green, Tamiya XF-71, AK Real Colors RC293 RAF Cockpit Grey Green. I tend to use whichever one comes to hand, except for maybe the Real Colours which dried out a bit it seems. Did I mention I'm colour blind?
