  1. I was looking at the stash and saw this kit sitting in it. I've had it long enough that the ship I bought it from closed over 10 years ago. Anyways, it has marking for the 1956 Suez crisis so it fits the GB nicely. Plus it gave me a reason to finally build it. It'll be 100% OOB.
  2. A real life egg plane!
  3. That's the one. Halberd is doing 1/32 and next year a 1/24 version. The latter is probably as big as most 1/48 planes. Definitely an odd looking plane. Perfect next to the Flying Pancake.
  4. What an interesting subject Hubert. Something I wouldn't not have known about but for reading the backstory behind your build.
  5. That's evil. Just saying. Anyways, it's sold out so my wallet is safe. For now. Mind you the Halberd XF-85 is so very tempting....
  6. The paintwork on the underside looks great. The shading isn't too stark and gives it that sandy sort of dirt that I think you were aiming for.
  7. Neat looking AFV. The 38T chassis was certainly versatile.
  8. Nice to see you got the cockpit to fit between the wheel bays.
  9. Finally made some progress. The fit so far has been very good. Everything where's it's supposed to. Which is a relief as there's smlo many bits. Here's the front of the lower hull. 18 parts not including the hull itself. There's a basic drivers position, mostly the seat. With the hull side in place. The upper hull is a perfect fit onto this.
  10. Chris, your 109 is just humming along. Looking forward to the camo.
  11. I'm between paycheques or I would have probably broken down and grabbed one. They've extended the offer until tonight just to be cruel about it.
  12. Phil, that Jeep would look great next to my LRDG Ford.
  13. Interesting way they stacked the tiles.
  14. Great progress there Martin. Nice solution to the broken hub.
  15. Well, I finally got a start. First up, the .50 Browning on the commander's cupola. Silly number of parts to this bit. Next up, I started on the suspension arms. Again, lots of little pieces to add to the hull sides. Hopefully more to come.
  16. That's a good question. Our harsh Canadian winters aren't for the delicate. Or at least when they were harsh.
  17. Thanks Martin! It's been fun messing with the paint.
  18. The cargo bed is now weathered. Dry fit on the chassis.
  19. Welcome aboard! Very nice looking Sherman.
  20. X5!!! What a stunning looking interior.
  21. Today's deal is the HK B-25H kit. https://www.bnamodelworld.com/model-planes-hk-models-hk-01e037-1:32-north-american-b-25h-mitchell-gunships-over-cbi Don't think you can find it for cheaper. Even with shipping from Australia.
  22. They're a thick acrylic paint. Looks like they have a fairly fine pigment to them. I'll let you know how they work out.
  23. I didn't know Aerocraft made a prop for the P-51A, thanks for pointing it out Dennis.
  24. Now, now Martin. The 6 or so we got from the RAAF must be in flyable condition. After all, they managed to fly here from Australia.
  25. Wow, I'm so slow I haven't even taken the sprues out of their bags yet.
