If you need any reference pics, I have the big Schiffer book on the B-25.

On that note, happy Robbie Burns Day!

Do these help? This are from my aborted build. Some of it is scratch built and some came from a Profimodel set.

Peter, it's the same here. For whatever reason reason 1/32 Spitfires dominate in my display case and my stash. I think I've only built a couple in other scales oddly.

I've been working away at the camo. More random panels added of different colours.

This is my second Amusing Hobby build. I did their E100 earlier. They've both been very similar. A bit simplified but everything goes together nicely. The Badger is based on the Conqueror so I imagine that would go together as well as this has.

Peter, I hear ya. The Su-33 counts and I'm barely into that build it's so involved so I'll probably have that moved here. As for the Tomcats, it almost seems perfect timing in having some Reskit goodies just arrive for it.

Still my favourite jet. I have a pair of the D version in the stash. Gotta finish what I have going. At some of it.

I remember when you started this. Glad to see it back. Can't wait to see what else you do with the interior.

Meantime, I've started on the Berlin Brigade camo. Lots of masking so I'm doing it panel by panel.

I think my LHS has some graffiti tag stencils. Could be an option too.

I've got both the Tamiya and the Andy's kits in the stash so there's another possibility.

Martin, that's a great tribute to Dale. He is definitely missed.

I could be up for it with this one: Or

What about a hybrid then? I think one of the Japanese model companies make a Prius.

In that case, I'm entering Jennifer Connelly!!!

Yup they're metal. I think they're white metal or something similar. The kit had indie link tracks but each one had two sprue connections and a pair of ejector pin marks that would need clean up so the Fruil tracks were much easier to deal with. A couple needed the holes cleaned up before I could insert the wire but otherwise it was straightforward.

A giant, super sized NATO green Stug: Or maybe a JSU-152 in that shade?

Rear hull is done. Periscopes for the driver and co-driver(?) in place. Gun breech. Nice and simple as nothing will be seen. Sponsors are in place. This thing looks like a Stug. A giant, super sized Stug.

Might be an idea.

Wow, that looks great.

While I wait for the needed bits for my Su-33 to arrive, I had planned to work on something already on the bench. That didn't quite go as planned. My stash is a huge mess due to some renos going on in the house. Near the top of the pile was this kit. The FV 217 is a paper Panzer, based on the FV 214 Conqueror heavy battle tank designed by the British in response to the JS and KV tanks the Soviets were making at the end of the war. I think that's the story anyways. As for the kit, It's fairly straightforward, no interior, no PE, no absurdly tiny parts, so I figured why not. There was a set of Fruil tracks in the box so decided to start with those. 196 links and one accidental stabbing later, they were together. The other bit of AM is a set of paints for the Berlin brigade. This is one of the paint options. Although honestly I can't see this thing being to make around any street corners with that cannon barrel in the way... Onto the build, I started painting bits before assembly but didn't get far. The bogies are similar to the HVSS suspension on the Sherman. The kit has the option of working suspension or fixed. The working one has a real spring which looked better than the fixed one so that's what I went with. Installed on the lower hull. The underside of the upper hull has a couple ejector pins that might need clean up. And that's where I am after a day's work.

I received my order from Reskit today. It's for kits in the stash already. They even threw in a bonus figure. As always, I'm in awe how they can design and manufacture their products in their current situation.

Nice looking F-86 and like the other have said, great wall display.

Nice haul Paul. I had a great time dealing with Evans. They answered all my questions and helped me make sure I had ordered the right LEDs and accessories for my lighting project.
