Didn't know Hawks could inflight refuel to get that far .👍

Cheers fella

Cheer Carl I brush the wheels after base colour but before the tracks go on ( although have done that as well when using individual links ) If you look closely you'll see the inner rubber tyres are mostly unpainted ....but you don't notice when you look at it. My style is "glue everything together as much as you can and then paint" . It's partly where I come apart with aircraft because I have to plan it far more..even worse with ships . @HubertB @CANicoll @Peterpools @belugawhaleman Thanks for the encouraging comments fellas .

Going to be big when it's done . I've avoided helicopters bigger than 1/72 up to now ...hopefully I'll get some inspiration from your build to face up to my rotorphobia PS I've built a few MENG models , poor fit is something they don't have issues with IMHO .

He was always Admiral Greer to me as well. Such a great actor, also played the sorcerer in Conan ....so much good stuff .

Love this one Hubert , your absolutely crazy but thats all good ! I so do not want to go down the route of 3D parts, getting to grips with the Silhouette cutter was.... traumatic.

Always a bit crazy to me that Trevithick was a Cornish miner at heart, and took the concept of a beam engine out of a mine to create the world's first locomotive. People remember Stephenson's Rocket, but this was the first. Nice little model some scope for more detailing as well , nice one Kriss

Calling this one done . Didn't reckon much to the in-box figures , so will leave any dio to another day when /I can find some nicer resin offerings . Plus I'd like to finish my Brizzol . M51 1967 Six Day War . Cheerz PW

anyway....... about that Sheridan ....

Keeps the riff raff and curious neighbours out I guess ......is the sound deadening going well ? Nice gravy room BTW

Marketing…..12 versions …..more sales to those who just have to have them all . all this first batch/ middle prod /end prod /1946 is the same , range extension at low cost , the Hasegawa syndrome my cynicism aside there are variants in production esp during war but I wouldn’t trust Chinese manufacturers to have done much real research, Eduard tend to be quite creative/ imaginative as well imho

Just needs a figure with a stovepipe hat

@JohnB Various LW colour mixes gleaned from various forums that I have compiled. Hope it helps . lufty colours.pdflufty colours.pdf

Some good research HERE !

@Martinnfb Thanks for the pics my friend , FYI some are Six Day War ...some Yom Kippur .. I've gone 1967 as they were still mostly "light sand" ...IDF turned into "grey desert" in the early 1970s , although apart from where they mounted some of the accessories there's not a lot in it . They palmed the M51s off on the Lebanese Militias in the 1980s ..who did this with them , although god knows how old 1940's homogenous armour coped with RPG-7 Rounds ....probably why they were cast.

That looks a really great trip . One for when I retire I reckon Did you ask them about making any new 1/32 aircraft, apparently there's a whole forum dedicated to "wishing new ones into existence", but like the fairies.... they remain illusive. 🤣

Cat's .........so much nicer than people 😀

Sh't , thats a heavy deal Scott . I'm sorry to hear that . I guess going to be a lot of feet up in the future , but at least they think they can fix the problems for you , rather than leave you in pain .

Lovely cats ! Esp love Ginger Ninjas 😀 There appears to be three cats in that last pic?

Just a thought , why not go down a Mad Max or other Sci fi route and use what you made , rather than get too hung up on the accuracy . It looked a fun build to me , and shame to park it ?

Tamiya HQ eh , Im very jealous . Did you wear a Hasegawa T Shirt ?😝
