PanzerWomble

Have done similar on other aircraft , dill out the plastic axel and make a brass one, stronger and lets you put the wheel on when it suits you

Once you go metal tracks ....you won't go back to plastic ...just saying . 😀 Look a those lovely burnished Tiger tracks ....NOM !

That's a a dog old Transall ex German Lufty from 1971 . There is reason old airframes can't carry on for years and years no matter how much we love them . Hi Maru 👋

beautiful work Mike

More distraction whilst I let oils dry . Too advanced already for the twin build but needs completion .

That is a very precise build , looks very Spitfire underneath with that wing .

Very nice , raised the bar somewhat on most of our efforts this year . Figures capture the brothers look very well .

I have to do it in chunks and take a rest , it's just too much work on the giant salami to do it all in one push . I also need to think what this dio is going to look like before hacking the foam . 🤔

Oops double post ...probably wasn't that good first time around

1/35 B17 ....for the man who believes that 'size is everything' ...? .......that'll be a 36 inch wingpsan ....maybe I'm in the wrong place but that's lost on me gents . 😖 Who the heck has room for that ? Even wrestling it around to build it is beyond most peoples bench no ? I suppose great if you like that sort of thing ,and looking at the Kate if it's anything like that it will be impressive in detail . I suspect this may become another $600 buck stash queen like all those Lancs you don't see built . Thank heavens it wasn't in "true scale" that would make it 39 inches , you can see now why they whine about this scalism on some other forums , that extra 6 inches......... makes all the difference I'm sure . 😂

Curious ....

Back in 1232...or any ISIS run state ...

Such an oddball from iL Duce's air force, nice to see it built

Noice ! Interesting subject. My last ICM attempt became a Henschal Lawn Dart .....I'm not convinced Tbh but might be my lack of patience .

I just got overexcited at the pic you posted , and i know nothing about Tonkas

That one shot from an SLR clearly took out the tank , i mean look at it ? Its totally fooked man . proper mans gun for proper Toms, not some nancy 5.56 ….

That is such a classic piece of engineering design , simple , elegant and timeless , Enterprise has never aged, still looks as good today as it did 60 years ago, still credible . Jeffries and Roddenberry got it bang on the nail with her .

That the joy of oils , you've got 12 -24 hours to correct and go back . I find after the first application it always looks a bit mickey mouse, so you go back and tone it down once or twice and then done. If you hate it , turps and a rag removes it all & start again . Also I has foam sea now ...

Holy cow doesn't even come close

Probably a lot more capable though, more weapons longer loiter, similar performance

Interesting one , can't remember seeing one of these built for a long time .
