They also did this one many years ago 😀

I'd like this as day job, I also have a friend who restores tanks in the UK ...

Crazy insane and wonderful in equal segments . Half term here meant less modelling for me as wife was home all week and there was stuff to do apparently !

Yes Flory washes ......we've all tried them ...when they are nice they can be very nice ...and when the go wrong they kill NMF and decals very quickly😀 I like dirty birds so have passed off the hit and miss results as heavy petting weathering . Good that you persevered though.....unless I really CBA ... I like trying something new as often as I can . I thinks it's all part of the hobby , even failures teach something .

I'll be dipped ....I'm kinda lost for words at that ! I'm seeing it but I can't believe it .

On another note, Suomi produces some cracking films about their wars with the Russians . Given they were largely a citizen militia fighting on their home turf, the flavour of their films is unique, far less gung ho or "sir yes sir". The also have a lot of vintage armour to use in filming . Fun Fact - Finland was the only mainland European nation not to be occupied by an enemy in WW2 1984 Talvisota IMDB here 1999 Ambush 1941 IMDB here and the series I've been watching last week , The Unknown Soldier 2017. IMDB here

Diverting slightly to the left .... Bought one of these ...soooooo cute . Odd how I like 1/48 aircraft but not armour. 🥺 Zats all zere is volks teetny weeny Not much paint used Looking for Maarti Getting closer , need to complete the land side next . "5 minutes head start"

I always enjoyed hearing about Lake Wobegon .

Urgh I hate resin . Pour went on , looked ok , then it built up heat and bubbled to fack, melting stuff .....need to find a reliable resin , not random shite bought off ebay . Busy with other clonck as well . Back soon but don't expect much . #peedofinoxford

Soiry kids is a wah story from 2016 . The Rotherham Bugle is a pisstake blog ...from the "about us " We decided to launch The Rotherham Bugle after identifying a fundamental problem with other news based media covering the South Yorkshire area – they are restricted by a requirement that they stick to reporting on things that actually happened. And here’s the problem with that – what actually happened tends to be boring. And so from the very start, we made an editorial decision to give facts a back seat. Yes, you may find a grain of truth hidden away somewhere, but it’s more by accident than design. If you do find something that’s true, don’t judge us too harshly. Anyone can make mistakes. Our primary focus is on stuff that we’d have liked to happen, had a story taken a more interesting turn. They’re the sort of things that might occur to you in the bath, on the bog or while sitting in your car waiting for the sodding lights to change at Whiston Crossroads. Any similarity between the style and content of our stories and those featured in mainstream media, is purely intentional. We hope you enjoy our alternative take on the news affecting people in Rotherham, and if there are any stories you feel we should be covering, we’d be delighted to hear from you. https://www.rotherhambugle.com/about-us/ Funny regardless.

Take 2 Whoosh zoom bang ! Nearly ready for the do or die moment . Laterz PW

Wonderful , so simple and yet so elegant and expertly executed .

Fun fact if you ever get over to Normandy - the D-Day experience museum near Caretan has a full size flight simulator based on a C-47 chassis , where you get to "experience" flying into normandy on D-Day. Sounds naff I know, but after 2 mins we found ourselves 100% "in the zone". It is at Dead mans Corner where the US 101st and the Falshirmjeager battled it out for three days to capture the hotel https://dday-experience.com/en/

Ok I've genuine kit envy there .....I love Takom's desings even if they are never quick builds .

Look pretty handsome from where I'm sat, great finish to an older kit , and again love the Voodoo, esp in this interesting cammo scheme. 😀 1985 tooling , when 1/48 meant upscaled 1/72 mostly , raised panel lines et all ....and compared to 2022 tooling .....we've come a long long way in under 40 years

& this is a new tool from 2017 .....? It's a real shame to me that Airfix don't go the extra 25 yards , because they clearly thought about providing some inside details. I also don't believe that their moulding company in India hasn't access to decent tooling designers , so whats going on ? Rant over - you are are far better man than I, Mike to fill all that in. I had a look around the Walrus at the FAA museum last year , they were really interesting aircraft.

It's just beaucoup de masking tape and your sanity after all , what could possibly go wrong 😀 Be outstanding if you could pull it off though.

Really like that , the effect you've achieved with the paintwork is awesome . It's also bang on the money to your reference pic. 👍 Great work ! Looking forward to seeing your Finnish build too .
