PanzerWomble

Thats shaping up well, even if the aircraft itself is odd looking ! Banana - ish

Been very busy Mike , both are looking great. I didn;t realise how small an aircraft they were .

Built this lil Stug a while ago, ( build here ) .......didn't know what I wanted to do with it after that , then found these nice resin figures . Tamiya Stug, Panzer Art figs , Precision Ice and Snow's Krycell , everything else scratched. Cheers PW https://i.postimg.cc/3wC6N8S8/temp-Image6-Ul-D3b.avif

Mind boggling rigging coming up . Look forward to see it come together .

I'll wait for the bunny version ...

Thats the start of an internet conspiracy theory meme right there !

Nice job John, I like the subtle mottling , also curious how you got the engine to fit😳 my one build of that Revell was very tricksy getting the cowl to play nicely. FYI Lothar Fodisch didn't finish the war. Link to pilot info

Toom goodness 👍

My bad - yes the Infini is also what I use- imported at vast expense from Japan . The Prym is flat that explains why for British . I picked up the notes from the late Des Dellatores' Website when I had a first go at an Academy Camel ... which are Still there in 2024. Just looked back on TOP.......... that build was in 2012 😳, when my skills were nowhere near what I needed to do it justice ...and that project was binned for sure .... Time flies !

.........& I thought getting to grips with my Silhouette machine was 'cutting edge ' 😳* *repeats to self not going down this rabbit hole Bravo to you though Hubert , this will be a build for the books !

That's a bonny build ! I like the colour scheme

Great build !

I think the home made eyelets and cut tubes ( Albion brass in my case) are probably a bit overscale for 1/48 , more in line with 1/32 ? I cheat with the ezyline and run it as a single continuous thread around the entire bay if possible, so one eyelet does two jobs. (FRAUD !!) Max recommended PRYM thread on his builds , which I also own but have not used yet, as it is clear and probably better for later RAF aircraft? I'm still on the fence a bit with biplanes, I'm doing cheap 1/48 ones as a way of measuring up if I want to take the cost plunge on 1/32 and throw myself into learning the required skills set or just keep on dabbling. Bit like ship building as well with me . At some point I may commit to one of the other , or maybe neither ! 😆

There has been progress ....I was planning to post more when the wings were together

Absolutely wonderful kit , I did the R100 version some years back Really fun build and still sits on my shelves. Link to small build log

All that Pervitin they were taking 😀

There's a song about them I'm sure .

80 years ago the Paras finest hour came to an end . 10,000 dropped, along with the Polish Brigade ; 2,000 returned 10 days later. Five VC's were awarded after the battle. I saw an interview with a Hohenstaufen trooper years ago, who expressed how hard the Paras fought even when cornered and surrounded, still refusing to surrender. "They were not..... mummie's boys" he grimaced. I spent 4 days in Arnhem in 2015 , although the town and bridge were destroyed by the Germans after the battle (with great repercussions for the Dutch townsfolk) and then rebuilt after the war , there is still a lot to see with some well done museums . One for your bucket list

Gorgeous work , love those camouflage colours.

@BlrwestSiR typo ? Glad to see the BBF at work in Belgium , would love to see Vipers in the UK

God forbid....Tamiya's paint range????.... is somewhat in need of an update ????....heresy apparently !!! I tried and didn't get on with Life Colours John, I'm guessing MRPs might be easier if you are ok with lacquers and don't want to be bothered mixing ?

27 Eur sounds cheap . In the UK sellers were knocking them out for £40 -50 ....the two I bought were clearance sales for half that. Airfix tend to have a particular market esp in the UK with middle aged men who buy "Airfix" more than buy "models" and are happy to pay a premium even if the original maker's is cheaper . You can see it all on a particular forum I won't mention They appear to have done a bunch of re pops in 2020 ahead of their 1/35 Cromwell launch which wasn't recieved that well , so probably wont happen again is my guess.
