Thanks. I hope I can start painting the tracks today.

That engine looks really good!

Thanks for the compliments Rob, Martin and Kevin.🙂 Now i must do exhaust and tracks. And maybe something stowage to to emphasize the size of the tank.

More weathering done. Also test fitted roadwheels.

Nice to see ship building here too🙂. Variety for tanks and planes.

I've never built a Sherman. I might try this myself. I'm looking forward to following this build.🙂

Would nice to "super" detail this engine and make it separate display piece👍

Looking good!

Tell me how this worked out. I have successfully created casting marks only with limonene cement and scotch brite. Just apply cement and let it stand for a few minutes...then tap with scotch brite and you have rough texture.

Thanks for the feedback Alan_G🙂

great work👍 i am looking forward to see that 1/16 build🙂

Nice finds👍 Stug in finnish army...I can't wait to see what this will be like.🙂

I used AK076 dark brown filter to create more realistic appearance. Good foundation to add more weathering. Top plate no filter vs side panels filter applied.

I wanted to use many different colors to to illustrate that this machine was put together in a hurry. And with the materials that were available at that time of construction. At the moment the colors seem cartoonish, but I hope I can change this to look more realistic. Wish me luck 😬 bad overspray🫣 Used red primer this time.

Added few small details.

Hello! It's nice to have you back Ralph.🙂

subtle weathering suits this well👍. I never realized how big this plane is😵. Jeep reveals scale of this build. what was intended role of this plane?

yes. I thought the same thing.

If anybody can tell me if those side fenders are cast or rolled steel???

Added more details. With side fenders. Added trumpeter workable tracks which are brilliant. Stock kit has rubber tracks. Added small pins to alloy easy removal of side skirts. More flamecut marks. Added rough texture to barrel and shroud.

This kit is available with Krupp turret (09543) and "Henschelturm"(this kit). I wanted this latter option. Krupp turret would be "more accurate" but this tank never had a turret so...all turrets are wrong anyway🧐. This turret is imaginary combination of Schmalturm and Tiger II Ausf.B turret. Also some games and kits have maus turret but that is impossible by it massive weight.

"And it works with tamiya extra thin so thats good">>does extra thin melt resin?

nice progress. will definitely follow👍

Stunning builds!👍 abrams driving over mig-25?!?😵
