Blimp

After being in Hozzie and an annoying bout of recovery , I'm back 😈 I'm still a bit fragile , and had to keep away from the playpen for a while . However , I couldn't resist , here is my old scratch built ISU - now with a Taigen metal chassis and HL 7.1 radio set u

So sorry to hear this Carl . Losing a loved one never gets easier , but she had the best life 😿 B.

Sorry for my absence folks , I've been in Hozzie 🚑 I just got back , I'm still a bit tender but the upside is more bench time 😜. Watch this space ! B.

The 'fugspech A' radio {bottom one) is in the H/Boss kit . I made a silicon mold and modified to a 'fugsprech F' by adding/removing knobs, dials etc. Rack was .3mm brass and spare P.E fret. The ' feind hört mit ' decal and other placards are AFV items. Wiring harness , plugs , headphones , mic's and speaker to do yet

. . . and some paint , to check they're ok . Oh , it;s Beer o'clock already . . . Stay lucky folks , see ya later.

You could be right , a 1/16 kit was announced a while ago 'coming soon' . anyhoo . . , But now , time for some Internal parts - Hobby boss transmission and hull details underway. I'll need some stuff to stick to the walls too , ammo , radio rack etc. Scratch time .

Let the slaughter begin Most of the lower hull is used , but the upper panels have to be thinned and cut down , scotch tape helps protect the wanted bits . * The different coloured plastic is because I have already started with the Panda kit. Dry run . Next up , Aggggh ! P.E. Aber fender, Masterclub fasteners . - I prefer to solder my P.E. using solder paste and a disposable lighter, spring tweezers are a boon . Simples eh 😊 More anon . . .

I've had the Panda version in the stash , waiting for such a conversion , but then hobby Boss released this . A completely retooled kit , with interior ( no engine though ) - Just the job - Saves me a ton of work . Yay!

😌 You got me ! I introduce my victim -

Hiya folks My moniker is 'Blimp' and I'm an old modelholic , I'll have a go at most things ,yup I have no shame. My latest - RC 1/16 Sherman II , El Alamein , Operation Bertram.
