Peterpools Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Smitty Does it require a gloss black base, or can you shoot it right over the aluminum landing gear paint finish and still get the chrome shine? Thanks for the link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's almost there with his Easy 8 Sherman and the VVSS suspension in the Achilles/M10 kits coming out. He just need to combine the two. Have any pics Carl ? I have a Firefly in the stash too.. harv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just throw more tiny details in they can’t do with smaller scales. Im finding that I’m using my OptiVisor more than ever now. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of their kits. The Scammell tank transporters are very nicely done. If you're careful, they can built with working suspension. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
