Awaiting parts for the frightening and doing some "completions"....everything bar the belts and some touching up and then zip it up . interior colour is toned down XF71 Cockpit Green from Tamiya, as it always seems very dark for the scale , although is not a bad match overall . 

I like the Yahu panel I bought a year ago , although so far inside it won't be seen . "Wiring" is 100% made up .

Years ago I collected parts from my scrap to build 109. It ended up being early G. The reason for this was to show to my friend a former member here Dale, how to use various techniques and  pass him as much knowledge as I could. We were sitting in front of Skype for days and playing with plastic, becoming close friends. He’s not with us anymore and I miss him and going to finish this. 
 

Would be a great tribute to Dale to finish that bird, Martin. He was a great guy and I can imagine some intense skyping with him.

Cheers Rob

Finally getting back to my Me262 build after an age away from it. Lost mojo, intense work things and life issues to resolve.

Started painting the rear section of the engine and now painted the pipework i scratch built. Just a few more things to paint then it's time to glue all together and get on with the wheel bay build

[DRUMS01]

Just starting to break the box open on this one.

Also got the Quinta Studios cockpit and pilot figures. I'm not positive if it will be otherwise OOB or if it's going to be converted to an Erickson fire fighting crane. There is a file available for a 3d printer and decals, but I would have to find somebody with a printer as I do not have one. The civilian colors really make this thing stand out in a major way.

Yeah Paul about to pull out the Paduka wood tonight and start the base.

Been working on Takom's SMK......

Got the hull and wheels mostly done. Only problem was the grab handles

on the hatches didn't fit.....the location holes had to be drilled out larger.

Yes, i already bought some friul tracks for this kit, but the kits link & length tracks

are very good.

[belugawhaleman]

More work on the SMK 

Construction work mostly done.....painting in near future.

Some minor putty needed in a few places, but otherwise went together well.

Tiny transparent vision blocks a pain to put in place. I will not be using the

kit tracks, but will instead be using Friulmodel tracks. A big, odd-looking, tank this one!

Well, disaster today.....on the SMK.

While trying to glue on a part with ca. An entire capful of CA dropped

On the model destroying the kit.....As I See it this kit can no longer be finished. I see no way to remove the CA spilled all over the back of this

Model. Perhaps the undamaged parts,  wheels, turrets etc can be used on

a new kit.......Mad As Hell!

 

Addendum: I just ordered another SMK kit from Scalehobbyist.

Oh well....Hell.....Tomorrow is another day. By the way ScaleHobbyist has these for $46.00...A good price, I was lucky to

find one.

[BlrwestSiR]

Paul, sorry to hear about the CA spill.

Any chance you can use debonder to clean it up? The CA shouldn't have done any damage to the plastic unless it kicked off thermally. I had that happen once when I put a dropper full of CA accelerator into the CA bottle by accident. The bottle got really hot and smoked. Then it hardened into a solid lump.

Thanks Carl.

No, I don't think using debonder will be worth the effort. Plus, I did something perhaps really stupid by spraying it with accelerator after 

Trying to wipe the glue off.... It did seem to remove some glue at first before hardening into a real mess. Kind of serves me right as I was getting

frustrated and irritable trying to glue the engine screen shown in my picture.

I should have put the model aside....cooled down a bit. Instead I became

careless, an invitation for accidents. Anyway, I ordered a new kit at a good

price and I'll try again. Until then, I'll start a new kit. I'm looking at Takom's

Little G13 Swiss Hetzer.

Well, it doesn´t look too bad with the CA on, Paul. You might spray some primer on top, to see, how it looks afterwards. There are myriads of possibilities to hide the section later with a tarpaulin, figures, equipment, snow, camo netting, ...

Cheers Rob

Or use this hull as diorama damaged part.🧐

Where didt you found the files for the conversion?
