Thanks Paul! I have the Passion Models detail set for the kit. It's 3D printed like the T-REX one. The Bronco indie link tracks don't quite fit the Tamiya kit so good thing you have the Fruil ones. 

The other bit of AM I'm using is the DEF Models mantlet with the canvas cover. 

 

Thanks Carl. I was considering doing the kit without the mantlet cover like the Cuban Example. TREX makes a couple of versions ; early and late....which

to buy? Is the kit an Early or late Comet? I think the kit fabric cover looks ok to me.The TREX resin tracks look great but a failed attempt with their T55 tracks

has me worried....tiny pins and extremely fragile. Anyway I'm glad to see you're building the kit😀

I started weathering the Trotzky-mobil, Schneider tank and got heavily bored, I needed some fiddly and challenging stuff, so I started with the 1/20 Ebbro Lotus 49C.
I will use a load of extras, like aluminum funnels, rivets and fabric seatbelts. The kit has only a decal for the belts, that´s why I chose a set from MFH. They were indeed fiddly to assemble, but way better looking than a decal. Getting the 0,5 mm rivet into the top fasteners was nerve wrecking, but in the end, the driver's safety was ensured.
I may start a WIP, when I´m back from Portugal





Cheers Rob

KV-1. Color and some init weathering.

Still working on my Tamiya H39 ..........Just finished assembly of the Friulmodel Tracks. They were a struggle, as I

said before, but they look good I think. Next up is painting.......

Here are some pics. Of the tracks installed on the model.......

[BlrwestSiR]

The tracks do look good there Paul. So worth the effort. 

It's a small tank, that's for sure.

More color and part for my KV-1.🙂

[BlrwestSiR]

The Comet is almost done.

1/72 Eduard P-51D-10 from the 8th AF twin pack, which allows you to build a D-5 and a D-10 And a 1/72 Bandai Tie Advanced.

And not visible in the back somewhere the 1/48 Eduard P-39

 

 

Wood grain for the mustang floor, waiting for it to dry before I add the black tar overcoat.

And the chiclet sized life raft pack for the seat back. If thats what that is. Idk, but Eduard doesn't give you one, unless you but a printed seat. I can make my own. Epoxy putty. waiting for the little white buttons.

Those Bandai Star Wars kits are fantastic. I've done a few, including the PG Millennium Falcon and the Tie Advanced.

They are pretty nice. I built a few Of the Fine Molds also. They were nice kits too. Funny thing, to me anyway, is that Fine Molds and Bandai disagree on the size of these various Studio scale models they referenced. Just like models of real objects.

Should have said just like models of real vehicles.

Your Comet is looking great Carl😀

KV-1. The pictures were taken in natural lighting (which is difficult because it is autumn and there is not much light available 😀).

[KevinM]

Just finished the little 1/72 Revell Do-17 night fighter.The kit was pretty good in it's fit but I managed to droop the L/tailplane a few degrees was more worried about the seam and forgot the 90' angle.

Yes indeed, as painful as it is there’s no decent kit of those types so some tlc is required. Drawing and photos are essential. And lots of resin putty

Lots

The turkey wasn't big enough for everyone coming over tonight so we're supplementing with a leg of lamb. 

The turkey has been on for 90 min, and the lamb just joined it. 

Happy Gooble Gooble for the Canadians on here.

Back in '93, I was in Hong Kong and went to a small hobby shop that specialized in garage kits. They had an awesome selection of kits and products from various small cottage industry makers. One of them was a gorgeous skeleton model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. I think it was around $120 USD at the time so I didn't get it. 

Fast forward to 2021 and Bandai came out with a plastic model of a  T-Rex skeleton. I promptly picked one up for the stash. Taking a quick break from the pair of FW 190s on the bench, I finally started it. 

It's 1/32 scale so should make for a nice display next to the FWs.

After about 90 min of bench time, just need to add some legs.

Down to the bone . I love absurd dios, but have no idea how to pair your FW 190´s with that bony predator, Carl.

Lol, I hadn't thought of a diorama pairing the two. Maybe as a museum exhibit? 

More of they're sharing bench space and scale.
