Found something buried.

The paint job went pear shaped so back into the box it went I don't know how many years ago. Time to fix it and get it done me thinks.

Wow Carl., nice one. I have one in the stash with Harold's FT 33 pit and goodies. I have never found the right decals or paint scheme for it. But I like this one. What did you use for the nmf.....harv

Thanks Harv! 

I used Alclad but can't recall the specific shades. There's a number of issues with the coverage and I couldn't at the time think of an easy solution.

You got that kit that far you must regroup and knock it out!

LMAO! What’s on my bench is....every damn tool and sanding stick I own! Ignore the hello and look at the disaster behind it.

IMHO a messy workbench is a productive workbench. :D

Decent progress on the repaint of the Felix.  Unfortunately I'm finding issues show up from when I last worked on it that will require rework and repainting.   That's ok, this is proving to be a LONG term project.

Success!! It took a lot of masking attempts to find a way to get the lines painted.  I'm thrilled with how its going.  Now to start the touch ups.

Lovely Martin.   Occasionally I think about grabbing a Tamiya Sherman to try, but I just dont think I have the weathering skills to make it look right.  You guys always amaze me with what you can accomplish. 

 

Also, think I'm gonna need a bigger bench!!!

Tony, thank you . At the other hand I can't get over your precise and meticulous finishes. This Zvezda T-34 is a joy to build, completely OOB. Sort of a preparation for Birdcage Corsair :)

Martin, I can't wait to see what you do with a Birdcage. 

I've done one so far and it's definitely my most weathered build ever. Took a bunch of trial and error to get something suitable.

Sprinkled some Nats enthusiasm on myself and picked up my previously started 152.

Got pretty far in initial painting on the engine, long way to go...more black, detail painting and washes
