finally some progress............next job is spraying all the body work

nice looking aircraft, can see that selling well

i just looked him up......it weighed 9 ton and he drove it thro the congo to the border of uganda in the late 40s!!! even had a bath inside....guess if you are going to do it then do it in style

difficult question cos my genres are cars, bikes and armour.......only tamiya does all three really.......but ive already done most of what interests me from them so i might have to ditch armour and go with Aoshima 😁

lol....i was going to do an 888 but steve beat me to it

thought i should do a Ducati next simply cos i have a bottle of the right colour red 🤣 this might take a while before next update........with bikes i tend to spend a week painting everything, then put it all together in no time

going on my experience with PM kits......................good luck!!

finished! why number 5?......cos its the 5th time ive done this kit......and loved it as much as the first one had drama right had the very end.....last bits to go was the indicators on the front wings..........ping!.....carpet monster claimed one!........had to fabricate two new ones, had to get inventive lol still not impressed with the seat belts....one and only time i will use tamiyas

what scale?......be nice to see in a large scale did they make any for real?

ive decided im going with the aero screens..........just got to be careful cos i forgot to drill the holes in the cowl before i attached it! doh!

plan was to put a wide white stripe down the middle didnt happen!.......stripe was too wide so didnt look right......was too translucent so was actually pale blue lol had a rummage thro the spares box and found a decal sheet for an ancient Heller Renault 5.....which had some dual red stripes down the sides......was long enough for this so gone with it

sorry for lack of updates.....blame tamiya!! i seem to have spent all week doing the seat belts its only with this issue of the kit that tamiya have included a pe fret with grilles and the seat belt buckles......and a sheet of sticky backed vinyl with different coloured belts printed on........nice idea but they are without doubt the worst pe belts ive ever done.......eduard ones are simple compared to these.......found i could do one ......then had to go and do something else cos my brain was frazzled with the concentration (and frustration).....come back an hour later to do another

glad you are doing this......i picked this up recently so i can see how you do it

bit more done since its going to be sealed up im not wasting time on the engine bay not sure how much im going to get done today........ive painted the seats and not happy so they are in the stripper so i can redo them

well...its blue! lol 2 coats of Game Air Ultramarine Blue and 2 coats of clear on top
