Had a nice chat with Bob and James. James had a couple of nice new kits that he showed us the link to the company about a week ago. Bob was building on his Bazooka Piper. I built on my sFH18 artillery piece and made some decent progress on a correction to the kit.

Yeah, I have had to do a couple of repairs on mine over the years. The first repair they put a carbon steel ball bearing in the check valve from the compressor to the tank. The ball rusted and it wouldn't hold air. fixed it with a acrylic part I made that has worked perfectly ever since. It...

They are coming along nicely.

See ya'all in the morning!

I wouldn't worry about aftermarket tracks on a 1/16th kit let alone metal tracks. In getting the tracks on my 251 to work and drape right, I spent the time with small files working on each track link part till they worked just right. Made a huge difference now that they are painted and all...

Welcome back Joe! So you have made some progress on this. Looking good so far!

I am curious about the zimmerit tools. They look to be really nicely made, but with the wheels, how do they work? You are going to have to give us a show and tell on them.

John might be right there with lighter. All day sun near the equator (N Africa) would tend to bleach all the coloring out, even the green line work.

Nice looking pups John.

Now that's COOL!

War Departments. The best laid plans always go down the tube when engaging with the war dept.

The whole point is to build it your way and enjoy the build. Interesting in that the rear of the cockpit is RLM02 grey green, while the pilot area is RLM66 black grey.
