Well I FINALLY got some paint on this! I am really trying to move over to Acrylics, and in the process have made every beginner mistake you can possibly make! am NOT a fan of Vallejo Air, but with the help of the esteemed Eric Rains, managed to get some paint on this. I did not get a pic of...

All of thoseSuggestions were spot on. One thing I do is to use EBay. I am careful to make sure the supplier is in the US whenever possible I recently bought a Hataka paint Set From Poland and it arrived in only 10 days So EBay can be an asset with a bit of research

Wow that’s sooper-kewl

There’s a good reason they’re known as The Greatest Generation Jug pilot. Wow!

OK so just because I haven't been posting on this is not to say that I have been steadily at work! The instructions are really vague on this, but besides that and it being just a tad fiddly, this is actually a really nice kit. Th detail is very high, and as a result the build is slow. Add to...

I like that wood block on the Tiger one. That must have been the weight problem

My wife & I just watched this. Her fist time seeing it in full, had to stop this twice during this scene to laugh! “Whaat is Wove?…..”

Yep good to know about the a/c…looking forward to being there Saturday!

Sad to see it impacting the industry. I’ve ordered successfully several times from Estonia. When minimart is again established I’m sure I’ll order from them

Oh wow that’s neat! Really excellent job!

Had three Uncles that fought in Europe. All are gone now

OK so had to stop early, didn't want to be late to church! Here is a pic of the top of the turret, with my special surgical marking device showing the area that must be removed. At first i was really concerned. I had noticed in a certa FB forum a guy that was trying to scratch-build his own...

Well howdy ever-buddy! Some of y'all may note that I have been working on a Meng Magach kit and really praising that kit for it's incredibly well-engineered detail and instructions. I saw the Hobbyboss and wanted to try it, partly because it comes with great aftermarket items, consisting of a...
