Looks good,what caused it to be banished

 

[errains]

Nothing caused by the kit other then the tracks, they are some of the worst I've had to deal with. Just lost motivation with it. But been thinking of getting it done.

 

[jknaus]

Not a lot lately. Got some tracks built and painted and some tracks half built and worked on the RFM Challenger II a bit.

So who's going to be first to mate the Yamato turret with a tank chassis?

How about as a coastal defense?

 

[jeaton01]

Ha Ha, just but a lot of spring in the mounts, I heard those suckers moved a battleship sideways when they fired broadside.

Matchbox Vickers Wellesley. Matchbox did a better job of capturing the quilted look on this than Trumpeter did on the Wellington, I would say. CMK resin Pegasus. Markings stenciled and painted.

That's an odd looking bird.

 

[jeaton01]

If you think the Wellesley is odd, look at its 1937 contemporary, the Heyford. Built that one in about 1975 when visiting in laws in Abilene, TX. Things were changing fast back then. Heyfords saw some use in WW II as target aircraft testing the Chain Home radar system and as gunnery target tugs. The Wellesley had some use in the Middle East in WW II. Finished the Wellesley today.

 

[Heavens Eagle]

The British did have some strange looking aircraft back when. Your Wellesley turned out quite nice John!

 

[jeaton01]

Thanks, Paul.

The XFV-1 got some Alclad ALC 101 today. Still a few places to work on.

 

[moon puppy]

Slick!

 

[Jeeves]

Done with ICMs BM-13-16 Katyusha...there were definitely fit issues...much prefer a one piece cab to multiple pieces

 

[paddy]

I feel the need to build a lorry Currently working on the M10. By far my best armour build so far , I look at it and think...blimey, did i do that
Just started work on the men so it could all go very wrong even now.

 

[jknaus]

Only a little modeling today. Worked some more on Yamato and painted Challenger turret. Can not find good refs for the range finders but did find pictures showing sliding doors. Used 5 though plastic stock for the doors.
