After the FW190 build for the Group Build, I decided that I would give aircraft a break and get on with some armour/vehicles as a change. Also, as I had started my Japanese WWII Aircraft carrier, I though it would be a great opportunity to get on with that to, there is lots to do on that one I can tell you.
Also, I have not been totally idle since 'Green 3' was put to bed. I have been building my smallest, trickiest and possibly mind damaging kit to date. A kit I picked up at Hinckley, Dave didn't try to talk me out of it which I think he should have done but there ya go.....
Anyway, pictures to come soon but I have nearly finished a 1:35 MiniArts Harley Davidson WWII American Military Police bike. It has a lot of photo etch that you have to use, no plastic alternatives but is a simply fine well detailed model. Trouble is, it is too fine, delicate and small. At only two and a half inches in length yet holding 108 parts! More on that later.
So, deciding to get on with some of my growing stash of armour, I did the most useful thing and visited John's shop (great service John) where he shamelessly flaunted two kits in front of my aircraft weary eyes so that I just had to get them.
First one, fairly straightforward for me other than I have never done a single dark blue paint job before. Stopping it looking like a blue brick may be tricky.
The second is way out for me. never built a helicopter in my life but again, it was just irresistible.
So, the dilemma? Which one first or both at the same time????
