Nice camo patterning, air brushes do a nice job of it. I have a brand new one {gifted} Testors, really nice it is but can't get myself to try it out {old dog you know} figure by the time I get good at it with all that mixing, cleaning, special paints and all I'll be to tired to do any modeling ops: think I'll just plug along with the hairy sticks and the cheapie paints, the haven't let me down so far, but anyway brilliant work thus far ...........Jim

Thanks Jim, but never say never - there's older people learning those new tricks all the time


Really it doesn't take too long to airbrush, even with the preparation & cleaning. There's really no need to break the AB down after each use - a good flush is fine with a proper clean once a week IMHO.

Sorry Patrick I'm still fairly new to this forum lark I take it that's frowned upon


Finding it hard to find any decent reviews of that particular model and don't know how to contact someone direct.


Anyhow your tiger is looking real nice great work on the camo pal!


Nazis - not nice but I loved there camo patterns... Can I say that?

Ha-ha don't worry mate, it was only tongue in cheek!


If you have a question for a particular member, click on their name in a post & you can send them a private message - it'll say ' start a conversation '.


And yep, I reckon that's ok! Admiring certain aspects of the German war machine doesn't mean you believe in the twisted ideas of the leaders.

Hot from my workbench!


Done the tracks, not keen on DS ones, being a committed individual link man, but I guess they're easier to do

Give me the old rubber bands any day, most are well detailed and always in proper alignment. Have conquered the track sag problems so who needs all that tedium. sometimes I look in the stash for a new project and see those indy tracks and say, oh brother! and move on to an older kit. When I did my "Hunting Tiger" DML- each link had four pieces each! ops: I put it off for a long time but wanted to build it so bad I had to relent. Even now the "Super Pershing" kit I'm doing has indy inks and I was bogged down for quite a while with them. Each one had to be meticulously cleaned or they wouldn't fit together! Almost takes the fun out of it Maybe they should make after market rubber bands for the kits with indy links! ............Jim
