Beautifully executed cockpit.

Thanks all, it's a 3d Decal set, so I can't take much credit. Used some spare decals on the pilot's helmets to add a bit of colour there though.

Hi All

Well out of my comfort zone with what's on the bench right now; I usually model German half tracks.
This is my 3rd ever tank, Panther G from RFM; it's OK, but a bit 'over-engineered' for my liking!!
I'm thoroughly enjoying painting Gen. Melchett though, who I picked up at Telford last year at a bargain!

just started on a new truck build progress so far

Building the Maultier Ambulance has been a good mojo boost lately. Quite hard to be 'realistic' without being too morbid. Aim to make a little diorama for this one. I was planning snow, but none of the figures I have are in winter gear.

C&C welcome.

now that I like a lot.

This is looking very very good. German ambos were often white in the west as the allies generally didn't target them, no matter the season.

I'm going to go for three tone, but will have some big old red crosses on. The snow idea was more for the weathering and base, as I've never attempted snow before.

Some more mess being added a little at a time. First casualty taking shape.

I am currently building the Airfix 1/8 Honda 750 Four (09300-4) which was a re-boxing of the MPC kit, available from 1974 to 1980. My younger brother, Tony, bought one of these but as he wasn't a regular modelmaker, he needed my help to complete it, along with a few other models. Fast forward 50 years, and I have bought the same boxing, which I started six weeks ago.

This is being built as a tribute to Tony who passed away some weeks ago. I attended his funeral last Wednesday down in England and now I am back home in Scotland, I hope to get it finished quite soon.

I stripped off the "chrome" effect and have repainted it with various Alclad 2 and A-Stand laquers:


The petrol tank still needs finishing before it can be fitted properly but I couldn't resist:


I also bought an Airfix Junkers Ju88 which I also helped Tony to finish in the Seventies, but I have to say, it is not proving to be as nice a build as the Honda.
