    Roden 1/35 1920 Rolls Royce Armoured Car

    Adding the Turret and Machine gun this again will illustrate the amount of filler that was required as the turret also didn’t fit properly and I had to cut one of the lugs off at the bottom of it to actually get it to fit into the ring cause the ring was too small for the turret to accept Up to...

    Roden 1/35 1920 Rolls Royce Armoured Car

    Next we fit the wheels and start the bodywork and this is where we run into major problems because the bodywork will not go together without loads of gaps which needed filling that’s all the white areas you can see and it was also looks like it was too short cause I had to put an extension piece...

    Roden 1/35 1920 Rolls Royce Armoured Car

    Right apologies for the severe lack of updates. This has been due to illness and the temperature going through the 30° making modelling impossible as the glue and paint were drying before they were getting into the model so I’ve had to wait for it to cool down a bit. Next step we continue the...

    Roden 1/35 1920 Rolls Royce Armoured Car

    Usually Tamiya Cement will penetrate through the paint and secure the part if it doesn’t then I’ll just scrape away the paint where they’re going to be glued

    Gecko Models 1/35 Cruiser Tank A10 Mk 1A CS

    Final painting and assembly of the tank Here is my finished version I chose the desert version, hence the two tyres hanging from the turret My disappointment with this kit continued as several of the decals disintegrated which meant a compromise on some of the emblems on the turret but...

    Gecko Models 1/35 Cruiser Tank A10 Mk 1A CS

    So firstly turret construction this needed clamping as it would not hold together properly but it came out right in the end had to use a load of filler again as they were gaps everywhere. I don’t know what other people are opinions are of gecko models but my first impression is not good. They...
