    Completed within the time frame which is good. Not a bad little kit. Thanks Lee for the GB :D A few more pictures in the completed section. Thanks to all who commented.

    German V3000S truck decals

    Quinta do a set of 3D decals. Mostly interior and intended for the ICM kit but may be worth a look. ​

    Jim R's AT45 Soviet Artillery Tractor. 1/72 scale TP Model,

    Thanks to all your supportive posts this *&^%$£!! of a kit is done. It is not accurate, not very good and the swear box is overflowing. I'll add some light weathering and a matt coat. Thanks again and a happy Christmas to you all.

    Jim R's M4A2 Sherman with T40 rocket launcher. 1/72 UM models

    Well the end is in sight. The hull is just about done. I forgot the decals so I've had to put them on after weathering so they will need "blending in". The rocket launcher is fitted to the turret. No real attachment points so very fiddly. The launcher itself has awkward PE grills front and...

    Jim R's AT45 Soviet Artillery Tractor. 1/72 scale TP Model,

    Well a fair bit of progress. Not the number of problems as with the running gear but still not good. Still looks as rough as a badger's whatsit! I could find no reference pictures of the inside of the cab and as I had already strayed far from an accurate model I made it up. Gave it a coat of...

    Jim R's M4A2 Sherman with T40 rocket launcher. 1/72 UM models

    At last a bit of an update. Well actually quite a lot :D Rear plate fitted. Resulted in an odd step - I don't think it was an error from me. Easily filled anyway. Prepared all the rockets. The instructions said that each rocket had to have a flat sanded top and bottom - strange. They wouldn't...

    Oil Paints?

    I have done just that. Oils dry much quicker in a warm, well lit place. A plastic storage box, a few holes drilled in the top and a low wattage bulb. A sheet of thin plywood on the base. (the black tape is where I cracked the lid by being too heavy handed drilling a hole!! :()

    Jim R's AT45 Soviet Artillery Tractor. 1/72 scale TP Model,

    Gentlemen your patience and encouraging posts have got me here - tracks done :) Bottom and top runs in place. And MRP black primer Far from perfect or accurate but I'm just happy to have got this far.

    Jim R's M4A2 Sherman with T40 rocket launcher. 1/72 UM models

    I have decided I hate link and length tracks!! Especially in 1/72 and with no "click" together. Done now though. Built up the turret. Lifting hooks replaced with wire. Started on the rockets and their launcher.

    Jim R's AT45 Soviet Artillery Tractor. 1/72 scale TP Model,

    Once again I really appreciate your posts - helps me to carry on with this $%£"& of a kit. I now have the idler and the drive wheels fitted, also the adjacent road wheel. Plus a short length of track . Stuck solid , I hope, with two part epoxy and CA. Could be awkward to paint but it had to be...

    Jim R's AT45 Soviet Artillery Tractor. 1/72 scale TP Model,

    Now the bodge/c***-*p The drive and idler wheels were no good. There was just not enough contact area to fasten to the tracks. I tried to soften the track for a better fit around the idler but only succeeded in ruining the wheel!! I scavenged some Sherman wheels, drilled holes, (only 6 not the...

    Jim R's AT45 Soviet Artillery Tractor. 1/72 scale TP Model,

    Thanks for your support. This is the kind of kit that needs positive vibes! Firstly the good progress. After a fair bit of sanding the canvas top fits onto the load bed. The load bed actually has a bit of detail and somewhere I've got some 1/72 crates which I can fit in. It looks as if the...

    Cleaning airbrush

    I find this stuff works very well. Seems to shift anything.

    Missing in Action

    Just wondered if anyone knew why Ron, spanner570, has not been around on the forum? I know he often went "walkabout" in his camper van. He was a stalwart member of the forum and many enjoyed his builds, his wonderful photographs and his banter.

    1/72 scale Luftwaffe and RAF pilots. First 3D stuff I've bought. Came from Beacon Models, a real bargain, £3 each and 85p p&p. Detail looks excellent, way beyond my painting abilities.

    Jim R's AT45 Soviet Artillery Tractor. 1/72 scale TP Model,

    A little bit more progress. I've sorted the wheels as best as I can. The fixing of the road wheels looked very iffy so I inserted short lengths of stiff wire. I cut off the fixing "blobs" and added small pieces of styrene tube to the body and also drilled through the tube into the body to...
