Stefee's 1/24 Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC '99
Busy day today, finished prepping and primered all remaining parts. Painted the rims with Tamiya X12 which is pretty close to the real colour in preparation for recalling and clearcoat. Talking of decals, what a pig the large "swoosh" on the side is, body stage line, door handle and panel gap to...- Stefee

Stefee's 1/24 Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC '99
Progress report. All required parts painted Subaru Mica Blue 555 from Proscale paints. Body shell and auxiliary exterior parts took 8 very light coats. Everything in a large box in the airing cupboard for 2/3 days to thoroughly dry before attempting to apply the numerous decals. After that...- Stefee

Stefee's 1/24 Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC '99
Today's progress. Primered body and auxiliary external parts. I warmed the UMP white primer in a mug of hot water placed on a USB powered mug warmer and it did spray better than previous times. Then, using the floorpan as a jig, I deseamed the roll cage parts and tack assembled the unit in...- Stefee

Revell 1/24 Mercedes Benz Actros
Hi all, Well I have finally finished this after 196 hours. A bit of a curates egg this kit, the chassis, suspension, engine, running gear and interior fit together with nary a problem. The problems for me started when assembling the body panels (painted and cleared) around the interior tub, the...- Stefee

Stefee's 1/24 Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC '99
Thanks to Bob for organising this GB which will be my first. My contribution is also a blue moulded kit to join its Blues Brothers already shown. Will be building it OOB except for some seat belt PE and ribbon nicked from another kit - maybe. Going to model it with the full array of auxiliary...- Stefee

Italeri Mercedes Benz Actros 1/24
A quick update. The cab area is all painted (some love the colour some dislike it - I love it) and the bed is done to the best of my abilities. Not 100 % happy with it but once buttoned up its virtually invisible.- Stefee

Calling all members with a 3D printer.
My grateful thanks go out to Neil Merryweather for printing up these colour cup caps for my newly acquired H&S Ultra 2024 airbrush. The red ones fit a treat and the blue ones are a smidgen too tight but that is easily solved. Thanks also to Mr. Bowcat who offered his services should the printed... -
Italeri Mercedes Benz Actros 1/24
Hi all, An update on this build. I did try to get a picture of the body panels in black base coat but was unable to get a decent image. After 3 coats of S.M.S. Abyss colour shift paint, affixing some tricky chrome decals I applied 2 coats of Proscale paints 2k clear. Not all together happy with...- Stefee

Calling all members with a 3D printer.
I hope that this request does not contravene any forum rules, if so can a moderator delete and let me know? I have bought a H&S Ultra 2024 airbrush from the shop and, in their infinite wisdom, no colour cup cap is provided and none are being made. So I was wondering if any of you are able to... -
Italeri Mercedes Benz Actros 1/24
Hi all, A slight difference to my normal car builds. A demanding and complex build with 150 parts alone in the rolling chassis - excluding wheels and tyres which are dry fitted. The detail levels are sky high and, so far, no real fitment issues. Given the chassis and mechanical parts are very...- Stefee

Lift off for Revell 1/1444 Saturn V
Hi all, Finally finished this beast ( except for satin varnish after the decals have fully settled ). This is a factually incorrect kit with a lack of any internal detail so I added quite a bit of detail based on photos but in no way does this purport to be any official Apollo launch vehicle...- Stefee
