1/72 HMS Andromeda (circa. 1976)
All this talk of floaty things reminded me I have a momento of times long gone; the reverse is scurrilous so no image! It's a great t-shirt and still fits (although SWMBO won't let me out of the house wearing it!) Steve- Airborne01

Airborne's D-Day Para bust 1/9 Mitches models.
Been away in Andalusia with the outlaws for a fortnight and been unable to access the forum because the two-part verification code refused to appear (constantly); however I've made some progress on the bust and base. It's about 90% finished and, as always, I can see areas for improvement -...- Airborne01

Airborne's Tamiya 155mm GMC
Seeing Jakko's upcoming build I remembered I had this tucked away on the Shelf of Doom and was prompted to complete it. A diorama base was in preparation but there will be no progress for a while as I need to finish the Para Officer for the D-Day GB, and we go on holiday tomorrow followed by...- Airborne01

Airborne's D-Day Para bust 1/9 Mitches models.
Been very busy of late (but not in the Pleasure Dome!), however have managed the initial paint on the face - the face-veil is just blocked in - I've gone for an exhausted look due to the bags under his eyes and hopefully the remainder of the paint will reflect this. Constructive criticism...- Airborne01

Airborne's D-Day Para bust 1/9 Mitches models.
Well, the Bergepanzer is over and forgotten and now a start on the 1/9 Mitch's Models D-Day Para Officer bust! The model has only three parts; the bust itself, the chin cup and the strap that secures the chin cup. In terms of moulding the detail and personification is superb with only a couple...- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/35 Takom Bergepanzer 2A2
Weeell, I think this is finished, fertig, sorted etc, etc! Couple of minor hitches but I think it will hide nicely on the book shelf! Not 100% satisfied but it'll do I suppose. No comparisons with Scottie's masterpiece please, Anyway, here it is... Steve- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/35 Takom Bergepanzer 2A2
Tracks assembled (surprisingly easy and restful!), initial paint work complete and tracks fitted, spade assembled and fitted and jib assembled. The jib needs the physical dexterity of a three-armed brain surgeon but eventually concedes! The cable diagram is unclear and the end fixing is...- Airborne01

Airborne's 1/35 Takom Bergepanzer 2A2
Dipping in and out as Outlaws were here until Wednesday last; cleaned all the track components (200 links with four mould scars, 200 guide horns with two scars each and 400 end caps :face-with-thermometer:) and made progress on the jib, initial paint job on the superstructure which will be...- Airborne01

Airborne's a Happy Bunny!
Must have been a good boy whilst the in-laws were in residence! Kate bought me these! The Ontos is self-explanatory but the other is going to be 'challenging' I reckon! It's a late war Wehrmacht motorcyclist - it will be my first 3D printed model - detail is excellent, looks very fragile - no...- Airborne01

NATO three-colour camouflage
Has anybody experience of painting NATO three-colour cam and if so, what colours did you use? Despite searching the Internet I'm none the wiser as nobody seems to agree - I prefer enamels but if necessary I will reluctantly buy a proprietary set of acrylics. I'd appreciate your opinions, thanks...- Airborne01

Choices, Choices!
Currently working on a small base for my completed Tamiya 155mm M40 SPG and, as a diversion, built the Tamiya SdKfz 222; moulds date from the '70s but overall it's a 'Shake & Bake ' kit producing a very reasonable diorama stuffer! Need something a little more challenging now so SWMBO has...- Airborne01

Can anybody supply,or point me in the right direction, for good, concise information/photos on Kfz 70 radio van interiors?
