    Tamiya 1/16 RC Panther (resumed after a long hiatus)

    HI Chris The Panther is the full option Panther by Tamiya so it will have all the RC functions that kit has, which are:- A. Full track mobility supplied by 2 motors running the transmission B. Turret rotation and gun elevation C. Main Gun firing, recoil and muzzle flash (not BB firing) D. Bow...

    Tamiya 1/16 RC Panther (resumed after a long hiatus)

    Panther build Part 4 Before I go on I should talk a bit about the research into this project. From the very start I knew I wanted to build a Normandy Panther. This would mean back-dating the Tamiya Late Panther G to the earlier spec. This would also mean the obligatory application of Zimmerit...

    Tamiya 1/16 RC Panther (resumed after a long hiatus)

    Panther build Part 3 What follows is an awful lot of soldering, fiddling with extremely tiny parts and a strain on my old peepers (thank God for magnifiers). First up the gun cleaning rod case... This is simply leagues apart from the kit part... Again all the clasps work and it is possible...

    Tamiya 1/16 RC Panther (resumed after a long hiatus)

    Panther build Part 2 Those who remember this the first time around will note that I've skimmed on some of the build details. That said, If anyone has any questions on any aspect of the build so far I'd be happy to elaborate. Front hatches I'd decided early on that I wanted working hatches at...

    Tamiya 1/16 RC Panther (resumed after a long hiatus)

    Hey everyone Does anyone remember this? If you do you've got some memory! I won't go into too much detail but the reason for the long pause in this build was mainly down to moving house and relocating to my native Yorkshire. Now I'm settled into my new house, with my new studio (a criteria for...

    Eagle Transporter

    Hi Stu I completed the 22” Eagle last year and I used Ford Diamond White. It actually works out a relatively cheap option. I decanted the rattle cans and sprayed it through my airbrush for a little more control but i think the cans will do fine. Here’s my effort - the Rescue Eagle (red striped...

    GB rules

    in light of recent conversation regarding started kits in GBs (which I totally accept). I wonder if it might be worth starting each GB build with sprue shots with proof of date? In that way there's no started kits and no starting before the GB date either. Sprue shots and a copy of today's...

    Image Hosting

    Hi Guys Quick question: Now that Photobucket have started to charge for their site, what is everybody doing regards uploading pics to the site. The obvious thing is to use Scale-Models' own uploader, but does anyone have an alternative? if like me, you'd like one place to post images in a...

    The Battle of Britain Combat Archive series

    Just ordered what looks to be a very good (if pricey) series of books on the BoB. The series builds into 10 volumes (I've ordered the first 4) and each volume covers specific dates with both RAF and Luftwaffe losses and claims, the squadrons involved, profiles etc, etc. I'll review again once...

    Paul's (tricky) Normandy Panthers in 1/35 & 1/16

    Hi Everyone Well, this is my contribution to the 'Panzers' GB 3 Normandy Panthers  I'm building all 3 together because i find it less time consuming. What I mean by this is: any research on the subject can be done in one go, and you are less likely to forget the stuff you're finding...

    And it's goodbye from me...

    Hi all After 7 years on the forum I've decided to concentrate on my own site and builds. I've made some good friends and enjoyed the banter over the years but it's time to do something else. I wish everyone on the forum all the best and continued modelling happiness:) Cheers everyone Paul

    How to Paint Pilots

    I promised a while back that I'd give a 'step-by-step' guide to how I paint figures (specifically pilots). And so, a little belatedly, I'm posting the 'How to...'. This tutorial will not be quick as I'm doing several other things concurrently and I'm slotting this in as and when I can. Anyway...

    Help me make my mind up

    Hi everyone In the past I've never really had much trouble in deciding what to build next. However, lately I'm finding it quite difficult to make a start on anything. My Spitfire marathon is complete now - all 5 are finished and simply need some figures (by-the-way I'll try and include the...

    Normandy in 1/16

    Hi everyone After many, many aircraft builds I'm stepping back into my old stomping ground - WW2 armour. I've still 2 Spitfires to finish (they're almost there) and then I'm going to have a look at some large scale armour builds. Here's the line up:- 1. Tamiya RC full option Panther (with...

    Hi everyone Anyone following my Spitfire builds maybe wondering what has become of them. Well, the diorama is well under way I may post progress pics tomorrow. However, because it's been such a long time since I last posted progress I thought I'd show post a couple of pics of the 'green...

    Blitz bomb sites

    Came across this site and found it really interesting. http://bombsight.org/#15/51.5050/-0.0900 This kind of brings home how terrifying the blitz was. One apparently landed not 200 yds from my house, and I live in Orpington! Anyway, thought it may interest a few on here. :eek: Paul

    Hey everyone Finally got around to starting the 5 (yes five!) Spitfire kits by Revell. I've decided to build 2 dioramas and a Green screen wheels up aircraft to use in composite photography. The first dio will be an earth bound scramble scene containing 2 of the kits with pilots racing to...
