    Gerry's Trumpeter 1/35 Armoured Aerosan

    Well, got a couple of hours at it today, and it's a 'milestone' - first time 'properly' working with PE - it's fiddly! Anyhow, the first 4 gentle bends to match the bodywork. Then the suspension pivots Then all fitted Only one of those suspension bits gave me any problems, and that was the...

    Am I ageing WW2 vehicles too much?

    Ok, so I might be opening a can of worms here, but it's crossed my mind when attacking/weathering kits. Given that WW2 lasted roughly 6 years, in that time a lot of innovation/r&d/upgrades took place, plus attrition on the battlefield/air strikes/partisan activities, just how long would a...

    Gerry's Trumpeter 1/35 Armoured Aerosan

    Well, section 2 of the destructions completed, mind you, if I'd realised the amount that would be hidden, I don't think that I'd have included/painted it Anyway, interior shots Looking like it's going to need a little filler here (did use some on the fuel tank(?) inside, as the seam really was...

    Gerry's Trumpeter 1/35 Armoured Aerosan

    Thanks John, not sure about the rudders on this one (no sign of them) however, working on it, there seems to be some sort of 'torsion bar' which comes out of the body/fusalage in the middle (can see it on the box art) which goes to each ski, then there's what looks like a sprung lever mid way...

    Gerry's Trumpeter 1/35 Armoured Aerosan

    A start has been made, now plucking up the courage to cut my first bit of PE! And the landmark point, not only cut, but filed down and affixed (hopefully the contact adhesive will work after being in the fridge for a few weeks!)

    Gerry's Trumpeter 1/35 Armoured Aerosan

    Weeelll, just had a good look inside the box, it's going to test me, wish me luck! Sprue shots The smaller bags have 2 sprues in each, and there's 2 sprues of PE - mostly for parts that will be in full view (skis, 'turret' and edges). Possibly the carpet monster will be fed quite a bit with...

    Soviet Tank Group Build

    Not knowing what 'group builds' are, and not sure if the one 'armoured russian' that I have would be suitable as it's not tracked? I'll still be watching though.

    First timer

    Here's a couple of his (my youngest sons) 1/35 builds (have to excuse the dust) - half-track tracks are the standard one-piece tamiya plastic ones, and the SPG are the standard tamiya separate links.

    Sorry, not really 'with it'

    Must admit to just popping in and having a quick look around at the moment, modelling (and all hobbies) has taken a bit of a back seat at the moment, as my youngest is in hospital with a collapsed lung - rushed in early hours on Wednesday morning and still hooked up to the suction pump that's...
