Tamiya 1/48 F16C Aggressor
I made a small start on this last night with the cockpit. Nothing fancy, just painted the tub and glued on some PE.- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya 1/48 F16C Aggressor
Morning guys, I pulled this one out of the stash yesterday. I've acquired quite a lot of aftermarket parts so this is going to be a slow and steady build. :) The current plan is to build it wheels up and in flight, but I may change my mind yet.- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 11C Achilles 1/35
Hi Guys, Finished this one up today. Unfortunately I lost my mojo a bit toward the end due to a nasty bug I picked up, so I've decided not to build a base for it just yet.- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Cheers guys. :) I've been laid low by a nasty bug for a few days (not C19 thankfully) so not much has been done. I did manage to get a pin wash down and some more localised streaking, but I've tried to keep this subtle so as not to overpower the overall effect. It's now been matt coated so I'm...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Morning guys, I hope everyone is well and staying sane during the lockdown. :) I started the weathering yesterday. The box art shows heaving chipping along the sharp edges. I'm not sure how true to life this is but I like the look so have followed suit. This was then followed up with some dot...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Good morning all. :) I finished the figures last night, in retrospect I think I should have used a lighter wash. Overall I'm happy with my attempt, I think they should look OK sitting in the Achilles.- Mr Bowcat

Decal solutions
Morning guys, For the last couple of years I have been using Microl Sol & Set for decals and have been happy with them. However recently I've had issues with Tamiya decals not settling down with these solutions. It could be because they are old, I don't know if maybe they go off? I was...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Cheers Andy, admittedly I was using extra thin so maybe next time I will use the regular and see how it gets on. :) I started on the figures this weekend. Heads are done, I still struggle with these but I think I'm getting better. They should look OK from a distance anyway. :tears-of-joy...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Morning guys. :) I got the decals on (all 4 of them) and will give them a coat of gloss tonight. I also unmasked the top of the turret and added the last few straps and handles. Almost time to start the weathering.- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Good morning all. :) I got the top coats down this weekend. At this stage I always wonder if I have put enough down as it still looks a little patchy, but usually after filters, washes and weathering it tends to all tie together. I will have another look tonight but I think I'm happy where it...- Mr Bowcat

Need help with WW2 British Tank Crew uniform colour
Morning guys. :) I'm in a quandary, I'm building the Tamiya Achilles (which technically is artillery) which comes with a very nice set of figures. The instructions call out for XF-60 Dark Yellow for the uniforms. However, looking at the Tamiya web page for this kit, the picture of the figures...- Mr Bowcat

I didn't get very far last night as I had to work late, but did manage to get the tools, bed rolls and MG painted up. :)- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Morning Guys. :) I have had very little time at the bench since my last update, so not a huge amount has been done. Basically I got all the remaining odds and sods off the sprue's and cleaned up. The turret was then masked top and bottoms and everything primed with Mr Surfacer 1500. As this...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Afternoon all. :) I pushed on again this weekend and got the turret interior finished. The shells were quite tricky and involved some delicate masking, but I'm mostly pleased with how they came out.- Mr Bowcat

Vallejo Model Air metallics
Hi guys, I found a bottle of Model Air brass in my paint drawer, I think I bought it to do the bolt heads on the inside of a Bradley a couple of years ago. I want to try airbrushing it but never used this brand for spraying before. What do I need to know regarding thinning it to airbrush...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Good morning chaps. :) I got quite a lot done this weekend. First up was weathering the interior of the hull which was done with a wash of starship filth and some pigments. Then I got the shells/racks painted up and installed. I decided to use AK True Metal for the brass which turned into a bit...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Cheer gents. :) Paul, Bob & Steve, good to have you along Alistair, thanks for the pics. The shells in the turret look amazing, are they painted plastic or actual brass? Alan, in Alistair's defence he did ask about posting the pics and I asked him to do so. From what I have seen of his work...- Mr Bowcat

Tamiya M10 IIC Achilles
Hi Guys, I decided to break one of my Chrimbo pressies out of the stash over the weekend, I've been looking forward to this one. The US provided M10's to the British army during WW2 on the lend lease program. The British, finding the 3" gun rather puny up-gunned them with the fearsome 17...- Mr Bowcat

Hobbyboss Finnish T-50 1/35
Hi Guys, I just finished building this for a GB on another forum so thought I would share some pics. There was only ever one T-50 in Finnish service (R-110 "Niki"), captured in 1941 at Äänislinna/Petrozavodskand and used until 25th June 1944 at which point it broke down and was returned to the...- Mr Bowcat
