Scalemates lists 21 details sets in this scale.

Is that book by Werner Müller, published by Podzun-Pallas-Verlag, Friedberg? (I have a book with the same title, but a different dust jacket.) If so, it’s a really good resource, with lots of in-action photos plus official drawings and photos from manuals. The only better resource on the 8,8 cm FlaK I have is US Army TM E9-369A :smiling3: (But then again, I don’t have an extensive collection on these guns.)

Yes, Jakko that’s the book, a great resource indeed.:thumb2:

Post this morning brought now goodies to Race Towers.
Having seen a Y tube video on painting 1/35 scale figures the presenter was using a Billy Showell brush by Raphael.a 408 no 2 .
Having been impressed with the tip I decided to take a chance, along with some paints that he used .

Billy Showell the lady that paints stunning water colours and her water droplets are amazing.

Had a quick peek inside and the quality looks night & day compared to the BTR-80 I've just finished. Crisp mouldings and lovely detail on the engines and gearbox with the option to have them on display.

A couple of things I picked up at Militracks last week:

Two kits from the sixties and although in German, the book has a nice selection of photos and technical drawings of the guns.:smiling4:

With an upcoming long weekend, got some silicone and resin to have a crack at casting and some more Evergreen to add to the selection:

They also had a new epoxy glue in store, as I was looking for a good one for a while, think it’ll hold resin bits together fine as it’s designed to repair yachts.:smiling:

Fernando I love those old Revell kits I’ve got both of them but not in that box art mine has the USA markings great buy

Certainly John .

I found the guy great and easy to follow John .
The brush I got was basically the same, but one endorsed by BIlly Showell. I couldn't find the brush he'd used but the name and No I put in showed her name on the supplier I found.
HTH's

View attachment 344805 Arrived home from work this evening to find these had arrived. Hope there as good as the reviews I've seen.

Just ordered two of those rust pencils from John. Hope they are as good as everyone is raving about. Just need to find something for grease marks now.

Just had a mad 5 minutes with them Alan.

What’s the difference between these and watercolour pencils or oil pastels?

INSTANT EDIT: I think I answered my own question moments after posting.....most likely the available colours.
