The C-97 must be a fair size even in 1/72 Rick Nice haul

monica, yeppp ... did some research, and also asked around fellow modelers that are using LifeColor in the local club before I made my purchase. Just afraid different airbrush and compressor setup and even the environment may play a part in performance

I see a couple of North Africa dio very soon in my future View attachment 106422

this is the hurricane of hurricanes looks far better than the italieri and comes with bits to do other variants like a sea hurricane and tropical MkIa IMO the tooling for this is better than the spitfire

Look forward to seeing the hurricane.


The M3 and the Crusader are good kits, built them both..

 

[Alan 45]

Thanks for the info on the tanks I was wondering how they would build , on my latest scrutiny the honey has both the standard rubber tracks and separate link tracks I might have a punt at doing the separate tracks as I do have another kit with them ,


The hurricane will feature in a refuling dio either desert or aircraft carrier it depends on figures

 

[Ian M]

Its not a kit. but this is my latest acquisition:

[Ian M]

Hope you do a build thread on the type 45.

 

[rickoshea52]

Some of my latest Oxford Die Cast vehicles for use on dioramas as a quick way to add interest to a scene. All will be detailed or weathered when used as there are no mirrors or little details like tax discs. The Land Rover Defender, of which I have many, will be used to populate an MOD train. I like the little J2 crew bus, tractors and early RAF Land Rover.


The civilian vehicles will be used to populate my 1970/80's layout and with the variety of vehicles that I have I can mix them up to refresh the look and give an impression of movement during a running session.

It does look good built , a guy in our club recommended this not to me, I'm thinking of doing the M3 and the crusader in the same dio as I've got decals for the same regiment in the kits
