What's on the Bench 2024

Thanks guys. I got a few hours at the bench today so the decals are on. ICM provide early & late types (I'm guessing pre & post invasion), so I mixed them up a bit between truck and trailer.

After a bit of grunging up with Citadel shade paints I've sealed everything with a matt coat ready for further work:

No, the builds aren't really connected, it's was just the next on my list.
Besides, I think they are on different sides at the moment 🤔
 
That one brings back memories.Seem to rememember going to Bishops Stortford on train with my brother to buy this one.Think my brother got a Tamiya motocross bike.Loved my Tamiya kits in teens and still do.Watching with interest.

This one is one of the kits a friend gave me because he couldn't model no more due to his age. Sadly he passed away a few days ago (he was 91) and his son told me he wants to see those kits built as a memorial to his dad.
I began with the easiest one, Tamiya M1A2 Iraqi freedom. The other 2 are a Tamya F16 aggressor 1/48 and an ICM CR 42 1/32.
The Abrams is coming together OOB without any issue, so no need for a dedicated thread. Here's one picture.

Since idont have an airbrush at the mo i had to get creative with a rattle can to do the camo on the scurzen

Scurzen is still on the sprue in the pic......i just wanted to see what it looked like

Next step is a clear coat for the decals and then a wash of some sort
