Tiger II s.H.Pz.Abt 505
Here is the Tamiya 1/48 Tiger II with the excellent resin zimmerit from ATAK Model. I used about half of the Hauler P-E set, and lenses were added to both Hauler and scratch built periscopes. Grab handles and headlight conduit were added [...]
3ft P-51
1:72 Hasagawa P-51 Mk. III. Did this kit to try out low tech techniques. All bush painted. The outside camo was done by painting on multiple coats of thinned acrylics with two wide flat brushes. No extra detailing, PE or resin [...]

Almost ready for paint!
So this will probably be the last pre-paint COD post, still some bits-n-bobs to add, but I am closing in. I added notes to the pictures so I won't describe them all here!
Aircraft Group Build, Anyone?
I enjoy an occasional group build - being forced to build something that wasn't in my current line up of to-build projects. My local club averages 1 group build a year, but thought it would be fun to see if any other aircraft modelers in [...]
Shelby Cobra Jagermeister Racing
Here's a quick build before I go away back to work for the remainder of the month.
Apologies again for defacing another classic. The kit was originally the Fujimi 1/24 of the Shelby 427 S/C Cobra. I threw the instruction book away and went [...]
