by Thomas Probert on January 10, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

This is my first completed build for 2016 - the 1/32nd scale Heinkel He 111 P-1 from Revell. I started this back in the summer of 2015 as a 'pick it up and do a bit as you fancy it' build, and I've been working on it on and off for the [...]

This is one of those treasures you find by an accident while driving around, looking for other things. Time was never right to visit but I managed toget there in the end. Mr Nitschke opened up and explained the layout of the museum, rest [...]

Tamiya 1/48 G4M-1 Betty Bomber

by George Tufnail on January 10, 2016 · in Aviation · 10 ≡

I built this just cause I could. Finish is Commercial Aluminum overall, with MM enamel IJN Green and Brown for topside colours. The chipping is a fortuitous accident from removal of the masking tape. Kit is OOB with the exception of [...]

Dragon 1/35 SU-85M Rebuilt and finished for a friend

by George Tufnail on January 10, 2016 · in Armor · 1 ≡

This kit was given to me to re-build as I saw fit and finish better than the owner felt he was capable. I think it came out fairly well, considering it only took three weeks. I removed all of the road wheels and tracks to facilitate [...]

by George Tufnail on January 10, 2016 · in Armor · 5 ≡

Swap meet discovery and built OOB. Finished with MM Enamel Panzer Grey '39-'43. Weathered with AK Interactive washes and Tamiya Weathering system. A fun exercise in grey and rust. Very long, and awkward to display and transport.
