I really like the OD colour scheme on the tank.

Neuling
Top notch! Tank and tankers. Everything just fine!

Robert H.

Rui S
Great paint job & weathering 👍

Robert H.
thanks Rui

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice M3, that's good work👍
Also nice weathering!

Robert H.
thank you Simon

Chris Derksen
Such a nice looking tank. Just a perfect amount of color modulation and wear on it. How do you do your chipping?

Robert H.
thanks Chris 👍🏻 simple sponge chipping, as always

Juergen Klinglhuber
Looking forward to visit "Airpower24" tomorrow. This reminded me that I have taken some pictures the last weeks that did not yet find the way into the album. So here we go.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Little progress on this one.

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Stefan Fraundorfer
I'm in Jürgen and will follow with interest.

Ekki
And me!

Łukasz Gliński
Joining the party

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hello everyone - thanks for your intereest. I must admit that this is not a very exiting build, but thanks for yor interest - will to the painting this weekend and I just checked the decal sheet,....uuuii, there are plenty tiny stickers to be placed.

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your likes mates,..I can report a little progress

Bas Tonn
can't wait for the final result

★ Starfish ★
Super Arbeit soweit! der Airpower19 Eurofighter ist nicht ganz so spannend wie die letzten beiden "Tiger" aber trotzdem nice to have 🙂

Skyhiker
I had trouble with the front landing gear on this kit breaking. I don't know if was just a fluke or if the mold is too thin. It may need reinforcement.

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Bas Tonn -welcome & I will do my best to finish it soon. 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Starfish -thx for your comment. I have the Nato Tiger from '22 on the bench as well. Eurofighter Typhoon - "Austrian Tigers" 7L*WC | Album by jott (1:72)
And you are right - the more colourful livery is way more interessting (application of decals 🙂 - but also to look at it when done). I will up-date the other Album soon.

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Skyhiker
I am building 2 of those revel kits in parallel - both front landing gears broke already right after taking it from the sprue.... so thx for your advice, I hope other mates receive this info to take precaution.

Raphael Bernecole
Very nice work 😉

Harry Eder
Nice job Juergen! 👍 I'm looking forward to see your Eurofighters live at Euromodell Ried!

Alec K
Late to the party but… looks great 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hallo Raphael, Harry & Alec - welcome and thx for leaving your comments. @Harry - I guess the 2 Typhoons will be ready just in time. Looking forward to meet you there.

Juergen Klinglhuber
So far so good - final pictures soon after the model show in Ried this coming week end.

★ Starfish ★
Super 👍

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Not sure which one I like more 👍

Harry Eder
Great job (on both)! 👍 I'm looking forward to see them live on saturday! 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Starfish, Guy and Lukasz. Thx Harry - see you tomorrow.

Alec K
Well done, have fun at the show 👍

bughunter
Great looking model - and finished just in time for the show 👍 See you tomorrow!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Alec.
Danke Bughunter. Man sieht sich,.... 🙂

John Thomas
Nice work

Ekki
Beautiful result!

Juergen Klinglhuber
I am pleased to hear you like it John & Ekki - thx

Juergen Klinglhuber
Finished. Thx for your interest.

Neuling
Top work. Looks like a bigger scale kit.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thx Neuling for leaving a comment.
Guys - thx for your likes!

Alex
Schön geworden! Die wichtigste Frage - welche Farbe für den Rumpf (und die Nase?) Sieht stimmig aus!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hallo - -Danke für dein nettes Kommentar.
Hinsichtlich Farbe: Radom FS36314 & Rumpf FS36231. Hab das Radom nicht ganz getroffen (scheint mir etwas zu hell).
Habe Mr. Hobby/Gunze Farben verwendet, weis nicht mehr welche exakt das waren - werde nochmal nachschauen und mich melden.

Bozzer
I've always been curious about Jamie's tires. Are they soft like Italeri or hard like AMT?

Tim Powell
They're soft

Bozzer
Excellent mate, thanks. I'll have to have a chat with him and place an order.

Tim Powell
If you do place an order, be advised he takes a very long time to fulfill orders and his email response is practically non existent. I placed mine in June and just received mine and even asking for updates, he rarely responds. I'm not saying don't buy as his tires are nice. Just don't expect fast service.

shadowlight
We will see about the response time. Have send him some questions today concerning a future project.

Bozzer
I've always heard that he's a busy guy, and he's doing it all by himself. If his stuff is top notch, I don't mind waiting. It took nearly 2 months to get decals, from a very well known guy in the States, but they were worth the wait. It just shows exactly, how much these guys are in demand, because of the quality they produce. From what I saw of your tires, I can understand why he's busy. Those Budd wheels look awesome too. I've also seen some of the motors he makes, and those were awesome. It's definitely an exciting time, to be a truck builder.

Miguel Vaquero
Probably, my most ambitous project yet. Im going to try and recreate a sinking of a submarine with depth charges, droped from a destroyer. Everything in 1/700 scale. For this, i bought the Battle of the Atlantic set, wich comes with a J-Claas destroyer, a type VII German submarine and a Short Sunderland amphibous plane.

gorby
Sounds like an interesting project, I'll tag along. 🙂

David Taylor
Yuup.

Jay Dubya
Permission to come aboard Captain Vaquero?

Landlubber Mike
Looking forward to following this one!

Miguel Vaquero
Welcome aboard guys!! Happy to have you along.

Of course Jay! There's always room in my ships😁😁

Miguel Vaquero
Sub already done! It was small but detailed. The PE parts were really a challenge. Some weathering it's all it's left.

Miguel Vaquero
Today i wanted to work on how i want my diorama to look. So i hoped on blender and downloded some free assets and placed them together to see how i want it to look. I think for the quantity of resin and the accuracy of the scene this is going to be more or less the final desing of my diorama.

Miguel Vaquero
Starting with the destroyer. Awesome detail too but a million tiny parts. Good challenge for sure

Miguel Vaquero
Destroyer assembly done! To the paint booth

Jay Dubya
RAAF 10 Squadron Flying Porcupine next please, Miguel ?!!?

Miguel Vaquero
Hey Jay! I've never heard of them. Could you indicate me to some references and I fo about them?

Kesa Tiho
I am in love
Fantastic build

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Kesa!!

Miguel Vaquero
I don't know if I'm going to finish the Sunderland😞😞. The fitting between the fuselages is too bad and fragile, using putty is not going to do the trick this time cause it will hide a lot of the nice detail and I will not be satisfied. I'll think about how to do it but there's not much hope now😓

Miguel Vaquero
To get my mind of the plane. I decided to destroy the sub.it turned out perfect, as I intended

Jay Dubya
Not really where you are headed with your diorama, but this might give a bit of context to my 'historical' comment Miguel.

"A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Sunderland (of No. 10 Squadron) made the type's first unassisted kill of a U-boat on 17 July 1940.[3]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland

Flying Porcupine
"Two examples, in particular, stand out: on the 13th of April 1940, a Sunderland operating off the coast of Norway was attacked by six Ju-88C heavy fighters – the Sunderland shot down one JU-88, damaged another so seriously it had to quit the fight, and drove the rest away.

A 1943 encounter with JU-88 was even more savage when a Sunderland from 461 Sqn RAAF was attacked by eight JU-88C long-range fighters. Despite the Sunderland being heavily damaged with most of the crew wounded, the Sunderland downed three attackers, damaged and drove off the rest and made the 560-kilometre return journey to Britain where the heavily damaged aircraft was beached at Cornwall."

Keep up the great work on these tiny models.
Cheers

PS The nickname 'Flying Porcupine' was probably just a bit of allied propaganda as there's not a lot of evidence the Germans ever referred to a Sunderland as one. It's a lot like the Japanese with the Beaufighter and Whispering Death.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks for all the info Jay! I really appreciate it. And they could fit very well with this diorama. They actually performed anti submarine operations from GB and they actually sunk 6 U-boats.

I'm sure if I'm able to fix my Sunderland, I'll paint it with their colours. I loved their history

Miguel Vaquero
The U-Boat has exploded!!💥💥

gorby
The explosion effect is very realistic.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Gorby!!

Miguel Vaquero
I've already glued the U-Boat to the acrylic sheet. As the background for the diorama states that the aft reserve torpedo exploded, to hide the cables I made some bubbles coming down from the exploded compartment. It's not the best but it's better than to have some cables seen.

Miguel Vaquero
The acrylic sheets mold is done. The ship is now lifted with nylon cord to place on to the resin without sinking. And the u-Boat is secured in the container.

Next step, the resin pouring. I've never been so nervous about a model.

gorby
Good luck with the resin Miguel.

Miguel Vaquero
Some bubbles formed. Not the best result, also they are positioned in places where some bubbles would be formed. Overall I think it turned out great.

Jay Dubya
Absolutely 'killed it' - well done Miguel!

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Jay!

That bubble on the bow is killing me. It's right on the surface of the resin but I don't know how to get rid of it, and if I'll make it worse if I try something
