First time using AK resin water 💧

Mr James
Beautiful modelling. Love the tree. The figures are expertly done and the T34 has wonderful details. What a great dio scene. Top drawer 🙂

Gary Curling
Thank you Mr James,hows your tiger diorama going?

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice dio! I really like it!!

Gary Curling
Many thanks Simon,wish i could do better photos.

Simon Nagorsnik

Haha 😁 Don't worry, they're not that bad 😉
I still do mine with my smartphone...😅
However, good result, nice scene👍

James C
Very nice work 👍

gorby
Excellent dio! The tree is particularly natural looking.

Neuling
Dynamic scene with very good terrain and water. - Caution: kneeling on top of the turret I would not dare to throw in a hand grenade through the open hatch ...........

Mr James
Hi Gary. My winter dio was a disaster. I used plaster of paris after watching a video and it turned out a sloppy mess. Thinking of using clay over polystyrene? What do you use?

Gary Curling
Many thanks Gorby and Neuling,yes I through it would be dangerous to throw a grenade in the open hatch and was in two minds to place him there ,could be a warning for the rest of the crew to get out?

Neuling
Clever idea Gary! A very compelling warning no one inside can deny 🙂

Robert H.

I have this very kit and am planning to build it soon! How did you get such fine painting on the instrument panel? It looks amazing!

KyMustang
Thanks Rando. I dry-brushed dark grey and white on the instrument faces and then picked out some buttons and placards with a very fine brush. Dry-brushing highlighted some areas that I didn't want highlighted so I came back with some flat black and repainted the "rim" around the flight instruments.

Each of the dials will get a drop of clear later. Check out my album on the Revell P-51D for another panel if you're interested.

Rando
Great to hear about how you did this, and I definitely will!

Rando
Very nice! I think you have the right idea of not attaching the seat yet since it's so flimsy…maybe I'll carefully remove mine. How did fitting that radio part work out for you? Did it go in like we discussed?

KyMustang
Thanks. Yeah it'll go in later along with the rollover bar. Also gives me time to scratch seatbelts.

The rear radio rack went perfectly above and behind the main rack. It fits under the horizontal "stringer" aft of the main radio deck.

Desert Marlin
Your struggle seems to be coming along in excellent fashion!!!! Keep it up! 👍

KyMustang
Thanks for the encouragement. I have four more of these Allison birds in the stash and this is the variant I like the least….so on the upside, I'm learning a lot for the others! 😂

Desert Marlin
True model building!!!

Rando
Nice smooth finish you got with the primer there. Gonna be a nice paint job!

KyMustang
Thanks! Looking forward to getting some paint down. Though I think Mr. Surfacer deserves more credit for the primer finish than Mr. KyMustang!

Desert Marlin
Mr. Surfacer works really well! I like using the PostIt Notes for making...

Pepe
Nice job!!!!!..... Looking

Great start. Following with interest. A pretty good kit for the time with one of Airfix's best box arts too IMHO. RIP Roy Cross.
