Besides Martin Mars, there are other projects going on - although 'side project' always sounds so disrespectful. In reality, these are models that really excite me, the kits are excellent, with a few goodies you can add a little more value, and the original machines are a dream anyway!
Just like here: I'll show you 'The White Rocket'! This T-38A Talon was used by the Mercury astronauts as a training device, another interesting story. The kit from Wolfpack is good, but a few etched parts from Eduard in the cockpit and above all the 3D print of the two jets at the rear increase the degree of realism even further.

Looking good Roland!

These five pictures show the latest status: the surfaces, decals included, are finished, now the assembly of the various antennas, sensors, landing gear, airbrakes, pitot tube, canopy.... canopy can begin! So, at least the final is already in sight 🙂

This build has now come to an end: a generally pleasing modelling experience, even if I was a little disappointed with this - for me - first Wolfpack kit: the fit of the parts was wonderful, the detailing was pleasing - for example in the cockpit area and the well-represented complex hinge mechanisms of the two cockpit canopies. But then: the undercarriage, airbrakes, the turbine outlets... it was all rather 'meagre'.... Accordingly, some improvements were needed here: a cockpit interior set from Eduard and an etched parts set that helped to detail the undercarriage and - very helpfully - the airbrakes. The fabulous nozzles from ResKit were also a really good investment! I love the decals and also the decal version from Wolfpack: in the look presented here, this T-38A 'The White Rocket' was flown by Deke Slayton and 'Wally' Shirra in the astronaut training of the Mercury programme - a fact that fascinated me.

Pz.Kpfw.38(t) Ausf. B Hobby Boss Kit - Panzerbefehlswagen 38(t) Command Tanks SdKfz 266 (Fu5 and Fu6 radio sets with two rod aerials or SdKfz 268 (Fu5 and FuG 7 FM radio transceiver). Built to the point of now I must select a specific type. Original wanted to finish it with large frame aerials (SdKfz 267) but can't turn the turret to allow one of engines hatches modeled open to see the details. So the two (SdKfz 266 or 268) both use aerial rods and don't prohibit turning the turret and leaving an engine view.

Starting another tank to go along with a 1940 France time period - Panzer IV Ausf. D - older Tristar kit 35023, so once finished have some German tank figures to go with vehicles

Lovely job! 👍

Oh yes indeed. Lovely mottling spray job and great scratches and wear around the frame.
