Great Dio 👍

Thomas Faber
Thx! 🙂

Neuling
I can only repeat: Great dio!

This is the first time for me to tackle a complete resin kit. And when I look at the individual parts, it will be a real challenge. There is an extreme amount of rework needed on each part. Hope I can get it to work.

Finn
Best of luck, it will be interesting to follow

Michael Kohl
I am in too

Robert Podkoński
I will watch with pleasure and interest too.

A 3D-printed PZL Dromader???!!! Following for sure!! (The Grand Models cast-resin kit is perhaps above my skills - and I still wait for the Karaya injection one...). Your ag-aircraft & ground equipment dio will turn... monumental! 👍

Marcel Klemmer
Very interesting project👍 I am in

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress on an unusual subject.

Chris T. An
Thank you all for watching. Alex, I also saw the Grand Models kit for the M18, but I was frightened from some build reviews, there is a lot of rework to do on that kits. I have now the same or a bit more work, but I got the 3D file for free from Thingiverse.

I am really not a Pro in sratch building but I will try to engrave some panel lines and add some more greeblies to the plane. The 3D file is very poor in details.

Alex K
Nice progress! 👍

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic Dromader! (I wish I had one... I have no access to 3d printing, alas...😭 )

Chris T. An
Robert, you can have a look to the Grand Models resin kits. I am much more disappointed that there is no kit in 1:72 and no 3D file of a PZL 106 Kruk. I would spend some money on that because it would fit perfect to the Dromader and Cmelák.

Robert Podkoński
Actually, that is something that makes me angry too - I would love to see (and buy) decent kits of "Wilga" and "Kruk" (not mentioning PZL M-15 "Belphegor" 😉 )... but apparently no Polish manufacturers are interested in preparing these.

Alex K
Guys... let's look a bit at the bright side: who would have thought a few years ago that one day (today!) there would be kits of the Cmelak, the Dromader, the Grumman AgCat (in both 1:72 & 1:48!!!), the Piper Pawnee?! Some are short-run, some are cast-resin, some are 3D-files-to print - nevertheless, something is slowly moving towards that direction! So, yes, I do hope too there will be someday a Kruk available in 1:72 or a Belphegor! And your buys of such kits and your modelling work proves that there's some interest in such topics! Keep it up! 👍

Robert Podkoński
You're right, Alex 🙂 "Always look on the bright side of life..." 😉

Robert Podkoński
I am afraid there is a spelling error on the decals, Chris... I see "Dromedar" instead of "Dromader"... The plane looks awesome!

Chris T. An
Robert, I can understand that it is confusing, but in the GDR, "Dromedar" was actually used. This is the German translation of the word. Feel free to search for pictures of it, here would be an example: [img1]

Robert Podkoński
I have not known about that, sorry Chris... That's really interesting.

Alex K
Nice trivia... and as Robert said: it looks awesome!

Bernhard Schrock
Dromader: An outstanding result from such a simple kit!

Neuling
Everything top notch here! But what about the excavator? May a combined diorama?

Treehugger
What are the two beams on top good for? To flip the tank back on the right side if it flips upside down?

Jennifer Franklin
So people can still get out if it does get flipped?

James C
I believe they were used as cranes to lift off the side sponsons to switch them out and allow better internal access for servicing etc.

bearfly
It's weird the images get flipped when I upload from iPad. I re-uploaded from PC.

bearfly
@James You are right.

gorby
WOW fantastic work!

Neuling
This diorama is still better than the very good "female". Congrats!

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Dimitris Z
Thank you mate!Doing my best but i am not sure yet if i use brush or airbrush....This one will go slow cause of work....

Bruce Huxtable
Wow! Superb!

gorby
Another stunner!

Guy Rump
Excellent build and dio, figures are great. 👍

Neuling
I agree. 👍

Guy Rump
impressive build. 👍

Neuling
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum .......... and it is very well done

Kyle DeHart
Forgot to start a build log on this one. It is a really excellent kit. My chassis pan was warped a little bit but I think I got it rolled back straight enough it'll be fine. Other than that the details are really nice and the engineering is excellent.

Building the gold 3rd place car prepped by Holman and Moody for Dick Hutcherson and Ronnie Bucknum. They were several laps down at the end but lined up with the cars of Miles and McLaren for the iconic 1-2-3 photo. I've always loved how the gold car looks.

George Williams
Nice work.

Kyle DeHart
Thank you George! It's coming along.

Kyle DeHart
And this one is complete! I greatly enjoyed this kit. Great modern tooling And it was a joy to build.

Guy Rump
Lovely build! 👍

Neuling
Indeed. Very good choice and application of color!

Rui S
Very Nice work great weathering on the exhaust👍

John
Nice job on this classic kit.

Guy Rump
Very nice build. 👍

Neuling
Very good work on this oldie. Modelling skill is definitely decisive.
