Mr James
One of my favourites ww2 aircraft. A nice clean build

Skyhiker
Dave really nice job. Which kit is this? Please attach the kit to the project.

On a rainy and humid day, Jack was depending his life or death on a tiny landing craft on the ocean making its way to the enemy's shore. The thunders and the strong waves made him and other soldiers cramped in the narrow space anxious and nauseous. What if the vehicle just gets flipped by the waves? What if it gets spotted by the enemies while they're on water and can't run to anywhere? Jack could tell his fellow comrades were feeling this way by looking at their eyes. But not Jack. He was somebody who never let fear control his action and psychology. His pupils were filled with combinations of energy, rage and hatred instead of horror. Losing his closest buddy to the enemy aircraft bombing in the past, Jack was totally committed to kill as many enemies as possible to avenge. It would be so awesome to make many enemies feel the pain he had to endure with his own hands. At least that's what Jack believed. The shore was now visible. They were almost there. A few bullets from the machine guns hit the metal surface of the vehicle, making loud and sharp noise. Some soldiers fear and Jack's rage only grew.

Jack was ready to fight. He even thought he was ready to die. He was looking directly forward when he heard some noise that was completely unfamiliar. It wasn't the sound from bullets, explosions or engines running. It was something else. The only thing he could tell was that whatever the source is, it was coming from the sky which meant only one thing. Jack tried to ignore the fear which was now settling in his mind and keep looking at the shore. But eventually looked up the sky expecting the sound's source to be friendly artillery or aircrafts. Little did he know he couldn't be more wrong than this. They were Stukas. And they were flying towards the friendly boats.

At the moment Jack found out what they were and that they are coming for him and everyone else, his passionate strength in his eyes started turning into immense shock and awe even he couldn't control just like other soldiers. He had to realize that him and everyone on the craft were now gonna die even before making it to the shore. Sure, he was ready to die but not without killing others. However, the reality was way too harsh to let Jack achieve what he wanted in the war.

Sure enough, everyone heard the loudest gunshot coming from the aircrafts. The Stukas had begun firing. It hit the other boats around before hitting his. Even from dozens of feet away Jack could see the sparkling on the iron and the huge splatters of blood followed by his comrades screaming in agony. Now it was his turn. He stared at the planes looking for more targets then spotting the boat he was in. Tears started coming out of the despair about the fact that this was the end of him just like his buddy and thousands of his country's soldiers who didn't make it. So he didn't even try to hide or stop it. Instead he closed his eyes, hoping there is going to be something better to have in the afterlife if it ever existed.

Wow, that's a true description of how it must've felt being on the receiving end of that aircraft and its mission

Skyhiker, I'm sorry I didn't list the kit. But it is 2002 Academy 1/72 scale kit

Great build! Congrats👍🏻

Skyhiker
That kit looks a lot better than the old Revell kits I have. Can you please attach it to your album.

Guy Rump
Very nice job! 👍

George Williams
That's a sweet car, chain driven no less.

Jennifer Franklin
There is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Jan Peters
Thanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

Neuling
Sehr schön. More pictures please!

Jan Peters
The pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉

Jennifer Franklin
lol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan Peters
More on the S800 on my son's Facebook page: facebook.com/1000634..ely/965621152231173/

Finally made a start on this one.

Since I have a couple of weeks off work, I have picked up the Honda again.

István Szücs
Great work, I love this car!

Welcome Robert 🙂

Meanwhile the body has been painted with a Tamiya rattle can.
Some small dust particles have sneaked into the paint, but nothing serious.

István Szücs
The dashboard looks great!

Ben M
I love these old Hondas. Looking good!

Jan Peters
Thanks mates🙂

Chris Reimann
Very nice progress. Love your attention to the details.

Jan Peters
Thanks Chris🙂

George Williams
It's sure looking good.

Jan Peters
Thanks George 🙂

I'm impressed, so following to see the finished version. Question to @Jan Peters: "Engine bay painted a dirty yellow". Is this some kind of weathering? I'm pretty new and eager to learn

Jan Peters
Thanks 🙂
Yes, the dirtied up yellow is a pre weathering. I like my models dirty, real race cars are never clean

yngvenett
Thanks 👍 do you know if there's a video on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn how to do what you did? It looks very realistic

Michael Kohl
I am in.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Rui S
A Beauty indeed 👍

Christoph Kunz
Watching with interesst.
I've done one landing gear yesterday, very fiddly.

J35J
I'm in. Following👍🏻

Jakub Biganovsky
I am wondering how landing gear subassembly will fit; it will be next step.

Cuajete
Well done so far. Following!

Finn
I'm in

Joining the fun.

The kit looks more "build friendly" than the DH88 Mikromir kit 1:48.
Looking forward to see the final result 👍🏻

Jakub Biganovsky
Yep, Clear props brough realy high level of plastic kits. They are not same level as Tamyia/Eduard or...., but still very high.
Nice fitting and approximate details make a building friendly. Some small part surfaces keep milling prints due to local missing polishing of mould, but still fine.

Michael Kohl
Following closely your progress as I have an eye on this kit. Nice additions you make and valuable experiences you share.
