Thanks for that Ben hahahaha.

Ben M
All I can say is, I understand. I recently did a bunch of yellow.

Turning into a right slog, sticking at it though, the vehicle build finish is in sight now...

Ben M
Good looking slog 👍

Very nice, more pictures please!

Mr James
Agree with Feliix

Does anybody know if there is a webshop in the European Union where separate Asuka sprues can be ordered?

Finished assembling the bogies. Always nice to have 6 bogies assembled considering the amount of parts per bogie.

M4A1
Added the bogies and put the both hull parts together. It's dry fit. But it shows that this Firefly is coming together nicely.

M4A1
Working on the base of this project. The Sherman is ready to be painted.

M4A1
The Firefly had it's coat of black primer.

Ben M
Looks great so far!

M4A1
Thanks Ben!

M4A1
The Firefly has got it's base color. It's Tamiya olive green made lighter with Tamiya lemon yellow. When I'm done wheatering the tank will have a darker tone. I've started with chipping before adding washes and drybrushes. This time I've used chipping medium of Vallejo. It's the first time I'm using it. The Sherman got 2 layers of grey, dark and light, and the olive green color. After each grey layer I applied a layer of chipping medium. In the tutorial I've watched it looked pretty easy, in reality I found it quite challenging. On some spots more green paint came off then intended. Clearly I need to find my way with this technique.

M4A1
Started painting the details and adding decals. Always brings a model to life.

M4A1
Gave the Sherman a wash to make it darker.

Robert Podkoński
Wow!

Dave Burgess
Yeah, it turned out pretty nice!

Dave
Really nice work. Looks amazing.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work on this iconic subject.

Ben M
I like your sci-fi models.

Dave Burgess
Thx, Ben. They're labours of love for me. I have a passion for aircraft and Formula One, but the models I have the most fun with, are the SF models. The lighting projects are always a challenge. I'm just finishing up my aircraft stash, and then there's a whole BUNCH of SF kits still to build!

Vincent
Very nice. Great work on the lights!

Mr James
Very impressive

Mr James
Impressive detail and wonderful weathering

Nathan Dempsey
There's another classic kit. Looking good so far. I'm following 👀

Clifford Keesler
Welcome Nathan.

Clifford Keesler
This one has the wing tips and vertical fin painted and is all primed.

Desert Marlin
Looking good!

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Desert Marlin.

Clifford Keesler
Decals finished and final clear coat applied. Next weathering. Pictures tomorrow hopefully.

Nathan Dempsey
Looking forward to those pics.

Clifford Keesler
Thank's Nathan, am putting them up now.

Nathan Dempsey
Great work once again! I'm always amazed at how nice you make the older kits look.

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Nathan, your kind words mean a lot. I still do not hold a candle to your builds. I got the pitot tube and gear doors and drop tanks on today, all I have left is the IR seeker and a final clear coat to seal the weathering. I started a Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II. The horror stories I have seen and read about the kit are true. It's a pain for sure. Lol.

Mr D
Thanks Alberto 👍
How's the Be-12 going?

Robert Podkoński
Watching with interest 🙂

Mr D
Thanks Robert 😁👍
I've built few of these little guy,s there nice n easy n refreshing after bigger builds.

Mr D
Thanks Villiers 👋😃👍
.fun little builds good for filling gaps on the shelf .

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Skyhiker
I think you should do the factory test model red AND the conservative grey scheme! They are both cool. Heck maybe you should do 20 or 30 of these little suckers. That would be fun.

Mr D
Hi Skyhiker 👋
Thanks.... the red looks smart, quite a few weapons to paint up too.. going to need my magnifying visor.
I have the German F4 phantom and the hornet lined up in the stash 🤣

Mr D
Thanks Edouard 👍
I noticed you have the Airfix Tomahawk on order?
That's a really nice kit to build ...goes together well , the back wheel n control stick are bit fragile! So be careful.

Ben M
Is that a Su-9 in photo 10?

Mr D
Hi Ben 👋
It's
Starfighter,
F-14 tomcat,
Mig-21
Mig-23 ground attack version.
👍

Ben M
😍

Guy Rump
Lovely collection. 👍

Mr D
Thanks Guy 😁👍
The little 1:144 good for saving room 🤣.
I would like to do full size Starfighter at some point .

Mr D
^^ full size 🤣🤣 1:48 ^^

Ben M
Hahaha! I have a "full size" starfighter coming up too. It's such a beautiful aircraft.

gorby
Nice result on all of them.

Mr D
Thanks Gorby Appreciate it....there my little fill-in substitutes ....till l get round to 1:48
Definitely want to do a Starfighter in larger scale.
Good luck with your projects 👍

Mr D
Thanks for the lovely Likes 😁👍
Will have to look into the fiddly weapons next.

Skyhiker
Looking good

Andrzej Rygiel
I like to do 144th scale minis in between some bigger scale models and your Tigershark is an eye-catcher, it will really stand out in this bright livery! Gives me some ideas for my next builds 😉

Mr D
Hi Andrzej.
Thanks 👍 yes they are nice to do now n then between or after bigger builds.
Yes it's a nice bright red, the Northrop factory colour.
Good luck with your projects 👍👍

Mr D
Thanks for the Likes everyone 😀👍
Nice quick easy little build, the paints are AK Intense acrylic.

Miguel Vaquero
Looking pretty good D. Amazing as always

Mr D
Hi Miguel 👋, thanks ... appreciate it.
This one was moulded quite good, l had to build up the bottom intake on one side a little, but l think that was me not fitting the part level.
I have an F-4 phantom from this range in the stash, l managed to get so 144 German decals for it ....they cost more than the kit 🙄🤣.

Miguel Vaquero
Well I'm really hoping to see more of your 144 work because it's impressive. And as for the F4 decals, well, spending money is the biggest part of this hobby 🤣🤣

Mr D
True 🤣 l need a good soviet cockpit paint now 🙄
