Rotation is well hidden. To rotate your photos, open your album. Click on "manage". Then turn on the "advanced options" toggle. You will now have the ability to rotate photos in the album.

Doubtingmango
Beautiful work!

Tcamp
Thank yall
Im not a rivet counter or anything but.....
The more i looked at the kit boom i could not figure how it would work ..
Revell had their boom right im also going to support mine as they did and use poles instead of ratlines. Which tie down inside of the work area ?
Im not feeling that one either lol
Again thanks

M0rce
Oooohhh... so nice 🙂
A Lindberg kit? Seen them but never got one, yet. That looks amazing.

Started out life as a Pyro Plastics kit which in turn was a reverse-engineered copy (pretty much a blatant rip-off) of the Model Shipways wooden kit of the M.T. (Motor Trawler) Hildina H-222 which was built by Cook, Welton & Gemmell Ltd. in 1951. If you look for photos, you will see it matches the Hildina except for some artistic license in the pilothouse windows mainly but an easy fix. The sloped rear pilothouse roof is also a distinctive feature of the Hildina. Apparently the front boom can face forward or aft (is it on a swivel?) according to need. I know the boom was used to hoist the cod end (heaviest part of the net) aboard. These kits are a great basis for conversion to R/C as the original plastic kits were motorized.

The details on this kit are so crisp. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing to the rear section.

Tcamp
Me too. ( LOL )
thanks m0rce

Snake Plissken
@M0rce I thought you meant where the deckhouse meets the wrap-around stern section; there's a bad gap there where the aft doors are, port and starboard, but maybe you meant the rear mast. Some trawlers only had a foremast and added a simple derrick to handle the lifeboat.

Wow !!!

Great build mojo I love 1/72 armor

Treehugger
A lot of fun for being 1:72 armor I think. 🙂

Clair Greenwood
Precision approach, Im loving it. Is that putty around the bogies to hull fitment? Just curious 🙂

Eddy Marshall
Cheers Clair... Just for fitting to the hull... The connections between the running gear and hull are extremely loose... Not to mention the rocker arm assemblies have a tendency to be misaligned... Just mocking it up at the moment and see where I need to shore things up... Happy modelling...

Clair Greenwood
Ahhh ok, doing it the smart way, thats something I probably wouldn't think to do.

Great start 👍 I'm courious how the Bronco tracks will fit. Can you recommend the resin parts?

EnsignExpendabl
Interesting what you can do with such an old kit, good luck!

Rui S
Looking good. I'm in. 👍

Dave Flitton
Yes, I recommend them, BUT, you have to make the parts fit by cutting out some of the Tamiya parts.

Dave Flitton
Some pictures added. Added some color, and working on the Bronco tracks. I will be working on putting the decals and weathering soon. I just have to get the color on the tank just right. Some suggestions would be helpful.

Here are some photos from a recent restoration in Kubinka. The tank used to be painted in Panzergrau, but at some point was stripped back down, reprimed, and repainted in Dunkelgelb for battle. It was captured by the Russians, put on display in a trophy exhibition, then painted green for some reason, then painted gray over that with fictional markings. Yuri Pasholok and his crew restored it to the original Dunkelgelb paint and the markings that it carried at that time.

Maybe I should put firecrackers in it and quit. But, I will push on. It already looks better than my OOB build of this same kit I built in Iraq.

Jörg Luther
C'mon, Dave, no demolition actions, please - your build look so good and I can't wait to see it finished. You know that the tank from your reference/project photo is in Ft. Benning? There's a nice page with reference pics about it:

The color looks like Gelbbraun RAL 8020 to me, which also would fit in the timeframe. That would be Tamiya XF57, Humbrol 93 or the like. Btw, an English version of EnsignExpendabls link is here:

Baby's got new shoes, maybe I can finish this before I die!

Jörg Luther
Yo! It's alive! 👍

Dave Flitton
