Ready for paint. A lot of flash on the smaller parts like headlight covers, all were scraped as thin as I dared to do.

Bart Goesaert
Wading trunks soldered... on to paint..

Alec K
Procedding nicely. Those soldered trunks look great 👍

gorby
Interesting. Nice work so far.

Bart Goesaert
Thank you guys, will be out of the box, with exception for decals... none are supplied for the Sherman

Bruce Huxtable
Very impressive PE work, for sure. This looks like it's going to be a little gem 🙂

Bart Goesaert
Thank you. Paint added. The different kinds of green on a sherman with regards to it's timeframe are endless, with this in regards, is it to dark for a sherman in the beginning of the normandy campaign?

Alec K
Looks a bit dark to me, but I am just one data point 🙂. Lovely build 👍

Bart Goesaert
Thx Alec, took some time, but resprayed the tank completely. Changed the mix to 40% buff and 40% olive drab and 20% clear...

Finn
Looking good

Alec K
Nice! 👍

Alex K
Yeah! No kit left behind! And: You can't have too many Cub models 😉 👍 👍

Cuajete

Thanks y'all, added the Piper Club pics, enjoy 🙂

Cuajete
I think I need a Pipers club like that 😛

Guy Rump
Like it! Congrats! 👍

Alec K
Nice hangar full of Czech planes, I love it 👍. Makes me wanna build something from that stable again...

Neuling
Very nice models and good photography!

Łukasz Gliński
Many thanks mates and kudos to Alec, who supplied me with a copy of these lovely backdrops 👍
Alec, give it a try! 🙂

Alec K
🙂👍

Florian H.
Da schau ich mal zu

Dave Flitton

Another monster! I am in 👍

Ich nehm mir auch mal nen Stuhl.

BAT21
Welcome on board.

Thomas Kolb
Cool! This I just need to follow!

Robert Podkoński
Me too!

BAT21
I'm glad you're part of this project.

Robert Podkoński
I have uploaded a few photos of Polish Mi-6 before and after restoration here:
Once there was a collection | Album by podkon ; and here:
Polish Air Force Museum - Dęblin | Album by podkon. Perhaps you will find them useful.

BAT21
👍

Ekki
Watching.

Michael Kohl
BAT21 builds a chopper? Not without me!

BAT21
Thank you very much for your interest.

Pierre-Christian Baudru
Can't wait to see it finish !

Florian H.
Sehr schön, Gratulation zu diesem Ergebnis 👍

BAT21
Danke Florian.

Bernd Grün
Promising start. 👍🏻 Following with interest!

BAT21
It's nice that the audience seats are filling up.

Alec K
Solid progress 👍

Alexander Grivonev
Habe den Kit seit Jahren im Besitz, traue mich aber nicht ran. Was für ein Monster👍

BAT21
Wer bei der Tu 128 von Trumpeter alle Fehler in Perfektion beseitigt hat, muss sich nicht vor der Mi-6 fürchten.
Etwas Spachtelmasse und Schleifpapier bereitlegen... und schon kann es losgehen 😉

Alexander Grivonev
Ja das war wirklich eine Baustelle das Ding. Aber trotz des Ehrgeizes der Chinesen, dem Modellbauer auch den letzten Nerv zu rauben, sieht mir Amodel so auf den ersten Blick nach mehr Arbeit aus...

Gergő Takács
Wow! Very cool Project! I will take a seat! 🙂

BAT21
Feel welcome mates.

Michael Kohl
Starts to look like a Mil Mi-6? Well, then it's time to charge the teaser to a picture of your model. 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Joining in late, but sure worth it. Clean built on this "filling the gaps" giant. 👍

Treehugger
Q: The tiny "brass" colored tubes for the wiring on the main rotor head, are those bits of cut up syringe tips?

BAT21
For these parts I cut 0.5mm brass tubes from Albion Alloys.

Spanjaard
rotor head is truly impressive

Alec K
I agree, pimped to the hilt 👍

Casey Beckett
Recently discovered Albion Alloys here - lovely stuff!

BAT21
Many thanks guys, much appreciated.

CaptGPF
That rotor work is sick!
…but so is the PE cockpit work at this scale! Watching!

Alec K
Excellent progress 👍

Łukasz Gliński
On the pic #35 it looks professional, not provisional 😉

Florian H.
Sehr schönes farbspiel

BAT21
Many thanks 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Yes it is time 👍 Brilliant shading btw

Michael Kohl
Great finish

Erik
"So what do you think? Time to remove the masks from the windows?"
Yes! 👍 😉

BAT21
Thank you mates.
The self-cut masks on the side windows revealed a catastrophic picture after removal: something sticky remained on the windows... the hoped-for cover was also rather poor, the paint got under the masks at the edges. 🤬

Now I'll make a calming coffee and then try to repair it.

Alec K
Damn, that sucks. I had same experience on several builds, nothing some scraping and reapplication of Future can't fix.

Thomas Kolb
That's unfortunate, but maybe you can remove the tape residue with some IPA alcohol and cotton buds?

BAT21
I scraped everything off with a toothpick, more or less. Not the best result, but the model was able to avoid being thrown away.

Mr D
Very nicely done, great panel shading 👌 Brilliant 👍👍👍

Mr D
Nicely done 👍 Great panel shading 👌, Brilliant 👍👍

Guy Rump
A very good result, you wouldn't realise the issues you had. 👍

Spanjaard
seems you recovered pretty well from the problem, congratulations great result

Ekki
Very, very good chopper!
Well done.

Nicolas
Great result. 👍

BAT21
Thanks mates, much appreciated

Rui S
Excellent as always 👍

BAT21
With the attachment of the last parts and the assembly of the antenna forest, the helicopter is finished and the project is complete.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of this strenuous journey... and now have fun with the final pictures.

Łukasz Gliński
Respect for the antennas. It looks great in the taiga 👍

Spanjaard
congrats on a great model

Neuling

This is now implemented, when you have selected 'Kits' in search/stash/wishlist there is a new filter "Delivery type"

Tim Sloan
I dont see it anywhere...I clicked on "Kits" on the tool bar above (im on PC) ..scrolled down, and I dont see anything that says "Delivery type" ...I also searched for a specific name ..and in the side bar..I still see nothing that says that. I appreciate you adding it though..I just dont see it

scalemates
Can you recheck please?

Tim Sloan
yes its there now thankyou thats awesome!
