Update 01. 16.10.24. Hi folks. Welcome to my latest build. Decided to make a start on this Ryefield Model German Puma Armoured Car. So far, I have made up the axles and running gear on the lower hull. Each wheel is steerable, with the front and rear axles being linked together to position the wheels in a steering state. The steering linkages had to be fitted onto the axles by melting the end of the rods with a heated screwdriver head. Unfortunately, I broke one of the linkages for the rear set of wheels. This means that the rear axle will have to stay in the straight position. I have had to fill in a load of ejector pin marks on the swing arms. I will probably paint this lower hull in the Dark Yellow colour before moving onto the interior of the hull. The kit has most of the interior and a full engine. No internal painting instructions though. So, I will be winging it lol. That's all for now. Enjoy.

Update 02. 22.10.24. I have painted the lower hull and running gear etc in the Dark Yellow colour. Then I moved onto the interior. I have assembled most of the internal components. There is another steering wheel to fit in the rear driving position. I painted most of the interior in a White colour with a little Brown added to make a Creme colour. The engine bay was painted with Tamiya Hull Red. I have assembled the engine, but its not glued in place yet. I will do some weathering before fitting the engine. I painted the engine with Mr Hobby Super Metallic Dark Iron. This paint is buff-able once dry. I buffed it up with a soft brush and a cotton bud. This makes it look like cast iron etc. I will probably do some dry brushing on the engine with a Metallic Steel colour. You wont be able to see much of it under the panels anyway. I still have to paint the leather pads and backs of the seats. Then pick out any details. Then I can weather the interior before moving on. That's all for now. Enjoy.

Update 03. 14.11.24. Sorry, that I haven't put up an update for awhile. Been some things going on in my personal life. Anyway, I have come a long way now. I did the weathering of the interior, including the inside of the turret. Gun breach etc. Then I finished the majority of the main building phase. I have done all the main camo painting etc. I will be roughening up and painting the exhausts next. These will be made to look rusty. Then I will have to paint and fit all the tools, jack and jerry cans etc. Then it will be time to decal up before doing some weathering. That's it for now. Enjoy.

Nice work. The smoke looks very effective.

Andy Claesens
Thanks very much Gorby 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat! 😉

Moreno Baruffini
Wow! I wasn't aware of this plane. Following with a lot of interest!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome mates.
Me neither, until I visited the Duebendorf museum 🙂

Patryk S.
Following! Very interresting project!

Michael Kohl
Is Duebendorf worth a visit?

Moreno Baruffini
I'm also curious about Dübendorf, now the Alptransit tunnel is closed, but It should be a nice trip from southern Alps

Łukasz Gliński
Well, I visited Dübendorf only once, more than a decade ago. Not that the Switzerland changes very quickly, but it was a while ago 😉
Not the biggest one I've been to (don't expect the size of Duxford), but very interesting. As it's in CH, there are many unique airplanes on display, so highly recommended.
The C36 was unfortunately parked the way you couldn't see the interior v.well, so there's a lot of guesswork involved in this build. Kora's kit has the same interior setup for all C36 versions which is not true for sure.

Cuajete
Interesting!

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome amigo 👍 I had to use some brute force today, but the fuselage has been closed

Edward MacKenzie
Well, it's time for me to take a seat here too, especially because i have this kit in my stash and live 10 minutes from Duebendorf 😉

Moreno Baruffini
...At the end of the day, I've also bought this kit! Great progress 👍

Bernd Grün
Promising start, Lukasz. Following! 👍

Cuajete
Looking good so far, Łukasz. Go on!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks a lot, it's sort of on hold currently, as I prefer sanding the resin kits outdoors 🙂

Nicolas
Joining in

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Cuajete
I agree with you, Łukasz 👍
Despite this, it is advisable to use a mask or you can even sand inside a bag if you do not do it outdoors. Resin dust is toxic and can be carcinogenic.

Michael Kohl
Consider wet sanding. It ameliorates the dust problem considerably. Not using a dust mask when dry sanding resin isn't the most brilliant idea - being it in- or outside.

Łukasz Gliński
Just to be clear, inside or putside - mask is always there, I just skip cleaning the residue from the modelling room 👍

Bernd Grün
Nice start, Lukasz! 👍 Following!

Moreno Baruffini
Already summer in Poland Łukasz? 😉 What do you use as filler?

Łukasz Gliński
CA glue and some fancy sand from Revell Fix kit. Still, lots of sanding ahead

Cuajete
Great, Łukasz! Summer makes you even stronger 💪

Thomas Kolb
Cool project although I missed the first part! I am reserving my seat.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome Thomas, great to see you here. I advanced a bit lately and managed to force the canopy into submission (just in case you wondered - there are 2 pieces in the kit)

Ben M
I've had the same issue with vacu canopies. Each one has gotten a little better for me.

Moreno Baruffini
Glad to see you again working on this Łukasz!

Zbynek Honzik
Taking a seat, Łukasz! This project looks very interesting.

Cuajete
Good progress!

Łukasz Gliński
Gruezi my friends 👍

Thomas Bischoff
time to join the show 👍

Alec K
Same. The canopy looks great 👍

Mirko Römer
Great work so far!

Alexander Grivonev
Never ever heard of this airplane 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome folks, progress is slow, but I hope to start painting soon (this year at least)

Juergen Klinglhuber
Checkin' this out,...

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome JK 👍
After priming I found out a lot of bubbles in the resin, in particular on the fuselage - trying to locate and fill'em all.

Cuajete
I'm glad to see this project being resumed, Łukasz.
If you can't get rid of any bubbles, you can say they are bullet holes or pellet holes 😛

Moreno Baruffini
Ahahaha, I agree with Cuajete!

Moreno Baruffini
Great progress!

Andy Ball
Typhoon, surely? Anyways!, a terrific build and homage to a Canadian squadron?

Neuling
Clean work. Beautiful!

Dave
Thank you

Peter Mollenhauer
Well done, Dave! Is this the Airfix 1/72 kit?

Dave
Peter that is an academy kit

Jakub Fiala
Nicely done, Dave 👍

Dave
Thank you

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Austin Steenkamp
I'm busy with a typhoon got any tips

Dave
Sorry Austin, I'm still learning how to use my airbrush's after many years of hand painting. I just got back into building kits a few years ago.

Austin Steenkamp
All good

Robert Podkoński
Good job!

Dave
thank you Mates.

Alberto
Nice paint job and good looking Tiffy!

Dave
Thank you Alberto

Anthony lfk
my fav ww2 plane. Nice

Dave
One of favourite too

Mark Sherwood
Considering you're still trying to get a handle on your airbrush, that's a good paint job Dave. 🤟🥸🤘

Dave
Thanks Mark, I'm still learning new techniques with each kit I build.
