Quick project to get my mojo back after a long break! (I decided not to use the car model after all, that needs some more work that what I am ready at the moment.)

So far so good. No idea how much weight it needs but, apart from that, all looks reasonable out of the box. I only added seatbelts from an me-262.

I was really clumsy joining the two halves: I should dry-fitted the model... I did get to practise gap-filling, sanding and rescribing!

Almost ready to prime. A bit of the frame of the canopy came broken, so some plasticard next weekend...

Decals on place. I had a hard time with the gloss coat.

Base almost there. Grass looks like a carpet, I need to improve that. Next time.

Thanks Dave and everyone in the likes! I haven't done anything in a while so I took the easiest-looking model in my stash and I am advancing. Model is good but I was clumsy joining the two halves and I went to a couple of cycles of filling-sanding-reescribing. The figures are amazing, but two small for my eyesight. Let's see the paining...

Thanks everyone, I'm calling this done. I love the airplane, the kit is good but I managed to mess up joining the two halves, the figures are incredible, I really enjoyed with the base, and, as usual, I have made hundreds of mistakes. I feel ready for the next project...

Nice doi! The figures look very good, but what happened to the car?

Thanks Gorby! Car kit was more challenging that was I was prepared for and went straight back to the stash... I can see it destroyed in my next ww2 diorama 😉
