Cool

Harald Besold
Great models - very well done!

Giannis Kaltapanidis
Great work. Did you use smoke on the canopy?

CaptGPF
Thank you everyone for your likes. 😀

Harald. I put the two side by side to show the differences in the paint. It was an eye opener to see how there was so much variation on such a color!

Giannis, I used X-19 + X-24 using a 5:1 ratio. Perhaps a 4:1 would have worked better. I'll note this in the pictures for reference.

RichardL from this forum deserves the credit for the Have Glass mixture I based the new build off of - arcforums.com/forums..70-who-got-it-right/

Very nice work!

CaptGPF
Thanks Gorby!

Mr James
A great pair. Lovely finish on these great looking fly birds😄

Neuling
I agree with Mr James!

CaptGPF
Thank you, Mr James / Neuling - it means a lot coming from the two guys I am always drawing inspiration from!

Markus Helmers
Great build! Love image 26! Such an insane vehicle.

CaptGPF
thanks Markus!

Edouard Carr
Nice! My son has just bought the Tamiya version with Beast mode option he is looking forward to starting it.

CaptGPF
thanks Edouard! Hope he enjoys it! I had to special order this Hasegawa beast-mode kit, as they don't carry it in the US.

Nice work.

Thanks a lot for your comments and likes 👍😘

Well done so far

Bart Goesaert
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

Sergio Ordonez
Ekki, but do not expect anything marvellous: there IS not a good base to make a good one from this one.

Duster_d
I'll look at it with interest. I have such a "Gannet" former FROG\NOVO from ARK-models in my stash.

Llyr
Looks good sergio! Should turn out good.

Sergio Ordonez
Thanks you mates. The things is I LOVE this ugly bird. By the moment, I will try to improve the landing gear sinks and complete the cockpit to be a little more real. The recession of panels; well, I think the plastic is not enough thik and strong to try, so I will keep It as It is.

Fabulous kit. After checking references and a visit to the Flygvapenmusem in our summer vacation I decided to stick to my trusty AK Real Colours.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Cool topic, following

Michael Kohl
I got the ol' Heller kit. Following with interest. Did you have to mix the colors or could you use them straight from the jar?

Mirko Römer
Thanks mates! I used the colours straight out of the jar, with lighter US od freckles over the lighter UK od.

Thomas Kolb
I have three of those kits in the stash waiting for a triple build, so I will follow with great interest. You nailed the colors pretty much perfect. It's quite an elusive greenish brown that looks different on each photo, and not easy to mix yourself. BTW, did you have problems getting the nose weights in place?

In view of the start of this build, I was tempted by the following motto: "From ugly duckling to swan": the kit offers a number of interesting challenges, but gives an idea of the potential both as a model and as a representation of a true aircraft beauty! I will try my best to make the swan appear....
A first challenge: roughly moulded parts, poor fit and a wing that wants too much in a positive V-position.... A second challenge will follow in the form of a Vacu canopy that has turned yellow with age; this will give me the opportunity to try out the doing in Vac-canopy myself. More of that next time...

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here, too 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
It's a pleasure!

Transall NG
Nice aircraft !
One was used in the last phase of the New Guinea gold rush in the 30's...
Good luck !

Cuajete
Great, Roland!
I would like to see the steps you follow when making the Vac-canopy.

J35J
Very intresting project! Taking a seat.

Alex K
In...

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your interest, I appreciate it!
Cuajete, I'd be happy to show you a few photos of the progress of the construction and application of the self-moulded Vac canopy. It seems to have produced a reasonable result so far....

Erik Leijdens
An unusual subject Roland! No doubt you will end up with a fantastic result

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you for your trust and encouragement, Erik!

Cuajete
Many thanks, Roland!
Great job with the putty party and vacuum canopy 👍

What thermoformer did you use?

Thomas Kolb
This look like an intriguing project, but she's definitely a putty queen! I am super impressed with the vac-forming!

Łukasz Gliński
Can't miss that swan

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you very much for the answers, mates! I'll show you a few new pictures from today: the surfaces have been reworked with 2000 grit sandpaper (even if it may not look like it, dusty as the "duckling" still is) to prepare it for a first coat of paint. This will certainly show the need for correction! 🙂

Nicolas
I'll grap a seat. Nice work so far.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Feel very welcome, Nicolas! 🙂

Roland Sachsenhofer
New pictures of the current state of construction: the 'Baby Clipper' still looks very dark, but in the next step it will get an 'Azur' blue underside, which will be completed by 'Middle Stone' and 'Dark Earth' on the upper sides. Since prototype photos already show this machine with heavy signs of use and weathering, I will endeavour to achieve a similar look here.

Finn
Looking good indeed

Miguel Vaquero
Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴

Michael Kohl
Nice cockpit

Thomas Kolb
My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Michael!

I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive

Hello Welcome here 😉

Thank you. It has been long overdue for me to join.

Planning to make a forced perspective diorama? If so, looks like a great idea 🙂 following!

This looks really interesting - will follow
