Lahe! Kust need eesti õhuväe märgid said? Tahaks endale kaa paar.

Clement
Nicely done!
The contrast between the camouflage and Estonian markings is very interesting.

Rui S
Very nice camo 👍

John
Nice construction phase, that main gun looks mean and the muzzle brake is 👍

DuperScale
following, love that muzzle break.

Ron
Looks good! I am working on my Academy-version.

Rui S
Nice work 👍

Rui
Great work Chris! 👍

Neuling
Excellent work. And: Same question as Michael.

Chris Vandegrift
I've not been able to find out why. The shark teeth, eyes, and armour tan were also part of the special livery.

Villiers de Vos
Which Harrier kit did you use?

Very nice work.

Chris Vandegrift
Trumpeter 1/32 AV-8B US Marines

Rui S
Great work on this big one 👍

thanks for your nice words Steve. I see you are always aware...

Kim Branders
Top.

Rui S
Thanks' Mate, but not yet Top

Rui S
Thanks' Michael. Coming from a Pro it's a great compliment...

Ulf Petersen
Very nice scene!👍
The Italeri-RSO and Tamiya-Kettenkrad are another ones of my first model kits of the early 80s. 🙂 Nice to see that they still are able to make attractive models.

Rui S
Thanks for your nice comments Ulf. I used to look to the RSO as a very strange vehicle but after building this kit, I started to like it a lot...

Rui S
Thanks for your nice comment Hanno. I'm very glad that this dio made you remember your grandfather and relive his stories (I'm sure very interesting ones)...
P.S. Thanks for sharing that information...

Donald Medley
Kind of reminds me of Alaska Huh?

Rui S
hehehe because of the RSO?

Thomas (Tommy) Rumley
This is so realistic, excellent work.

Rui S
Thank you for stopping by and your kind comment Thomas.
Glad you like this one.
Much Apreciated.

Neuling
You really brought these old kits to life. Nice to see them in this realistic scenery.

Rui S
Thank you for your kind words and stopping by and comment, Neuling.
Comming from a Dio Master, feels even better. Much Apreciated.
And also thank you James C (Jim C); Paulo ( Parrais)

@Neil, thanks for stopping by and comment with your kindness. I look forward and will be watching your RSO project.

@Johne 69, thank you for your comment. I'm glad you like this one.

@Olivier, thank you, yap a very old project already, but another one that was done in 2 diferent phases and a enjoyable one.

@John, thx for stopping by and for your kind comment.

@Ingo, thank you for your kind comment, I'm really glad you like and stopped by on this one. Like all the others it helped a lot in the learning curve.

I also wish to thank All the 31 mates that liked this album. Apreciated.

Alan G
Excellent work again Rui

Rui S
Thank you for your kind comment Alan. Apreciated.
This is a old one and with some bad photos. Maybe one day I will take new photos.
I also thank the 16 mates for the new likes. Apreciated.

Lothar Linke
I really like how you work the camouflage

Rui S
Thank you for your comment Lothar29. Glad you like this old one. Apreciated

Kurt Shepard
Beautiful model, Great work!

Roy Seine
Amazing work, i think the weathering is just right

Rui S
@ Kurt, thank you, I'm really glad you like this old one.
@ Roy, thx a lot, I apreciatte your kind comment.

gvizbi
Beautiful work in every regard. Very nice scene and the weathering is fantastic.

Pietro De Angelis
It's always incredible what you can get out of old models,
congratulations Rui!

Mr James
Really good rust effect on the exhaust. Lovely diorama

Rui S
@ gvizbi, thx a lot for your kind comment on this old one. Coming from such a talented modeler it feels great
@ Pietro, Thank you very much for your kind support. Much appreciated. I really enjoy work on oldies.
@ Mr James. Glad you like this one. Thank you.
Interesting to see this oldies come to surface 🤔

Doubtingmango
The weathering really is beautiful. I love the old Italeri kits. My first kits were the old Testors brand.

Rui S
Hi Doubtingmango, thank you for your comment. Apreciated.
I still like Italeri kits, and I have great respect for them and also some in stash that I hope to build 😉

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Pavlo Yakovenko
unusual model, very nice

Rui S
@Villiers de Vos, thank you for your comment. Glad you like this oldie
@Pavlo, thx for your kind words, when I was very young I thought this was a "what if" or science fiction vehicle 😄

Владимир Ловцов
Good job. RSO is especially good.

Rui S
Thank you for your comment Владимир Ловцов . Apreciated.
The kettenkraft was hand painted, later on the RSO was already done with airbrush, and it's easy to see the improvement from that.

Rui
Great work Rui! 👍

Jennifer Franklin
You were doing work of this caliber eight years ago!!!!

Mr James
We've got lots of catching up to do Jennifer 🙂

Jennifer Franklin
You're not kidding Mr. James

Rui S
@ Rui, Thank you for stopping by and comment, apreciated, glad you liked this one

@ Jennifer, not quite. 8 years ago I discover scalemates, and posted it, but this one was my 2nd or 3rd Dio??? Done so long ago that I don't even remember when. And I'm such a slow intermittent modeler that I used to stay years without one single build.
Than scalemates enter the scene and I was more motivated but even so my mojo it's better but still very inconsistent

@ Mr James, you may be right but don't worry, scalemates it's a never ending source of Great and new and Beautiful work's that are always appearing, that's why I'm here every single day since.

Jennifer Franklin
Okay, Rui, now I am even more impressed. For someone who started working on models about a month ago, the idea of working on them for that many years is incredible.

Rui S
Be aware Jennifer, it's an addition 😄😄 😄 but a good one, has you can confirm here in scalemates 😉

Jennifer Franklin
Yes, I think I may be addicted 🙂 🙂 🙂

Rui S
We all hope so 😉

Maxime
Hi, Rui S 🙂 ! Out of all your models, I think this one reaches the greatest level of realism and meticulousness. It's not as big as your Panther diorama but still it must have taken a long time to complete. That is some great work right there and it is definitely inspiring. I hope you have another one like this in the near future 🤙

Rui S
Hi Maxime, Thank you for your nice comment. Apreciated.
I don't know if you access all my dios. This one is an old one and I enjoy doing it and the result I got on the RSO, but in my opinion not my best work. And also not even the one with the Panther.
Anyway don't get me wrong, I'm really glad you like this one.

Thomas E.
Oldie but goldie! A "Raupenschlepper Ost" is always a great subject in my opinion. And Sa-Kuva - Please type in: RSO
There is a lovely picture. The Finns had used 10 RSO in continuation war. I think the colour is German sand, the PAK is estimated finnish 3-Tone (green-brown-grey). Finnish green and brown may be very similar on bw-photographs.

Rui S
Thank you Thomas E. apreciated. Sorry for the late reply and I agree It's a great but somehow strange subject.

MS K
You always make the best scenes.
The dirt floor looks as soft as real life.

Rui S
Looking Great 👍

Robert Podkoński
Looks good already. Keep up the good work!

Vlad Medvedovskiy
Thank you Robert! Build is completed, just need to take final photos.

John E
Beautifully done. 👍

Ignacio von Braun
Amazing!!

Villiers de Vos
Thank you for sharing.

Neuling
Deserves more pictures!

Rui S
Nice collection 👍

Rui S
Another well done Dio 👍

Alberto
Very nice start, watching 👀

bughunter
At first glance I thought of 1:48, but so much the fancier 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
welcome @Alberto and thanks for your nice feedback. Also thanks @bughunter 🙂 I love working in this small scale and I do this beside the massive CH-54 - tricky to work in different scales but I missed working in 1/72 ...

Alec K
Taking a seat for sure 👍

Edward MacKenzie
I'm in, very interested in this build

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome @Alec and @Edward! Both cockpits are finished and fuselage half are going to be put together now. I just took a few closeups - D-20 is OOB and D-5 is made from Eduard resin print. I bought the cockpit print and the kit at the same time and after finishing both there pros and cons on each, but I would not spend extra money for that - the kit cockpit is very highly detailed. What is your opinion? BTW - I saw some cotton bud fibers in the pics now - that will be cleaned up ... in this sale it´s so hard to see that with the naked eyes ... Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks all

bughunter
Looking great, as I said not like 1:72 👍
Your seats with belts looks good - I wonder why Eduard sells now 3D printed seats with seat belts on the seat?! Makes the paint job complicated 🙁
Example: F4U-2 Seat With Integral Belts PRINT (Eduard 6481048, 1:48)

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
thanks @bughunter - the side panels on the D-5 are also from the resin print set. In 1/72 and 1/48 I like using PE seat belts. In bigger scales they are too flat. Thanks for sharing this - I didn't know that they offer this now - I agree with you that I don't see any benefit on this. That is interesting, indeed.

bughunter
If available for a type I prefer HGW belts. Eduard is at least involved with providing the metal parts for the sets.

Alec K
I think the printed seat belts are more realistic looking, despite drawbacks with painting. This works well in 1/72. Steel is just too rigid, plus they flake on me sometimes.

Simon O'Gorman
The detail is amazing! Especially for a 1:72. Great work.

Edward MacKenzie
I am really impressed mate. Wow...

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Alec: did you already try it? I would be interested in the result. @Simon and @Edward: many thanks for your nice feedback - appreciate it a lot and I´m glad you like it.

Jakub Fiala
Excellent work on cockpits 👍

Alec K
Thomas, I have not. I should qualify my statement: I think they look more realistically shaped (twists and bends) than what can be done with Eduard PE or steel belts. How well one can paint the 3D printed ones remains, for me, to be seen.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Jakub: many thanks for your nice feedback - appreciate it a lot! @Alec: I thought you might have done a printed seat - no worries and I hope you didn't get this wrong .. I'm really interested in how a seat with printed belts looks like. I think in 1/48 and bigger it can be nice, but 1/72 would be really tough to paint.

Alec K
🙂 👍

Michael Kohl
I build the Tamiya one, but Eduard doesn't have to fear the comparison. You brought all those details nicely to effect with your paint job. Anxious for more.

Alec K
Forgot to ask: how do you do your dark wash (interior side walls, specifically)?

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Micheal: don't make me blushing .... @Alec: well, good question and I have to say I didn't apply any wash on the panels. What I did was black primer and a real heavy dry brush with white or off-white. And then I sprayed a thin layer of interior green in 90° to the panels to get a kind of base coloring. Final layers were then applied from a smaller angle (almost 90° to the wings just to explain). With this technique the shadows created them by themselves. I then used very little amount of black panel liner to pop out the smallest details. Let me know if I could explain understandable ... not en English native 😝

Alec K
Aha, thanks for the explanation (very clear and concise 👍. I think I have read about this somewhere, but the dry brushing with white is new to me. The effect is very nice imho 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome Alec - any time ☺️ if I do dry brush after painting main color I would match the color. If you do it directly on black primer you have the highest contrast and you are able to blend with main color until it's just enough visible to pop the edges a bit. So can create a bit of depth at least this was my idea 🤷‍♂️

Michael Kohl
You achieved a nice 3D-effect with this technique. Maybe you wanna try to spray pure highly diluted plain white from your imaginary light source afte the black primer. On top of that come light coats of the base color. This gives you highlights and shadows in a pretty natural way. I like it with figures and cockpits.

Alec K
Thomas, I think you have succeeded. Thanks again for the detailed how-to. And thank you Michael for the optional airbrush highlight technique tip 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Michael: thanks - I used this technique one the figure I made for my Fw190 vignette, but I haven't thought on this on a cockpit. In my opinion this technique probably does not pop the edges as much as dry brush done before spraying the main color. Maybe a combination is good in bigger scales ... I will think of it on my next builds. @Alec: welcome and thanks for your positive feedback ☺️

Rui S
Looking Great 👍

Rui S
Great Dio 👍

Rui S
Well done clean work 👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

bughunter
Welcome Robert! Which one you want to take, the yellow or a green one? 😉

Please do not miss the project description, for the _VERY_ important reason for this project!

Robert Podkoński
👍 A green one, please 🙂

Marcel Klemmer
Hi Frank, I am in and do not need a seat. 😉

Ludvík Kružík
I'll sit down too. If I'm not mistaken, one green seat is still open. 😉

Spanjaard
I am certainly in

Martin Oostrom
Green two for me

David H
Be rude not to join in. 👍🏻

gorby
I'll join the audience as well. 🙂

bughunter
Hello my friends! A warm welcome to each and every one of you!

Working on the parts of this kit can be considered bodily harm! The bright yellow hurts your eyes and you can't see any details or damaged areas that need work. I would have preferred a more common gray!

Michael Kohl
Moin Frank. Nimmst mich mit?

bughunter
Aber sicher doch, wenn Du eine wilde Fahrt aushälst 😉

Kenneth
Hallo Frank, the set with lap belts only could be intended for the US Navy variant of the Stearman, the N2S. Until US entry in WW2, US Navy aircraft mostly did not have shoulder belts. I read this in a review of a 1/32 Vought Kingfisher while looking for seatbelts and wondering about the same thing for my 1/32 Revell/ICM N2S Stearman kit.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Schau ich mir auch an,...

bughunter
Welcome! Thanks Kenneth! That makes sense, as the kit offers also a yellow Navy plane with red stripes. Luckily my wife want it blue-yellow. All the pictures I found shows also shoulder belts, but that was mostly still flying machines and I guess the shoulder belts was added later.
I had already downloaded the ICM manual as an additional reference and looked at reviews because of an oddity on the upper wing. More on this later.

bughunter
Because I was still in soldering mode after the seats, I immediately turned my attention to the tank on the upper wing. I like the look of the metal fuel tank now.

Robert Podkoński
Perhaps you will find my photos useful for your build:
Hangar 10 | Album by podkon

bughunter
Yes, definitely 👍 Thanks!

bughunter
Found a nice page: stearman-aero.com/

bughunter
The wing is yellow again, but now the look is better!
I used here MRP-142 Orange Yellow. If someone remembers my Piper: the yellow was "Dark Chrome Yellow" also from MRP. Even this one here called "Orange Yellow" it looks more yellow compared to the Piper.

Ben M
👀

Alec K
I was just wondering where the heck is Bughunter, and here he is! Lovely progress and topic, following of course 👍

bughunter
Welcome Ben and Alec!
The lower wing is now also painted yellow. I only not sure about the blue. I want to go with the darker later blue, tried AK Pure Blue, but I will also try others.

Jakub Fiala
Nice work on this interesting type of aircraft so far 👍 Following for sure!

Ben M
Love these old trainers. They used to show up at airshows a lot when I was a kid.

Greg Baker
Sign me up!

Zbynek Honzik
A joy and pleasure to follow such a project! 👍

Christoph Kunz
Ui, da habe ich den Start ja irgendwie verpennt. 🙁
Aber jetzt bin ich dabei.

Kenneth
Noch was, je nach dem, was das Vorbild ist: Part 71 in Point 4 of the instructions is in my opinion not correct for a WW2-era Stearman. Such a box typically houses a radio, intercom, transponder etc. on modern, restored examples

David Taylor
Watching.

bughunter
In the spirit of "Piano man": the regular crowd shuffled in ...
Welcome!
Oh, can someone wake up Kyle? 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Kyle! - come on, you will miss a good portion of the show and have to put the stool again in the back... 😉 Just kidding. It is never to late for a bughunter-show

bughunter
Kenneth, thanks for the hint! Interestingly the Eduard manual of the PE set here on SM told me to remove the mount points for this part 71. After that hint I checked some pictures of original machines and found the modern equipment. So thanks for the confirmation! After my PE set arrived I found out the remove of that mount points is missing in my paper version! Luckily I have checked the corrected online version first.

I would like to build a original equipped plane, but this is somehow limited. I have only the kit decals for a US Army plane "136" dated 1941. There is no serial number mentioned. I have not found photos of that plane yet. So I will build it according the information I have, with "educated guesses" on some points. Later more.

bughunter
I made the instrument panels. May be you know the Eduard sandwich method of multiple PE parts? Here we have a special thing!

Kenneth
Fuselage innner side colours are also totally wrong in the instructions (overall aluminium). See flugzeugforum.de/thr...103126/post-3062086 where I posted some thoughts about this.

The „thick" plate on the instrument panel which you chose is correct for the period, it's a padding saving an unfortunate student pilot's face when smashing it against the instrument panel…

bughunter
Kenneth, thank you very much for your great support 👍 Highly appreciated!
Now I understand, why the bolts of the instruments are hidden by this padding.
According to your picture I painted the fuselage halves bright linen and added the read brown tensioning varnish. It will not be very visible after closing the halves.

The inner structure is not in scale: much too thick! As it will be not very visible later I do not go the extra mile to replace the structure by brass wires!
Did someone say Jehovah? 😎

bughunter
The seat belts (what a fiddly job), the seats and the cockpit as a whole are finished. What beautiful interior!

Have I forgotten something, or can the fuselage halves be glued?

Ben M
Pancakes! (IYKYK)

gorby
Lovely work on the cockpit Bugs. 🙂

Kenneth
Looks perfect 👍 I was wondering whether there shouldn't be a fuel cock (the red lever on the lower left side in the front cockpit) in the rear cockpit as well, but found quite a few photos were this indeed not the case (but also some with one).

And while the ICM fuselage structure is indeed very delicate, it stops short of the rear cockpit!

bughunter
Thank you mates!
Beside the thick structure it is a nice kit (and Eduard PE set) with great fit. Sometimes even with the famous Tamiya click 🙂

@Ben Pancakes?! You say if you know you know, but I do not know 🙁
If you mean the upholstery of the seats - I think that this task was taken over by the parachutes.

bughunter
The kit includes a clear lamp to be installed on the back of the fuselage for Navy and Army. I have not found a reference photo.
Is this perhaps an anti-collision light on modern aircraft? Add it or leave it out?

Kenneth
That fuselage lamp (probably a modern strobe light) does not appear in the manual available on the Stearman Aero site (p. 105)… from which I've also just learned that the red lever I mentioned earlier is control lock and not a fuel cock.

bughunter
Thanks for the confirmation of my guess Kenneth! I glued stretched sprue into the socket for later sanding.

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy
Bughunter "not going the extra mile"? 🤔
Usurper!
What have you done to the real Bughunter? 🤣

bughunter
Don't worry, I'm okay. I still go the extra mile, but where it makes sense and is visible.
The fuselage is now closed and other small things done.

Alec K
You are making a lightning progress Frank. I can barely keep up! The added detail is, as usual, superb 👍

babak chalangi
definitely watching this

bughunter
Alec, that is a Revell Level 4 kit with only 58 parts according to the box. Ok, the PE set and the belts doubles the number and there is room for a little scratch work, but the fit is fantastic! That saves a lot of time.
I have the Mr.Paint True Blue on order and hope it will arrive soon.

bughunter
Some more little details are prepared, for example a Venturi pipe. This idea is maybe useful for other types.
But I also decided to go the extra mile to meet all expectations and made it possible to mount the rudder in an angled position for more liveness.

Martin Oostrom
Great work from the master

Ludvík Kružík
Your work is gaining momentum. It's a pleasure to watch the model grow under your hands.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
How could I miss this build .... very very nice progress so far and kudos for the soldering work!!!! I was thinking of this approach very often, but I´m too scared and always came back to CA removing the excess with debonder. Watching this build with interest 😊

bughunter
Thank you mates for your very kind words!
@Thomas I was lucky enough to have been drilled in the art of soldering at a young age during my training as a telecommunications technician. Even though my studies were more theoretical afterwards, I now have 45 years of soldering experience. It was therefore obvious to use this experience in model making. This is also how I soldered my strip downs (see projects) 🙂

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Well, that explains it all - you can be glad having this kind of skills man 🤘

bughunter
Today the MrPaint "True Blue" arrived - exactly the beautiful shade I hoped for! Not too dark and not as bright as some of the actual airplanes flying around. With a hint of turquoise as often discussed.
The paint shades of the Mr.Paints are very nice, some examples: the Dark Chrome Yellow on my Piper (I was asked during the last exhibition about it), the PC12 on the Sopwith Triplane (some chocolate brown), the linen color shades .... and this True Blue is no exception 👍

Desert Marlin
Looking great!

Kenneth
Tolles blau 👍 Sieht sehr richtig aus!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Spitze !! 👍

bughunter
Thank you mates!
After some clear gloss coat I started to apply the decals. I also had an idea for a little scratch work - stay tuned!

Martin Oostrom
Marvellous work

bughunter
Thanks Martin!

Alec K
Scratch work?! Can't wait!

bughunter
Alec, you will need a bit of patience as I have to do other things first.
The wings are decorated. When the decals (and softener) are dry I can add more clear coat. The fuselage is not yet completed.

Desert Marlin
Nothing more pleasing than a fine "yellow-wing" from an era long passed!!!

Ricardo Reis
Another beauty? Arriving late, but I guess still on time! 👀

bughunter
Thank you mates!
Ricardo, it will have to be a beauty if my wife wants me to build this machine! There is still a lot on the ToDo list ....

Alec K
Patience I do have 😉. Your progress is superb 👍

Kyle DeHart
I am late, but I am here!! Up to your usual fantastic standards so far, my friend. Beautiful work. My father recently got to take a ride in a restored Stearman and had a blast with it!! So I think this is very cool indeed.

bughunter
Very nice to see you here Kyle and thanks! A ride in a Stearman would be nice indeed.

bughunter
After the wings was painted with satin coat to protect the decals I could realize my idea for which Alec has been waiting! Maybe some others too?

I had read somewhere that the position of the bracing on this model is incorrectly marked. Think again, when I leafed through the original manual I saw small windows to enable the check of control linkages etc instead of rigging points!

If Eduard has already realized the pulleys under windows so nicely on the Camel wings, something should work here too.

Desert Marlin
Looks fantastic. I like when these little treasures get found!

bughunter
Thanks!

There is still work to be done on the fuselage, but I was more tempted by the engine. Its done but ignition wires needs to be added.
I mentioned the thick push rods, here a ref pic for comparison (Source enginehistory.org):
[img1]

Landlubber Mike
Wow, this is incredible work man! The Eduard PE has some nice details, but your scratch details take this model up a few notches for sure. Well done!

Kyle DeHart
Beautiful work. I very much like how that engine looks. Will add nicely to the finished build with so much visible. Your replaced pushrods look perfect. An excellent touch.

Alec K
Great work on the engine. I also like the position light idea! One always learns something from your builds 👍

bughunter
Thank you mates!
Alec, there are typically six different sizes on the Eduard PE frames. Since I used the larger ones, the smaller seem to be usable for you 1:72 guys.

bughunter
Next chapter was the undercarriage - I'm happy with the look!

Juergen Klinglhuber
You can be happy - it is looking alright & very good. 👍 👍

bughunter
Thank you Juergen! I wanted to have the bird ready by the end of the month, but that could be tight.

Martin Oostrom
I know a certain Spanjaard, who bought the exact same kit today, in the hope of emulating your great build

Spanjaard
i was following before, but now I am certainly even more interested!!

Spanjaard
emulating will be great, but it will be far from it,no doubt 😉

bughunter
Thank you for the info Martin! Luckily I know you both 🙂
@Spanjaard That was a great decision! That is a wonderful kit! I was really positively surprised. The yellow plastic is bad, but the details and fit is great. It is not very old and seems to be created by Revell USA. You will have fun with this kit!
BTW I have an unused set of the colored Eduard PE set (the little one FE785) as I found the bigger set later.

I added new pictures as the wooden prop is in shape 🙂

Spanjaard
i just ordered Boeing Stearman PT-17 (HGW Models 148549, 1:48) and PT-17 (Eduard 49785, 1:48) 😄

bughunter
Oh, someone would like to go a long way, or even the whole way?

Lorraine Lin
Wow, the wood airscrew really looks great👍

bughunter
Thank you very much Lorraine!
Real wooden propellers are my trademark on the biplanes. The propellers with different kinds of wood look even nicer (see my other projects), but that would not have been authentic on this type.

Spanjaard
all the way, as far as i can 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Maybe you can order a custom made wooden propellor Spanjaard. I think I know just the guy, from Germany.

Spanjaard
or try to make one myself 😉

gorby
Nice work!

Bozzer
Bloody hell Pedro, that's a nice shine! Good to see you, back on the dark side 😉

Martin Oostrom
She does look gorgeous. The black and blue make it a regal car indeed.

Peter Hardy
Marty, colours are all SMS, Midnight Blue, Bright Blue, some Cold Chrome but it is mostly kit chrome and SMS 2k Clear.

Peter Hardy
Thanks Gordy! Bozz I have the sore arm to back that up!

Alexander Grivonev
Nice work mate, shiny!👍

Spanjaard
so shiny it reflects all in your bench, wow Peter, fantastic job as usual!

Laurent VILLANUEVA HELLER ForEver
great

Peter Hardy
Alex G, Spanjaard and Laurent thank you! T'was a long build but I like it! Hope you enjoyed the pics.

bughunter
B - E - A - U - T - I - F - U - L 👍

Peter Hardy
Thank you Bughunter!

Shiny 👍

Alexander Grivonev
I built this kit as a kid, this envokes nostalgic memories...
