Looking really good

Mirko Römer
Thanks Finn, some more chi-chi and it's accomplished.

Tom B.
Cool, I always like some modern AFVs 👍 Will there be a base for it?

Mirko Römer
Thanks Tom! I'm not sure about creating a base yet.

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice weathering!
You portrayed the Stryker well👍
Will there be a dmall dio for this?
Ps: The OKB tires are worth their money, aren't they?!😄

Mirko Römer
Thanks Simon, I'm working on it 😀The tires are pretty good, but needed some work to make them fit. Probably it might be easier on the Academy kit. The ones provided by Trumpeter looked quite small and thin.

Neuling
Top small scale build!

Mirko Römer
Thanks Neuling!

Mirko Römer
Figure, antennas, M240 with scratch hinge, then it's done.

Mirko Römer
Done. Can be seen live at this weekend's exhibition at Wiesbaden/ Mainz-Kastel.

Simon Nagorsnik
You did a good job on this dio mate!
Like all the details you`ve added
Thumb up 👍

Mirko Römer
Thanks Simon for your highly appreciated comment. Better pictures during the weekend, as everything is stored in boxes now.😀

Simon Nagorsnik
Aussie M1- follow this!!

Mirko Römer
Welcome Simon 👍 More specific modifications will follow.

Simon Nagorsnik
Oh yes, modifications are good and you have found a good source of inspiration there😁

David Taylor
Thought they had Leopards,I'm in.

Łukasz Gliński
Once you posted pic #1, we are all waiting for that fancy tent to be included 😛

Mirko Römer
If Hobby Boss will release the announced Leopard 2A6 CAN, I might consider buidling such an umbrella! But for god's sake this will take much longer than Hobby Boss claims! 🙂

To be honest, I have only one picture of the Ozzy umbrella...

Łukasz Gliński
toadmanstankpictures..abrams_australia.htm
So now, you have at least few more 😛
PS. there seems to be a special stand for it too: ozarmour.com.au/stor..-umbrella-stand.html

Tom B.
Interesting variant of the M1 you got there 👍 Following along!

Mirko Römer
Thanks mates! Very interesting pictures, who knows...👍😁

Simon Nagorsnik
Nice conversions!

Mirko Römer
Black base colour, some lighted AK Australian green. Needs even more lightening... The installation of the tracks was quite fiddly but finally it looks much better than the oob ones.

Mirko Römer
Decals arrived today, looking nice! Went back to black priming, didin't like the green yet and will start with black.

Finn
Looking good

Mirko Römer
Basic colouration and filter applied

Burkhard D
Great job on the camo!

Mirko Römer
Thanks Burkhard!

Mirko Römer
Besides the umbrella...done

Zsolt Czegle
This is just a quick fun project to kick back after a few months off....

Zsolt Czegle
The Unimog is painted, highlighted, masked/painted and chipped....

Zsolt Czegle
Added some shades with Ammo's Shader

bughunter
Oh, an Unimog!
I really like Unimogs and I'm sure you will convert this one into a golden winter Unimog too 👍
Golden will not be the colour of the Unimog, but of the medal you get for it!

Zsolt Czegle
Thank you Bughunter! 😉

Alec K
Well done 👍

Neuling
Well done indeed!

Rui S
I agree👍

Łukasz Gliński
Impressive, respect for handpainting the stripes 👍

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic!

Zsolt Czegle
Thank you mates for your kind words!

Łukasz: the stripes are masked and airbrushed. Not handpainted! 😉

Łukasz Gliński
Even more respect for cutting all these stripes, I had to do the same on my Panther and I know how tedious it is 👍

Mr James
Bloody fantastic

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Very impressive - as usual from you! 👌

Gerald
Hello Welcome here 🙂

Don Knecht
Thank you! I was thinking this morning that it would be nice if someone had a database of what detail kits and decals are available (or were) for a certain model. Later, I stumbled upon how this site works, and it's everything I was looking for and more.

Christian Bruer
Bergepanther Ausf. D, Dragon kit Panther Ausf. D, Fat Frog Models tracks and some scratchbuild details to present an early Bergepanther.
An easy self made conversion for an interesting recovery vehicle. I will add drawbars, a rack with a timber and the wooden hatch above the turret opening.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Today I added the wooden planking and hinges ontop of the turret opening cover.
Happy Modelling

Alec K
Looking lovely, taking a seat 👍

Jennifer Franklin
I like what I see, following

Christian Bruer
Thx Alex and Jennifer🙂 Still enough place in the first row by the way 😉

Tom B.
Taking up one of those firstt row seats on this one! These Fat Frog tracks are really neat, currently using a set on a King Tiger... Looking forward to more of the scratchbuilt addons 👍

Christian Bruer
You're welcome Tom B. 🙂

Indeed the Fat Frog tracks are really nice, but a lil bit tricky to remove all the printing supports mainly on the inner side of the tracks.

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther conversion. Tow bars and wooden beam added.
So far I have no references for early Bergepanther using the wooden beam, but let's assume it is a field modification.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Bruer
WIP on my Bergepanther. Rear plate, details added. I cut the covers and hatches off from the kit part. Muchveasier than to rebuild the details.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Alec K
Christian, I love your scratched wood structures. Very realistic to my eye 👍

Jennifer Franklin
Agreed, the scratched wood structure looks great.

gorby
Remarkable scratch building!

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much for your kind comments Alec, Jennifer and gorby 🙂

Christian Bruer
The exterior is finished. I think I will add some interior because I will the hatches left open.
Happy Modelling
Christian

Jennifer Franklin
Did you paint the metal pieces to look like metal or are they real metal pieces?

Christian Bruer
Jennifer, I gues you asked about the enging grill covers. These are brass photo etch parts from a Flyhawk PE Set.

Jennifer Franklin
The brass parts look great

Christian Bruer
Yep, they're nicely done.

I decide to add some figures, crew and chatting tank drivers.

Happy Modelling
Christian

Christian Bruer
Nearly there, just a few highlights to paint and the brackets for the Schürzen to add.
Happy Modelling

Amazing paint work 👍

Mr James
Great paint chipped display. Excellent work.

Christian Bruer
Thank you Alec and Mr James 🙂

Bozo
Guau, whaouh, oucha!!!!!
I'm loosing my words. And my eyes too.
Master piece.

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much Bozo 🙂

Neuling
Excellent small scale build!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Neuling 🙂

subotai
Isn´t the rubber on the wheels a bit too clean? But nevertheless a beauty of couse 🙂
Did you use a template for the rubber? It looks so evenly painted. Mine is most times a mess 🙁

Christian Bruer
Thx subotai for your kind comment and your thoughts 🙂👍
I'd like to present mostly dry mud what stuck to the tracks and wheels, so I kept the rubber cleaner than the rest. So far following some reference photos I used to follow.
About the paintwork, I did not used a template but painted the rubber free hand along the edges of the wheels.

subotai
Ok alright, then it must be a good edge or your ruhige hand 🙂

Christian Bruer
@subotai, both 😁

Christian Bruer
Some crew figures are meanwhile painted.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Jennifer Franklin
How did you manage to get such good detail on those tiny figures?

Christian Bruer
A steady hand, small brush and good magnifying glasses.

Jan Peters
This would look great if it was 1:35th scale, in 1:72 it is sheer magic ✨
Beautiful work Christian!

Christian Bruer
Thank you Jan 🙂 And, the large scale guys have a kit, we smallscaler need to do a conversion 😁

Rui S
Another Beauty 👍

Lebloge
Splendid !

Łukasz Gliński
These folks look 35ish as well 👍

Christian Bruer
Thank you all for your kind comments 🙂

Finn
Really, really well done!

Christian Bruer
Thank you very much Finn 🙂

Christian Bruer
Three more figures are painted.
Happy Modelling

Mirko Römer
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?

Finn
Following

Mirko Römer
Well, it's not too roomy. I used material for tyre balancing in nose and behind the cockpit bulkhead, appr. 15g.

Hans-Jürgen Haag
Nice kit! Good pictures from Linköping 👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!

Mirko Römer
You're welcome anytime! I started a seperate album with pictures from the museum.

Mirko Römer
Decals went on nicely, but are a little translucent and the yelloe could be more saturated. Micro Sol ist just doing it's job...

Mirko Römer
Wheels fixed. Washes need a little more removing, when the second layer has dried.

Mirko Römer
Uppdrag fullbordat

Łukasz Gliński
Brilliant job 👍 How good is the kit?

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Shar Dipree
Great Saab J-21. 👍

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic! Congrats, Mirko!

Mirko Römer
Thank you mates for your encouraging comments!
The kit wasn't bad at all. Ok, it is not comparable to Special Hobby's recent releases, but also a big improvement over their first short run kits more than twenty years ago. It has no locator pins, panel lines are quite good, fit was almost uneventful. Instructions are excellent and you get a small pe fret with most useful parts. I also used MPM's pe parts, which are superb, but a little too bright with the green interior colour. So I had to darken these parts with washes, used IJN interior green from Tamiya and darkened the whole cockpit with corresponding intensity. Still a little too bright, but - scale effect considered - ok. Additionally I used some small photoetched lenses for the landing lights. The real downside of the kit are the decals, which are almost translucent. Decide for yourself, if you can live with them . Well, now I have to. 🙂

Oleg Smilyk
Great job,Mirko, excellent result with this kit!👍

Mirko Römer
Thanks Oleg🖖

Guy Rump
The next one of my projects will be the RAAF Boomerang by Special Hobby, a mix of plastic and resin. 🙂

Sergej I
Interesting and unusual topic 🙂 👍

Guy Rump
Made a start on the Boomerang, the cockpit is a fair number of pieces. The internal main colour is Vallejo BS Interior Green. 🙂

Welcome along Sergej, hopefully it will go together in a decent fashion! . 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Sergej I & Matti T. 👍

Moreno Baruffini
Following! I have just added it to my stash, and I also noticed that the cockpit is made by a lot of pieces!!!!!

Welcome Moreno, Nicolas & Djordje! 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Bernd G, Moreno B, Daniel K, Sukhoi242 & Derek B. 👍

Patrick Hagelstein
Looking good Guy! I kinda like the stubby purposeful shape of a Boomerang.

Guy Rump
Wings were added to the fuselage. Filler added to several parts but not too much. 🙂

Thanks for your kind comment Patrick, it was definitely a strange shape for its time! 👍

Cool build
Awesome job sir

Mark Sherwood
Excellent build/paint Guy. Much better than the Airfix 1.72 I suspect.

Guy Rump
Very many thanks Mark & Tcamp for your kind comments, I haven't built the Airfix version as yet Mark... 👍

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Zhidong Li, Bozo, Nils S, Petr K, Dave, SM, Alberto M, Tcamp & Mark S. 👍

Guy Rump
Vallejo Model Air Interior Green & Black for inside fuselage. Bomb bay, Vallejo Model Air Black & Silver for structure, BS Dark Green for bombs.

Guy Rump
Fuselage together. I am using the newer Airfix version of the Eduard masks which seem to fit the clear parts ok so far...

Guy Rump
Very welcome as usual Roland 🙂

Guy Rump
Primer on and shading completed, ready for painting very soon. 🙂

Guy Rump
Thanks Roland, it's coming along very slowly at the moment...hopefully I will get a move on and make some further progress soon 🙂

Guy Rump
Vallejo BS Dark Green and BS Earth applied to the top of aircraft. 🙂

Guy Rump
Vallejo Black applied to fuselage, wings and tail.

Guy Rump
Undercarriage engine completed. Second one almost done as well. 🙂

Guy Rump
Finally regarded as complete. My first attempt at a 4 engined bomber and my first attempt at rigging (aerial wires).

The aircraft denoted here is from 1943. PH-H (LM321) was the Squadron marking of 12 Sqn RAF. LM321 flew with a number of Squadrons including 460, 550 and 100. It was finally lost on the night of 10/11 June 1944 over Acheres.

Two pilots that flew in PH-H with 12 Squadron were Flight Leader Sqn Ldr FS Knight and Pilot Officer Thomas Forbes.
Thomas Forbes flew PH-H on 22 June 1943 on an operation to Mulheim whilst serving with 12 Sqn C Flight. Plt Offr Forbes was killed in action on an operation to Turin on 12 July 1943.
C Flight leader Sqn Ldr Knight and his crew failed to return from an operation to Cologne on 28 June 1943. Four are buried in Dutch cemeteries and three are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. Their average age was 23.
