Outstanding work. Indeed Airfix has stepped up their game. Thanks for sharing.

COMPLETED...The new Airfix kit is outstanding. Added paper tanks from Hasegawa kit and aftermarket decals.

Old Hasegawa B. Still a nice kit

Decals and gloss coat on. The 357th FG decals were a mess. Anything red or yellow was very stiff and would crack. Had to use micro sol just to get them conform. Still drying from gloss coat

Looking REALLY GOOD! Keep it up, and I'm envious you model in 1/72nd. My eyes are just not that good. 1/48 is a challenge. :-(

Can't wait to see the progress.

They are looking good my friend!! Plus I give you big props for building 1/72 scale, I would have a great deal of trouble putting those together. (BHS) Big Hand Syndrome. Big Smile Again Johnny your off to an outstanding job and will definitely be watching.
