Hmm. I actually finished my build for this. I posted one pic I think...

But I did post my finished build pics on the AC forum some time ago.

I haven't checked in here in a long while, but am glad to see that we are still all plugging along at the speed of super - slow. I havent even done more than look at the bok holding my 1/48 mustang and all the goodies since I moved in. Been way too busy at work and still getting the house set up to get back to it. But I figure that I will finish since I do have untill the end of forever!!! But I dont intend to be the last guy finishing on this gb!!!!

Thanks Arki, I know they say you aren't supposed to use other people's builds as reference, but my skills / knowledge are still at the place where other people's builds really help me.

Haven't checked in for awhile. Sorry...

I have a little progress on my thunderbolt. I am pretty much done with detailing my wheel wells. Sorry the pictures aren't very good, but I was too lazy to set up the whole lighting setup.

Here are the pieces. I added wire, some with insulation still on and some with it stripped. It definately is not all that is in a true wheel well, but it serves as a decent (I hope) representation.

A closer shot of one of the wells.

Now I need to be completely honest here for my conscience. I did look at and try to use pictures of real wheel wells, but when it came down to it, I used a nice build-up article from Tony Bell to really help me decide what to do.

Hope all is well.

Hmmmm.... I like T-34s. Especially T-34/76 model 1940 and 1941. Friulmodel makes very nice track sets for those, as does Modelkasten.

Trakz makes a BEAUTIFUL resin interior for the Dragon kit, but this might not meet your requirements since it has dozens of pieces and is by far the most complicated resin set I've ever seen.

I have a DML T-34/76 with a CMD resin turret conversion, Modelaksten tracks, Aber PE, and a Trakz resin interior, but that is a project for another time. A really really long other time...

there's really not much resin available for armor except interiors and conversions, so you might want to try some PE and Friuls instead.

I don't know what to build for this. I need your guys help. I want to do some armor with Fruils and something with resin. Just a little bit of resin b/c this'll be my first time using it. Any suggestions?

TANKY PRIMES!!!!!!!!! TANKY SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There seem to be no major issues that need correcting (knock on wood).

After a thorough clean up (some rescribes, a bit more sanding, and a few pieces to attach) IT'S PAINT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm working on the gunbays for my spitifre now. I'll post pics when I've got them attached and the issues worked out.

DAMN, though, this gunbay set is nightmarish. 2 steps forward, one step back. The fit is terrible... I'll just continue my war against it though.
