Been a while since i had 3 to add, larley thanks to spending 3 months on one build. Here are my next trio.

My first 1/35th resin vehicle, Accurate Armours SNATCH Land Rover on Op Banner, N Ireland.

And the one that took me so long. Another first, this tie my first 72nd ship, Revell's S-100.

And then Hasegawa's 1/72nd Me 262B-1a.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Tamiya Tropical 109.

Hesagawa P40E I painted this to match the P40F that was displayed in FSM book American Fighters Over Europe. Flown by 2nd LT MacArthur Powers during the battle of Egypt where he scored 7.25 Kills. Not a great pic as I was unable to pick up the pinkish tones I used to show paint fading like it did.

Tamiya F4U-1A  I stumbled on a photo this particular plane being part of the Blacksheep Squadron but that was all the info it gave. The 95 may have been smaller but I based it off measurments of decals that came with the kit. All markings are painted on.

All my work is painted with Tamiya Acrylics and weathered with pastels and colored pencils.

I stand corrected. I forgot all about that movie. The angular features of the nose threw me off. Great models nonetheless.

Nice job Bruce.

I thought the exhaust port was "only 2 meters wide", that looks more like 4 Big Smile

Gentlemen,

My apologies, the Bandai engineers were tasked to take measurements BEFORE the battle Yavin, however, they did not make the trip until after the battle. I heard there may have been issues, and some minor complaints, because measurements were off a bit. Really not sure why? Whistling

Nice trio!  I recall seeing the starwars dio and the merkava but what is the other tank?

 

 
John,
 
It's a Japanese Type 4 Chi-To medium tank. It was design to compete against a Sherman, however, only 4 were built, and none saw combat.

These three were shelf of doom rescues that I’d either messed up on or lost parts to.
 
 
Tamiya 1/35 Jagdpanzer 38t. Not happy with the ambush scheme at least it’s done.
Dragon 1/35 Tiger I Ausf. E Late production built as an inaccurate Wittmann’s command Tiger. Just made mistake after mistake on this kit and the instructions didn’t help. I finally got to the point of finishing it just to get it off the shelf.
 
Tamiya 1/35 Panzer II Ausf. C. This is the only one out of the three I’m sort of happy with. The Tamiya decals really fought me and as look as you don’t look at the rear of the turret it’s an alright looking model.

Templar - is that an Opal Blitz?

Sorry Dog don't know about the Blitz. The Olympia was a attempt to copy a sculpture of it that I saw in Ca. Just hit me as a static object subjected to time.It's posted. Thanks for the comments.

Templar - is that an Opal Blitz?  Built a 1/72 version ages ago.  Very nice.  I've always thought the BMP was a cool looking vehichle nice work.  And man, that Olympia has seen better days ;)  Really nice work on the heavy weathering

Mark - Seaview looks super - really like the base.  That voyager probe is on my wish list and it looks like you got the PE kit as well - fantastic.

Thanks,

John

I can remember just two of the last models I attempted to build back in the late 80's before I stopped building them.

  • 1:35 LAV-25 Piranha
  • 1/18 Scale APC Vehicle (Aliens)

I remeber melting a long section of the plastic tree in order to create the long antennas for the LAV
