I'm in with a P-47 Thunderbolt with german markings:

I'll use Tamiya's 1:48 Razorback kit with a little bit of AM stuff (seatbelts, gun barrels, engine and decals)

This will be a crossover with the Reich Defenders GB.

Looks nice, Greg!

I am thinking of converting one of them to a SPG at some point...

Thank you, Clemens!  IIRC, they have an SPG called a Basilisk(?) but on a different chassis.

Here's the built chassis.  Still needs a bit of putty before paint.

Yes, they do have a SPG, but I think it looks awful...

Hi Owl,

I entered with an Academy 1/72 Tempest, but I would like to do an Academy 1/72 Typhoon instead please. Starting now.

Cheers

Tony, I would just go ahead. I am not sure if OWL will be back for a while. Look forward to seeing it.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks Bish, well, here's the start of it.

Here's what you get, including the CMK cockpit set for it.:

I've also bought this kit, to use the D-Day scheme from it. The rest of it will feature in a later build.

The scheme I want is the one on the left.

And a little bit of progress, in between building and painting my Draken. I've drilled out the spent shell ejection chutes, which were molded as shallow depressions, and flattened the tyres.

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

Alright now folks....time to don your favorite sunglasses as this one's pretty bright!  My Household-6 asked it it came with a dimmer switch?! Huh?

I finally got some time to work on the Whirlwind and managed a basecoat of.....MM SUBLIME! from their Custom Lacquer System

 

Detail painting and markings to follow - hopefully tonight.

Bit more progress on the Tiffie, it's ready for a wash and some paint now. I cut out the kit exhausts, which were ordinary, and inserted some Quickboost ones. You can see how I had to add some plastic strip to fix where I butchered it in the close up.

It's got a CMK cockpit set. It's didn't fit to owell, as it was too bulky to fit between the wheel wells and prevented the wing from joining to the fuselage. I used my Dremel to grind quite abit of resin of the set, and some plastic off the inside of the  wheel wells.

Cheers

Primed it. Needs a small amount of tidying up only. This is my first time with Mr Surfacer 1000, love it.

Cheers
