Duck Hunter GB

Thanks, I'll try it.

Hey Jibber,

Great job on the Ostwind!  I updated the front page with your build.  If you want a different pic just let me know.

Thanks, I think that shows it well.

Great job on the Ostwind Jibber. I really like the camo and finish.

Very effective display on the Dana Wayne, nice work.

I got the green part of the camo done on my Mobelwagen, I'm thinking of doing the red brown now.

Cheers

Tony

Tony, liking the scheme.

I made some more progress on the M16!

I added all the little detail parts to the frame and assembled the front drive shaft (?) as well as the drive sprockets and the idler wheels for the track system.

Some close-ups of the detail on the frame:

Did I mention that I love the amount of detail in this kit?

Everything put together (not glued yet):

Cheers, Clemens 

Jibber: Very nice work there! I like the figures!

Tony: She's looking great! I can't wait to see some pics with the brown paint on!

The camo is done Clemens, thanks,  I just need a session with the camera, and then the weathering starts.

Cheers

Tony

well the M-16 chassis looks familiar

Some nice detail in there Clemens, its coming on nicely.

That is some beautiful work and detail there Clemens.

Thanks guys!

I have a question regarding the engine of my halftrack: What color is it supposed to be? The dragon instructions don't have any color callouts at all...

i think i painted mine OD but, if it isn't going to show i wouldn;t worry too much. the engine block on the tractor of my PLA  DF-21 is orange and i painted the engine block of my DANA red just to add some color and painted the engine compartment dirty white. after washed etal it will look military.

I'll stick to OD as well then. Makes painting easier anyway (no masking for the engine required).

hey bish and eagle add the trumpeter 1/35 JGSDF TYPE 87 SPAA which i won't start until 01jan14 and WOO HOO  my bronco 1/34 88mm FLAK 41 SPAA arrived today.

Two more Wayne!  Dude, you goin' for the gold!  Great work Wayne!  Lovin' the builds you're doing!

Can't wait to see that bronco kit wayne. I was doing a bit of reading into that after it was mentioned a couple of weeks back.

And I just realised that will be 5 for you as well. You like a challenge what with all your other builds.

well may not get the 88 done for this but the TYPE 87 will also go toward japanese III. picked up another PLA apc in the sale bin. i must be the only guy in denver doing JGSDF and PLA stuff. i could do my own western pacific rim GB.

there is a finished GRILLE in armor. i will camo mine. indy track but looks like 2 pins per track block. so much for swearing off tracks.

now if hobbyboss would put out a PLA SPAA. just saw a pick and the turret looks very close to the JGSDF one. and cool digital camo.

You might need a new sprue cutter............

Well, we can see how it goes wayne, you certainly have a lot on the bench.

ok i'm a tad anal. was at my ship workshop on saturday so i took my tamiya FLAK 36/37 i bought when it first came out in early '80s and never did much with. i can't paint there so it's build time. got home to a broke modem so was off line sat evening and sunday. not sure what i'm doing with it, not even sure if it;s going to be emplaced or on the trailers w/ or w/o crew.. not even sure what year as yet. may try some new paint techniques like priming with a brown as a pre shading. will start on gun today.

Good grief....it's been two months since I posted about my DIVADS!

Here's the hull...it's ready for paint (hopefully, tonight)  

Now the turrret

the hull and turret mated  

pyrman64, looking good!  Nice work!

hey greg

i have one of those in the stash. you going to do it with MERDC desert camo?

hey greg

Neither......plain-jane olive green(drab).  I'm going to attempt a gate guard-type display with it on concrete pads.

Nice work their guys. Both those kits bring back memories.

I was looking over the Merit kit today. I had hoped their was markings for the DAK as I had fancied doing it in a desert scheme, but unfortunately they are not included.

if you can print them i can make them. none of my 88s are DAK either. the one i'm building is the original w/ith apanese instructions. too bad i swapped the halftrack for a RR gun.

I think I might just paint it in DAK colours and not put any markings on. A lot of the pics I have seen seem to show guns with nothing on them any way. maybe just use some kill rings round the barrel. But thanks for the offer.

Hi Folks,

I've finished my 1/48 Mobelwagen, which makes it three for me. Here are the pics. It's one of three AFV kits I plan to finish this weekend.

Next one up will be the Ostwind, but I need to finish off a few others first.

Cheers

Tony
