Thanks, Glamdring and nice Panzer II! Any photo favorite? 

Great to have you modeling with us; you can proudly claim a GB badge of your choice! Big Smile

 

 

 

I certainly will! 

I am partial to picture #3, profile shots are always my preference. 

 

I agree, Picture 3 it is! Thanks for participating!

Got started about 10.00 this morning, finished off the lorry & started the gun:

A tiny touch of filler:

Then some paint:

And, after a coat of Pledge, the decals.  This was the only part of the kit to disappoint - the carrier film extended so far beyond the small markings the wouldn't fit properly - when they're thoroughly dry I'll have to trim them, if I can.  The British roundel on the cab roof is a fair bit bigger than indicated on the instruction sheet, but is less of a problem.

Well, that's it.  Finished, and within deadline (only just!).  Apologies for the last-minute rush, due to several things but, ultimately, down to me.  Thank you again for your forbearance, and for running this GB - I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Stay safe,

               Hutch.

Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?

Wow! You did indeed make it in time, Hutch! Good work! 

Do you have a photo preference for the roster?

I think the second-last photo is about the best.

Again, many thanks, John, and best wishes for the New Year!

I'll leave these as the final pictures for my 1/48 Tamiya Wildcat. While the aftermarket decals I used didn't work out great, at least the paint job and base turned out fine. Whew!

Very good work, TJ! I'll get the pictures added to the roster! 

Thank you for participating and feel free to claim a badge!

 

(PS- They were both the same kit? The Accurate Miniatures F-6A Mustang, right? Thx.)

Those ponies look terrific, TJ, and so does your Wildcat, John - I really like the base!

In case anyone's wondering what happened to my photos, I had a bit of an accident with my on-site host.  I can't find the originals, although I'm sure I've got them somewhere Embarrassed.  If I can find them, I'll replace them.

Thank you, Hutch! The base took some time!

I hope that you won't have too much trouble with the pics. Tech can be a pain, can't it?
