Well i'm working on a big Trumpeter Harrier - just finished the cockpit with the Aires resin set

Finished today, the Ace P-51 (ex Accurate Minatures). This is the Allison Engined P-51 with 4 x 20mm cannon, not built in large numbers and a bit different. Painted with Gunze acrylics, weathered with Oils, Pastels and Mig Washes Build thread is available  here Peter

After the Panther wanted something simple so picked out the Ace P-51. This is the early cannon armed Allison Engined Mustang. The ACE kit is a Korean boxing of the Accurate Miniatures kit, and is nice and simple As is normal work starts with the cockpit - first the instrument panel Then built up the cockpit and sidewalls Fitted the fuselage halves together then slotted the instrument panel in from the front Finally fitted the Allison engine nose, and filled the small gaps with some Mr Dissolved Putty, then sanded back Peter

Panther Ausf D. 24th Panzer Regt, 4th Coy, Late August 1944  Dragon 1/35th Premium kit, Fruimetal Tracks, Panzer Ace Spare Wheels and Aber Antenna. Build thread available  here Painted with Model Air, Gunze. Weathered with Ak, Mig and Pigments Peter

Finished this morning, one of my favourite kits the Eduard Aircobra, this time in the Special Edition MTO Theatre boxing. Painted with Gunze throughout, and weathered with Pastels, Oils and AK and Mig Solutions.   The build thread is available if interested  here   Apologies for the slightly uneven photos, but one of my lamps bulbs went part way through, so the white balance was tricky - if it ever stops snowing I may take some more outside.

Started this yesterday Finished the cockpit now, and got the fuselage buttoned up  Peter 

Well it's done - an Interesting kit, not bad fitting but overly fiddly in places, and I really wish Great Wall Hobbies learnt that wing spars are a good idea. Their masks don't work very well, the vinyl is too thick and not sticky enough. Peter
