Humber Armoured Car Mk II, 11th Hussars, 7th Armoured Division 'Desert Rats'

Image
Finished today for the 'Actung Panzer GB' over on Britmodeller, the Bronco Humber Armoured Car Mk II  OOB . This is a lovely kit but not for the faint hearted. It doesn't have a full interior, it's a complete armoured car - chassis, control linkages, engine, gear change and lots of gear inside. Painted with AK Interactive Light Stone ( From their Caunter Set ), Tamiya paints for the rest of the cammo, and Vallejo for the details. Weathered with a full range of AK Interactive / Ammo / Mig potions and pigments.

Finished this weekend, the lovely Tasca Sherman "Easy Eight" in a Tamiya Box. Built as a vehicle from the 4th Armoured Div, on the drive to relieve Bastogne. OOB apart from some Resin Stowage, and some home made C-Ration cartons. Peter

1/72nd Revell Halifax GR II

Finished yesterday, definitely not one of my better ones but fun none the less. The Freightdog resin fits really well and corrects some of the flaws, but it's still a fun kit to build. The white was a real pain but it's a cracking scheme so worth the effort. Also a nice timely reminder as to why I rarely work in 1/72nd, the masking was a royal pain. Peter

1/35th Dragon Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf E, Tiger I (late)

Image
Finished at the on 16th Nov  - OOB except Friulmetal tracks and Apoxie Sculp Zimmeritt. Painted with Ammo paints, and weathered with just about anything to hand. Definately one of the better Dragon kit's i've built only real pain was the Zimmeritt, and thats more repetitive than difficult. Peter

1/48th Focke Wulf 190 A-5,I./JG54Grünherz, Orel, Winter 1943

Image
Finished this morning, built as a quick simple build after the Spitfire. This is the same aircraft as the Walter NOWOTNY scheme, but with a different pilot at a later time in Winter Distemper. This was done to try AMMO Washable White paint, which works really well. Painted with Gunze throughout, apart from the AMMO Washable White, and weathered with Oils. Peter

1/32nd Spitfire Mk VIII, 152 Sqn, Burma, 1944

Image
Finished today, this is the Tamiya 1/32nd Spitfire VIII kit with extras from Barracuda, Eduard, Master, Quickboost and Radub. Constructed as one of 152 Sqdn's mounts from Burma in late 1944. Painted mainly with Gunze Aqueous paints, and weathered with pastels and oils. Mostly loved this kit, but the Engine cowlings are a pain ( might be due to the AM rocker covers), and some of the swappable parts are basically pointless. Also you are left with holes to fit the slipper tank. I am happy how it's turned out though. Peter
