« on: May 18, 2022, 08:14:59 PM »
I purchased this 1/35 scale Accurate Armour Spartan APC at Telford in 2019.
It's an all resin kit so will have to see how i get on.
Started by removing the casting blocks from the hull top and bottom.

Modelling Projects / Israeli M1 Sherman
« on: March 13, 2022, 04:01:53 PM »
Whilst waiting for some bits to finish my M51 Sherman I started this 1/35 Tamiya M1 Super Sherman, I've read that this is really just a late M4A1 76mm Sherman, but a lovely kit. I have some Star Decals to go with this one.

Modelling Projects / A13 Cruiser Tank
« on: February 13, 2022, 06:37:26 PM »
Next on the line is the 1/35 scale Bronco A13 Cruiser tank.
I've started putting the suspension and hull together, the upper hull on this kit is twisted so will need a bit of fiddling and extra glue to hold it down.
I remember Jeff building one of this a few years ago saying the tracks where a little short, some kit reviews say the same, so I've tried a little bit of stretching of the tracks and it slowly seems to work will see how good this turns out when i try to fit them.

getting a bit tied up with the tracks on my light tank, so need a bit of a rest from it.
I'm going to start this 1/35 Scale Tamiya M51 Israeli Sherman, it might even be the start of an Israeli theme.
Anyway this is the box lid.

It's a 1/35 scale British light tank mark VI B, by a firm called Vulcan,it was used early in WWII, once again itt's one of them kits that have to many parts, why do in two when you can have ten. hopefully it will be ready for the next club night. As you can see you even get a free cutting mat.

Modelling Projects / Warrior APC
« on: August 18, 2021, 07:51:00 PM »
This is the Academy 1/35 scale warrior boxed as Iraq 2003. I believe that this is the updated version from an earlier Academy boxing. I started it in April last year got a bit fed up with it, for no real reason, and put it away, got it out again last week with the aim to finish it soon. I bought a set of Star decals for a Balkan version so when finished it will be dirty white.
I'm trying to get some unfinished ones done.

Modelling Projects / Hobbyboss Landrover WMIK
« on: August 06, 2021, 01:59:09 PM »
This is the 1/35 scale Hobbyboss Landrover WMIK.
I made the original kit straight out of the box sometime early 2019. it looked a bit basic so a month or so back I got it out and started to updated it, I used some black dog and Accurate Armour bits. The figures are from a Master Box set. It looks a lot better now.
Usual paints, Tamiya, Hataka and Ammo Mig.

Modelling Projects / Cromwell ARV
« on: February 16, 2021, 02:48:08 PM »
Started this Cromwell Armoured Recovery Vehicle a couple of days ago. 1/35 Tamiya Cromwell as the donor kit with Accurate Armour conversion kit. the inside is scratch built after finding a couple of this on the internet.
I've got a few other Cromwell ideas so might end up with a squadron of Cromwell's.

Modelling Projects / Cromwell DW
« on: January 04, 2021, 08:15:11 PM »
I'm continuing the Cromwell saga by converting the Tamiya kit into a Cromwell DW using Accurate Armour sets.
I've already cut the hull top to convert the drivers area into a Vauxhall hatch and the engine deck to turn it into a D model, most of the rivets have to be removed to turn it into a welded hull type, hence the DW. I will post a picture when all of the converting has taken place.

Modelling Projects / Panzer II
« on: December 10, 2020, 11:40:44 AM »
This the 1/35 scale Tamiya Panzer II. I started it in February-March of this year ready for the May club night but as we went into lockdown it was put to one side.
It's out of the box, a good kit finished with a MiniArt crew figure.

This is going to be my next project whilst waiting for some bits to arrive to finish the Cromwell, it's a MiniArt Dingo I bought at a model show last year.
If you've forgotten model shows are where you get up in the middle of the night drive to the location set up walk about have a chat spend lots of cash pack up drive home wait for the next one and repeat, those where the days.
