Trumpeter Sd.Kfz. 7/1 (early) with Flakvierling

Work continues on the Trumpeter kit.

I completed the firewall, exhausts and flak mount then primed and painted everything as well as putting a metal coat on the exhaust system. I then weathered it with Mig Pigments and AK interactive dark streaking grime and dark wash.

Miniart SU-85

I received this kit last week and man is this one is a beast. I had it on pre-order at Hobbylink Japan and got it for a respectable price. The reviews of this kit have been very positive thus far. I am really looking forward to building this one in the future.

As you can see Miniart has dispensed with the formality of packaging individual sprues.Just throw them all into one big bag. Not very refined I must say but hopefully the parts are not scratched to all rat shit.

1/32 Revell Spitfire MK IIa

I haven't really posted any pics of my work on the Revell Spitfire I have been working on for quite a while. I still haven't progressed past the cockpit but I am hoping to move forward on this build soon. I am presently working on the Cockpit harness and oxygen line. Here are some pics from the build which I am doing over on Large Scale Planes. The pit is just dry fitted in these pictures

Tracks more less complete now. I used Humbrol enamel metalizers black and gun metal. I primed the tracks first with Tamiya Metal primer, sprayed the mixture on then when dry used a Q-Tip and paper towel to buff everything out. Finally I painted the rubber track blocks black. The tracks on the left side are on backward. Oh well. Everything is just dry fitted.

I recently purchased some of the MIG AMMO Dunkelgelb colours, ie. Mid War, DGI and DGIII. I like the colour of the DGIII as it closely resembles the color of the vehicle in the picture I posted previously. I sprayed the paint on but it took a long time to dry which I found unusual. The instruction on the bottle say let dry 24 hours but even after 24 hours it was still a bit tacky to the touch. This was my first time using these paints and I was not expecting that. The paint also dries with a satin finish not dead flat. This is not a problem ad weathering and filters will most likely take this away...I hope.
