Nice one John😀

Well, Hello....... Despite deciding to "cool it awhile" about buying many more kits, I have added some more to my stash..... But , hear me out......these are kits that fall into the category of kits I passed up in the past for whatever reason at the time, but now changed my mind. First of these is Bronco's US M22 "Locust" Airborne Tank (T9E1). I wanted to build a Locust for some time. Looks like a nice kit, but promises to be small and Fiddly. Next from Lanmo is their BA-64B Soviet Light Armored Car. (MM35003). This tiny kit has a full interior and engine. Nice Next is from IBG. It's their OTTER light Reconnaissance Car (35019). An odd-looking Canadian armored car from WW II. This thing has been on my radar for some time. No less than twelve sprues in this kit😀 Finally, from Tamiya, their new RSO/01 German Tractor (35394). I was as surprised as most when they announced this kit and knew I had to get one. A cool little vehicle similar to the Soviet Voroshilovets tractor I built a while back. I also have the Miniart (ManyPart) version and already have some Friulmodel tracks that I purchased at that time. All these kits appear to be pretty nice, and are of interesting subjects. Because of its size and its many tiny parts, the Locust may be a challenging build. It's the first Bronco kit I bought and It has left a favorable impression. Too bad I didn't look into this brand earlier. Well, I hope some have found this posting interesting or useful😀

Looking great😀

Same here....my photos can never be considered art😉

Awesome project😀

Some useful stuff today........ First some airbrush parts from H&S. A 4ml cup and lid for the Infinity 2024 CRplus / Giraldez airbrushes. Yes, as Doc Rob said this larger cup will work on the Giraldez.. Here it is on my H&S Giraldez Mk. II. Also some Friulmodel tracks.... ATL-89. Sherman T-66 type ATL-160. Mk. V (26 1/2 inch-67.31 wide track). Meant for the Mk. V, V*,V** tanks I bought them for my Takom Mk.V. I've been reading up on this tank lately. Interesting, especially it's post WW I history use by both sides of Russia's civil war, Estonia, and even WW II😀. The Takom kit has some interesting decal choices. Lastly , a big pack of BluTack......Because, well, Why not? Well anyway, I was able to get back home and sit at my work bench for a bit - didn't really get anything done-but I managed to get things organized to continue where I left off. I was glad to find the H&S parts I needed. I now have 2 of the larger cups one to use on my Giraldez Mk II and the other on my Infinity 2024 CR plus. I should have bought the 2 in 1 version in the first place. I will now, when I can, get the larger .44 Headset to make things complete. Regards; Paul.

Actually, I think they had a steel rim and they had wooden panels covering the sides of the wheels. There is a restoration video showing the wood and this is represented on the wheels. I'll try to find the video. It's a good video, the wheels are mentioned @ 4:30 into the film. I should have said "wood covered" wheels. Later tanks had pressed steel covers.

Well, this is the "bucket list" kit I mentioned I was expecting in a earlier post; It's Takom's "3 in 1" boxing of their French Light Tank Renault FT ( No. 1004 ) In 1/16 scale. Not available for some time, this boxing offers, Two turret options, mg or cannon, and choice of wood or all steel idler wheels. Also includes several decal options. This is apparently a re-release, as the instructions show ads for more recent kits such as their Swiss G-13. A while back, I had planned to build a Hotchkiss equipped, Berliet turret , Brazilian version of this tank. I found, however, that the decal sheet's (FC Model Tip) version of the unit decal was incorrect. I found this image online that was correct and printed my own decals. This tank's markings celebrated a past battle in Paraguay. I'll have to cut them from the sheet. Anyway, We'll see how that goes😀 Well, that's the plan anyway😀 I've gathered up some replacement springs, scale rope, and some tiny chain in the time I've been planing on doing this. Again, hope some of you find this interesting or useful.

Nice😀 Always thought the Eagle was one of the cooler TV scifi spacecraft......... Next to the Enterprise, of course.

Nice😀
