A Tamiya Tiger metal tracks/barrel first time on both.I have gloss cleared acrylic Tamy brown wash and Florry's sand.I have now sealed that with Testors semi-gloss Florry's sand will be applied again it sticks a little more to the semi them some powders.I totally just made up the camo pattern the pics/print was kinda this and not colors are close methink.This is a test bed.

The San Diego slowly moves forward still a lifeboat davit L/side and rear anchor.😉 will have to induce some light later for final pics.

These kits build up into a Nice representation John....Very Nice!!😉

Nice panel shading John!😉

mine neither😆

I have found Ricardo and think the quality and assembly of ICM's AC is on par to Tamiya with a slightly lighter in the pocket book effect.The subject matter is becoming more of interest in their line of AC over the staples of Hasegawa and Tamiya with ICM producing multi-engine AC the other manufactures forget about in 1/48 scale.The build looks spot on in my book great looking AC!😉

What's the difference Martin?

Thanks martin she slowly starting to get that look.😉

After getting a couple planes completed I came back to the San Diego.I still have a bit of work but good progress has been made in the last week. This pic here was to show the Double 40's from Bunker Studio's I have come to use that line almost extensively you you see the single 20's also. Just a different angle of the doubles. The Quad 40's in the back followed up by some 20's these were late to the party being added so a little clear and a wash. Just a full view like I said still a bit here and there but should be finished in 3/4 weeks methinks?

Nice ones Carl and you could not tell the Revell from a Hase or this case a ZM both look great!!😉

Looking very Nice Ricardo 😉

So something for inspiration Martin watch this guy alot no AI Vichey French in Syria has the whole battle the D520 was a decent plane. https://youtu.be/a2rZXFlHFyA?si=GZfBBvgVQbkSjDq4

That is a really good looking Ju-87 a kit kind of plain by today's standards your upgrades paid off.

Calling these two done nothing great silver finish is arrgh!but not a loss.The 109 came out pretty decent for a kit from 1992 molds!The glass plate you know how at times we lose those formation lights....well I did not lose any this time but forgot to install the under wing lights on the P-51.I started thinking I have this water base glass maker we use on bomber windows and I have water base Tamyia clear colors hmmnn?I mixed them and they work great.I discarded the wing-tip lights on the 51 and cut them off of the 109 just have a hole for an anchor and wy-la lights!!😉

All three are rotating right now P-51 aerial and twu clear lights=done,Tamiya Tiger individual tracks and the ole Me-109 E Hasegawa paid $10 at a show.The 109 is OOB except the belts decided to go retro seeing how the modeling world now likes raised rivets actually it does not look bad at all to be honest.I think my mottling was just a tad heavy it is what it is at this point a quick fun build.
