Looking good Glenn ! Love the look of that halftrack.

Back with 2 of 3 now with the back done. Before I finished working on her I started the frame for the canvas top, (couldn't find a Kubelwagen when I wanted one!) but I'll get back to it next month.

Great builds Glenn.

Is your halftrack going to be an early Bombardier snow machine ? Looks very similar ! Love the new truck as well.

This is how I finished the 1/2 track in June........looks a little different now!

Back with Dan's scout ship from " Visit of the Earthmen" a 1960's story. The model is scaled at 1/32 and at present am working on the cockpit.

Do you have the Haynes Dan Dare Manual Chris? It's full of stuff on all of the different spacecraft, the 'Astral Queen', 'Anastasia' of course and the 'J Type Space Stations' to name but a few.

No I haven't Kit. I'll have to look it out

As you can see written on the side of the box, I originally bought this kit for another purpose. A mate in Scotland told me that this was the worst Airfix model he had ever bought and I couldn't believe that until I assembled the engine and tried to place it into the fuselage..........ouch! It wouldn't fit...then I realized what he meant!

Anyhow, I've found a different purpose for it now.......not started as yet.

Love the scout ship ! Looks like an old school racing boat.

When I originally built this IL-2 as a radial, Tophe said it had been done post WW2. As I was half way through the construction.....I had to do something else, and this is how it turned out!

Glenn

Does it remind you of anything, with the radial engine, I mean?

Tophe · October 03, 2014, 09:18:12 PM

Wonderful! I am truly happy my sources led to create this marvel...

Glenn · October 04, 2014, 12:30:13 AM

The engine is two Beaufort cowlings glued together......once you see the side view, then the shape will be revealed.
