The hull paint and the banged up look both look great!

I've not really been following this one for some reason, shame on me! :-X  Great work going on here. :party:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I was putting the turrets together today ( Birthday treat for myself ;) ) when I discovered a little problem - the Vulcan doesn't depress far enough! :banghead:

So, I'm in the process of modifying the set-up & it seems I'm on the right track. ;D

Slowly (Oh, so slowly!) coming together! :thumbsup:

No new pic's yet, Cap'n. Hopefully soon.

Then I'll have to gloss coat, decal & dull coat & she should be done.

Waiting for pic's to upload to PhotoBucket ............................... Waiting! ............................... Waiting! ............................... Waiting! ............................... Still waiting!

OK! Done!

You may now see how little progress has progressed. :blink:

































Need to do quite a few small bits, still.

Ropes & cables for the anchors.
Gloss coat & decals.
DullKote & weathering (rust & repainted sections - which scares the willies out of me, on the fair chance I'll f-up).
Remove masking & paint final details (nav lights, dial glazing, etc.).

For those of you who know the Italeri M163, you may notice that I scratch-built "working" hydraulic pistons for the gun elevation system.


Cheers! :cheers:

Thanks for watching, guys! :bow:

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Brill stuff, that twin main gun is really impressive! Where would I have seen that before?  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

M42 Duster.  Now that would look good on the back of a mid 60's pickup to make a period correct Techical.

Tremendous workmanship  :bow:

I've always wondered what would have happened with this Riverine boats if they hit any kind of sea ? They looked very top heavy to me, especially when all the guys were sunbathing up top. I suppose it was a case of get as much firepower as you could on them in order to supress any incoming ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
