Don’t resist, you will not be disappointed. And paint flinging has begun. A very pain free quick build. Thanks! very. Pity work gets in the way 🤣 Thanks John, a perfect kit for when you hit the doldrums. Ha, not quite. Painting of the main scheme this weekend. Used the last dregs of Tamiya Matt Black Acrylic as a primer - looks ugly but will do the job. A couple of coats of Vallejo 70.987 Bronze Green And here is where I am at this evening. The red is Vallejo 70.817 Scarlet. The wheels have had a primer coat of Tamiya XF85 Rubber Black and the hubs roughly painted with Vallejo Bronze Green. Just need a bit of tidying up. The exhaust and muffler have a coat of Vallejo 70.865 Oily Steel, prior to some rust effects coming up next weekend. Just a bit of sanding and touchups needed to finish off the main scheme.

Waiting to see them appear downunder…

Been a bit out of sorts recently, with the weather not being very helpful as far as painting goes (too hot) so my M36 build has stalled. It has been a public holiday weekend here in Western Australia, and I managed to snag the Airfix Ferret Mk 2 a few weeks ago - ideal for a quick build. Nothing fancy. Going to do it all sealed up in the colours of a BATUS range safety vehicle. Saturday afternoon Sunday night (wheels just blu-tacked on) and here is where i am at this evening. Fabulous fun, everything fitted really well. Just a few little bits of cleaning up, and it will be ready for paint.

Not got much done the last few weeks - work commitments, some family health issues and the heat has not been conducive to painting. Added a variety of bits and pieces to the upper hull sides. Hatches (which I will leave open). Finished off the rear of the lower hull. Tried a dilute wash of Vallejo Model Air NATO Black and Anthracite Grey to the lower part of the hull.

Lovely work - great work on the base as well.

The hard work was worth it - looks great.

That looks great. Nice collection of unusual subjects.

Fantastic! Beautifully presented.

I was gifted the Takom Mk 10 for Christmas. A very enjoyable build. Build log here; Ready for inspection here:

I wondered what you meant for a minute John, but then twigged. Quick look at BNAModelworld and I found the following: https://www.bnamodelworld.com.au/model-figures-heads-hornet-hor-huh08 Im guessing this is what you meant?

Thanks @bigfoot, I hadn’t intended to. I do have this figure from an Asuka Sherman, but not sure it would be period appropriate. To be honest, work on this (and my other kit on the go) has stalled during the rather warm weather we are having at the moment. My hobby room is hovering around 28 to 30 degrees C most evenings. Hoping next weekend is cooler!

So tiny! Lovely work.

What an unusual subject! Beautifully finished - bet it takes a lot of space up.

My attempt to semi scratch build the missing part by modifying parts from a disassembled Bronco A10 Cruiser. Carefully sliced one end off Combined a second spring from the A10. This was trimmed to length and the end piece added, to provide the finished replacement. Close enough considering it’s mostly hidden?

Fantastic, and beautifully presented. Well worth the wait!
