Exactly. As I'm planning to convert the Airfix Mauretania in to the Lusitania I have to follow this. Not only that. Looking at the pictures I think I found a solution to a problem I have on another kit. Thank you for that.

or better: in 1/72?

I used two sets for my build. I think that I used the 8.8 mm for the front wheels and the outer rear wheels and the slightly smaller 8.6 mm for the inner rear wheels and a spare wheel. There are an awful lot of wheels on that tiny car. 🙂

I used the 8,6 and 8,8 mm wheels from this set

Buy just one bottle to test if you like Vallejo. Being a Tamiya/Gunze acrylic user, I never got to term with Vallejo. I finally gave most of them away.

Don't feel bad for not finish it in time in the GB. I started min 16 years ago and haven't finished it yet.😀 I like what you did to the surface of the turret and hull front.

I have been planning to build a Turkish Fokker E.III for a long time. Look like a standard German plane with overpainted national markings: http://www.wardrawings.be/WW1/Files/2-Airplanes/Centrists/Others/Ottoman-Empire/1-Fighters/Fokker-E3.htm

They are of two different versions. The Masterbox is a Mk.I (with or without tail wheels) and Emhar is a Mk.IV. The main visible difference would be the guns and the sponson's ("side turets"). Emhar (on the right) made a misstake with their sponson's. On the Mk.IV they were pulled inward so the rear wall should be angered a little bit forward but the kit have them straight out like the Mk.I of Masterbox. There are replacement resin sponson's to be found but I have tried to fix mine by cutting the rear wall off an alter the angle of it. The grey things on the roof of my Mk.I is some kind of jibs used to remove the sponson of the Mk.I and should not be on the tank during action. In my opinion the Emhar kit is a little bit trickier to assembly but not worse than that I have built four and started on number five.

The bagged issue of the Minicraft DC-8 has both versions of engines included. So if using the 70-series engines for the conversion the 60-series could still be built (or sold) http://sandmmodels.co.uk/product/dc-8/

It is still to high but reshaping and thinning the front fenders did much for the look of the truck.

Lets call it finished

After WW2 lots of surplus material was bought by the Swedish defence forces. The WC52 were among that material. Later a few of these seems to have ended up with Svensk Flygtjänst. Svensk Flygtjänst flew target tugs so now I need a yellow Douglas Skyraider to accompany the car,

No more Rolls planned. But I would like one of the rebuilt ones on the Fordson chassis. I have a bunch of B-type busses waiting though.

Good to see you haven't given up. I found it trickier to build than I remembered. It looks like you will be finished with yours before me.

Glad to see this being built. I also have one in the stash. The only scale I have seen written on the boxes are 1/72!!!!!!!!😀

Started to paint it in a very faded green

Even though I like eggplanes I wasn't going to build a Panther tank. OK. I have to confess that the idea isn't mine. I stole from a build at the IPMS Stockholm forum. I just had to build it as the idea was so much better than the one I had earlier.

I meant to say that I did't recognise it to be as large as 13 cm. The figure that popped up in my head was an 8 cm insert.

I will follow this. I didn't recognise the 13 cm so I had a look in the Viggen book. The new engine in the JA 37 needed an extension of 7 cm but they tilted the forward par little downward so the total extension of the fuselage became 13 cm. So the insert were longer at the top.

The third Rolls Royce is finished. I might add some German jerry cans to it. Here are all three together.

All three are finished.

No mystery. The companies don't think they will sell enough to be profitable.

I finally managed to get the third coat of paint on. Now it is time for the nerve wrecking point when it is time to remove the masking tape. To my relief it wasn't a total disaster hiding under the tape. Touch up's are needed but not as much as I thought.

I have had no luck with Roden before but I will try again. Third time lucky?

My kit is ready to paint if I ever will find the canopy that I lost.
