So Eduard’s Facebook page has just shared photos of their design team working on potential schemes. So far I can see two schemes for the 352nd FG, including one OD and one NMF. Both have full length invasion stripes. Then there’s ‘Margie Maru’ a 354th FG aircraft in OD with full length invasion stripes. Knowing Eduard though this is probably just the tip of the iceberg
-
Is there any info on potential schemes yet? I’ve seen there’s the potential of ‘Lou III’ from the 361st FG, but I was wondering if any other info has been released? I’d personally love to see a 339th FG airframe or even 353rd. Of course, that’s me being biased towards the 8th but when you live in East Anglia… 😂

Excellent comet! You’ve done a really good job there, I especially like your stowage

Nice one Francis! I love the colour modulation that you’ve been able to achieve on the dunkelgelb!

Nice one! An original take on a classic tank and kit -

Looks good to me Andy! The figure gives a great sense of scale and is nicely finished too. The weathering looks spot on too. -

Great work, I really like your dry-brushing. A lot of people tend to think the technique archaic but this goes to show it still is a very effective finish on a model. -
Lovely bit of work, you’ve really brought that kit up to date in its finish. I’d be proud of that if mine looked like that in 35th! A great overall collection you should be proud of! 🙌🏼

1/48 - Boeing B-17G by HK Models - Release Oct 19
The_Lancaster replied to Sidders's topic in The Rumourmonger
This looks really interesting, I’m looking forward to seeing the full release. What I’m hoping for is that one day they’ll do a late F with the bulged cheek guns, as seen deleted then later reinstated on the G. Ultimately though, there’s so many sub-types available HK will be kept busy for years! Though I’m holding out for a G with the Cheyenne tail position 🤞🏼 -

Hey all, Benefitting from my first Christmas off in six years, I managed to sneak one last build past the goal post before the new year. This is Trumpeter's BTR-50PK from 2011, which followed on from their release of the PT-76 amphibious light tank, of which both vehicles share a common hull. This kit comes with decal options for either Russian or East German vehicles. The decals contain set numbers for vehicles depicted on the colour schemes as well as a set of numbers 0-9 to make up your own vehicles. I painted the vehicle using the suggested body colour as per the instructions, which was Mr. Hobby's 303 Light Green. I feel it might be a little too light, and for future builds I might shop around for a darker shade prior to painting. Departing from the colour scheme, I recently purchased Tankograd Publishing's book on NVA T-34s, and one image of interest I found was that of a T-34 ARV towing a disabled BTR whilst on winter exercises. The image shows both vehicles in a field applied winter scheme with daubs of white paint applied hap-hazardly over the vehicle. I was inspired by the look to replicate this on my vehicle. Ultimately I used a somewhat frayed old, square brush I had and with Humbrol 34, I took the excess off the brush and applied the rest in a random pattern over the vehicle. The weathering was achieved with oil paints, thinned down Tamiya Acrylics to make filters as well as AK Interactive's Acrylic Mud. I also used Tamiya snow effect. In a departure from recent builds, I decided to have a go at a vignette, which is a first for me. Using a cheaply sourced canvas, I glued down polystyrene sheet and shaped it to create a sunken road. I then applied the same acrylic mud that I had used on the vehicle. I blended some Tamiya snow into the mud to create a slushy, snowy, muddy look. The rest of the snow was applied to make it look like recent snowfall. I added grass tufts that I bought off of a wargaming vendor at a recent Tankfest, and then I drybrushed the tufts white to make them look suitably wintery. My final addition to the vehicle was a commander figure, which was spare from a recent Tamiya T-55 Enigma that I had built. Thanks for looking! Sam
