What a stunning result, the paint really makes it come to life. The shot with the Petit Gris is also really nice, they do look good together. Perhaps you should build the other two 1/24 versions now. Best Regards Keith.

Fabulous!

What a superb build log with a great explanation of the build process. Thank you @JeroenS I'm really looking forward to seeing you paint this. Regards Keith.

klep handwiel ?

Really outstanding work, I am really enjoying following this. Keith

Really nice progress Jeroen, I work in the Rail industry and the type of Valve you are showing here looks to be a "Gate" valve. These types of valves have a "Gate" inside which is raised and lowered to operate the valve. the part on the top of the valve (Now known as Houdini) is called the hand wheel (on the railway). Generally if a valve has a handle it is a "ball" valve, however, this is not always the case and there are exceptions. Does the 1/24 kit of this tractor have any photo etch? my reason for asking is that I see the Lanz bulldog sign is moulded into the plastic and on the 1/35 model this is a photo etch part. Best regards Keith.

@JeroenS Thanks for posting the sprue shots and for writing your thoughts. The kit does look very nice indeed. I'm off to order one or two now. thanks again Keith

really nice start, I am keen to try one of the 1/24 tractor kits. The photo of the size difference is very useful. thank you Is the detail of the kit the same as the 1/35 versions? I look forward to reading about your thoughts and progress Keith

Thats a great looking engine

Is IDA the same as IPA (isopropanol alcohol)?

Not a classic, but I saw this yesterday and thought it rather unusual. some sort of small fiat flat bed.

Really nice progress on this one. I had a look for some info about the build of the "tub" and it appears that it is all aluminium construction. keep up the good work. Keith.

Fabulous!

That looks much better.

I forgot to add that I use Lacquer thinner Tamiya or mister color levelling thinner.

With the clear coat, if you thin it to much it dries off before it has a chance to level out and be glossy. I find with these types of acrylic clear coats (Tamiya and Mr Color) it is best to thin them 1:1 i.e. 10ml of thinner and 10ml of clear coat. then spray a couple of "mist" coats, then build up the gloss with heavier wet coats. also a larger needle size gives better results. I always use a 0.5mm for clear coat. Keith

That's better, looks very nice indeed, what paint did you use for the McLaren orange/red?

Looks like a nice start, photos could be a little larger though.

Stunning!

This is very interesting reading and your model work is fantastic. I find your painting process' very interesting also, thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to the next updates. Best Regards Keith

Thanks very much for the reply You have made a very nice job of upgrading yours. is a 1/16 JagdTiger available? Best Regards Keith

Nice! What make is this kit please Regards Keith

Thank you for the reply Jörgen, there is a couple of MFH kits I am interested in adding to my collection, your comments will make an easier decision. Best Regards Keith

Jörgen, that is a stunning piece of work so far. I have really enjoyed seeing it come together. Do the MFH parts require a lot of cleaning up before they can be used? Regards Keith

A stunning piece of engineering. Keith
