I can do that Second hand but with the important price sticker on. No decals and the instructions are on the back of the box Definitely in the cheap and cheerful category

Yes, but I don't go in for P/E seat belts, let alone resin conversions; I know who the real builders are whereas im just reliving a Saturday afternoon from 50 years ago

Very, very elegant! Love the pics in the gallery.

Thanks, it was a bumpy ride (probably prototypical), but it's done. Realised that I used to do them in a Saturday afternoon because I didn't paint the half of it; why did I even bother dry-brushing the unseen instrument panel (oh because it's there!), Also I'm pleased to report that @jean that nothing was fed to the carpet monster, and again that's a marked chqnge from my childhood when I probably skipped the winch and half the exhaust system (another bit you can't see). An antique of a kit for sure- the sprue gates are worthy of a modern short-run kit, giant ejector pin marks and visible part numbers, but with time and patience it could be a fun build. This time out was a bit to intense and I might need to liberate some vino for R&R!

And now to lower the standard, Airfix Vintage Classics Half-Track, build thread here

Basically finished. Spray some grime on and next stop Paris aka the gallery Thanks to everyone who's come along for the ride 😀

2 hours to go and looking plausible Especially as I was transferring to garden duties May yet have to downgrade to great escape mode Now there's a thought for another time

Now downgrade to a mere Superhero, after my Downfall (running time 2h36), which gives me until about 14:00 this afternoon.

Absolutely, but I've been caught out by that so many times before in the past🥲

I confidently predict that this takes care of one slot in the 2026 GB calendar already!

After 2h25 I accept that I can no. longer build a model in 3 hours... Down but not entirely out- will finish off tomorrow (for obvious reasons. It not in a BB, there's a lot of fun to be had in this kit actually.

The trailer is all but finished... The hubs were an absolute 'mare, in my childhood I expect I left them off which was probably a good decision!

It never took this long as a kid! But I've realised how little of it I painted back then! Hold on to your seats for the big finale!

Sorry Brunswick Green but it's not your day, a collection of what I do expect to use however. Masking tape off, so I can press on with painting (that's not the normal way is it?) Some need to dry before washes, dry brush etc. But the main parts are dry enough for some assembly. Now, when's the wrestling on ITV?
