Ranger 2506

Yeah ozzy it fitted together very well, one of the best I've done so far had no issues with it. Looking for a new one now to add if you have any suggestions would be grateful.

Here are my two Academy kits, they have taken me a few months to complete and enjoyed making them hope you like them. I decided to leave the extra turret armour off the panzer just for something a little different. Any feedback is always welcome...

Stunning work lovely weathering effect I've just completed mine will post soon and compare notes.

Lovely work thought it had been airbrushed top job, will have to add one to my list.

One of the nicest cats I've seen in a long time superb finish. Heavy

Thanks guys, advise taken and will put them into practice, hopefully I can make them work looking forward to making it. Thanks guys, looking forward to putting them Into practice and hopefully it will come out looking good. Will keep you all updated when I start.

Yeah I know I've always loved modelling its a great past time to recreate vehicles. For me its a reminder of the past and so in a way it's my respect to do the best job I possibly can on them.

Thanks for the tip, a few people have said the same thing stick to the correct order sounds like it could be problematic it not done so. And has its been awhile I'm taking every bit of advice I get to get it right. Thanks. Allan

I've just started using Vallejo paints and have found them to be very good don't need to thin them down but I do add a small amount just to spread the paint over the model. They do come in a large variety and they do them in packs for example. German aircraft colours, allied, panzer allied amour. I found them on Amazon and prices went bad a pack of 16 cost me under £30 free shipping and next day delivery. Hope this helps.

Looks good, If I can get mine to look like that I'll be happy just a one thing did you use a air brush or hand paint. I have a air brush which I've used on a few tanks, I have put up on the finished amour site on here.

Thanks for the advice guys gives me a bit more confidence of what I'm doing, I've done kits when I was younger but the quality of kits and equipment being used now is totally different as of 15-16yrs ago so I'm looking forward to using them with all the hints and tips on this site I'm sure it will be fun. Thanks. Will keep it posted.

Sounds like a plan I have yet to open them to have a look I only got them today. I've had a look at some of the reviews on YouTube tonight and the typhoon dose look like awesome kit for the price you pay not seen much about the 109 and have always wanted to build one. If it goes well might have to get a larger scale. Any suggestions on kit types.

Thanks for the advice will be making a start tomorrow. Will post updates as I go

Hi guys I've got two new kit to build they are airfix 1:72 new moulds. 1st is a bf1096-g and the other is the hawker typhoon. Just wanting to put the feelers out there for any input on what these kits are like to build and any ideas. I haven't built ww2 aircraft for a long time now and a little out of practice any advise would be great. Thanks guys...

This is my first attempt to do this so hopefully its ok. this is my m18 Hellcat from Academy it's in 1:35 scale and I think its a good looking tank. It fit together very well with some nice details and a few extras in the box such as ammo crates and equipment. It took me 3-4weeks to complete and was the second model I have done with a airbrush, still trying to get to grips using one. I hope you like it any feed back is very welcome. thanks for looking.

Very nice kit good idea using bandages has netting to great affect. Gives me some good idea's for upcoming projects. Thanks for sharing.
