Hi Ian I'm in a similar position to you, always an aircraft modeller but fancied a change for a while. I've just completed the 1/35 Airfix Honey tank with no problems. Cost was about £20 so won't break the bank and completed size is not too large. I was going to tackle a 1/35 Jagdpanther next but when I discovered how large it was I wouldn't have the room to continue in this scale, so have just started a 1/48 Tamiya Jagdpanther instead. Costs about the same as the Honey and so far is a breeze to construct even with link and length tracks! If you want to stick with 1/35 scale and want something not too expensive to practice on how about one of the older Tamiya kits? Panzer II or IV, Stug IV or T62....they're under £20. Hope this helps Cheers

Fantastic work and a great little diorama

Very nice indeed. Brings back happy memories. Those old Matchbox kids were fabulous. A great range of subjects and the small diorama base was very neat. I wish more manufactures would adopt a similar policy these days

Great collection of harvards

Superb!

That's really cool! I like it

Very nice

Fantastic rendition in a great scheme. Well rescued!

Fantastic diorama. Love it

Incredible work. You've way more patience than I have. Great job and detail

Excellent

Fabulous collection

Beautiful model and fabulous weathering

Yes I think it is the Academy kit, still goes together well though. Highly recommended

Thanks for the comments and tips I try some drybrushing but don't think the photos have shown it up too well. I've got some Vallejo pigments for my next model so I'll be a bit braver
