  1. Thanks a lot fellas. Tamiya do a 1/48 G40,so I could build it minus the blade and hydraulic hoses. Ta again and the pictures will be helpful.
  2. I'm currently building the Tamiya 1/48 Aichi M6A1 Seiran and I'm intending to build it on the 'Dolly' trailer. I would like to add a tow vehicle to the set up but all I can find in 1/48 is a Komatsu G.40 bulldozer,also Tamiya. Would this be accurate? If not,anyone with a suggestion. Thanks in advance.
  3. Now that's different. Excellent all round.
  4. An old kit with raised panel lines(a first for me). Typical Tamiya fit,very good. Scared to attempt tri colour camouflage scheme so I did a mix and match scheme in two tone grey. The 354th TFW did fly in this scheme but probably not this particular plane. I sanded down some of the seam joints but I was concerned about losing the panel lines which I couldn't replace. The weapons took an age but we're enjoyable because the had such solid,chunky fitting points. I used reference photo's for the rocket and bomb colours because the instructions were not very clear. Seatbelts were made from masking tape and spare photo etch buckles. Primed with Ultimate grey primer and airbrushed with Tamiya acrylics. A very enjoyable build.
  5. Awesome. Not too much weathering which I prefer. Superb paint job.
  6. Nice Buccaneer. Whilst on that subject does anyone know of the progress of the 1/48 Tanmodel Bucc?
  7. Lovely job,I've built this kit myself and it's a cracker.
  8. Went together very well, little bit of filler required. I love these 'easy assemble' Hobbyboss kits,they are a good mojo returner because they go together well. I added some generic seatbelts and a bit of scratchbuilding to liven up the cockpit and I am pleased with the results. Ultimate primer and Tamiya acrylics used throughout.
  9. Cheers mate,I'll give them a go. In the meantime however I've managed to get most of the decals on,it's just the squadron numbers on the fuselage and under the wings that wouldn't behave. Thanks.
