SdKfz 222 looks stunning can't wait to see it set in its diorama Stay safe Roger

Can I squeeze in at the back and watch Bill work his magic on the Canberra's please? I've brought some of our local brewed Piddle Ale with me so help yourselves if you fancy one Stay safe Roger

Painting on the sprue is quite common especially with aircraft modellers as it allows the part to be held or moved around as required securely. Any edges can be touched up using a small brush and very dilute paint or if it's a large area then masking off or even freehand the use the airbrush on a low pressure setting. If using a brush then several coats may be required. Everyone has their own ways of doing things so you may get different answers from others. Hope that helps. Stay safe Roger

Thanks to everyone who hit the like button and to @edjbartos, @mbthejester, @Bullbasket and @Keeff for the kind comments your time is very much appreciated. After attending the Poole Viking Model Clubs annual show last Saturday I've managed to find a little time for this one by continuing to build up the body, still a long way to go but it is at least looking more like an ambulance now! The plan is to have it finished for the September South West Model Show at Bovington Tank Museum. Anyway here are the pictures Thanks for looking in more soon on this one I hope Stay safe Roger

Coming together nicely Simon. Stay safe Roger

I'll take a seat for this one if I may John? Always willing to learn from a master Stay safe Roger

Crowded in here already is there room for one more? Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one Wayne Stay safe Roger

Those decals are bringing this one to life Olivier Stay safe Roger

Totally agree with my learned colleagues above! Stay safe Roger

Most definitely agree with John @Bullbasket, I'll follow along and learn if I may? Stay safe Roger

Looking very nice Dan you have raised the bar once again! Stay safe Roger

Sorry to hear you're going to park this one for awhile Wayne. I seem to recall that @Ex-FAAWAFU used stick on rivets on one of his 1/48 Sea King models but I don't know if they are available in 1/24 scale. They were added like a decal/transfer if I remember correctly. Hope to see this back on the bench soon. Stay safe Roger

Another unusual subject from the golden era I will follow along and watch you work your magic! Stay safe Roger

Thinking back to my days at ABRO I was involved for a time with Chieftain AVRE/AVLB overhaul/service and the AVRE's were always loaded on transporters backwards as there blades hit the trailer if going on forwards so I think your right to put your Chieftain on backwards for that reason. Stay safe Roger

Seconded Stay safe Roger

That is a very nice display Mark just emphasises the size of the Scammell. Superb workmanship and attention to detail as always with your work Stay safe Roger

That turned out extremely well Simon, just the right amount of weathering IMHO. Looking forward to the next project now Stay safe Roger

Sorry you've side lined the Foxbat Simon but I look forward to watching you work your magic on this one, what's not to like about a Wimpy build. I'll just take a seat in the corner and watch quietly if I may? Stay safe Roger

Thanks to @Spookytooth, @Keeff, @Jasper dog, @Bullbasket and @Ned for the kind comments and to everyone who hit the like button. @Ned I think you may have to fight @Bullbasket for Sylvia Sims though! OK now for a small update as you know I decided to try and paint the red cross markings so I sprayed the relevant areas white then cut masks for the red crosses, then using the sponge technique together with a very old tin of Humbrol insignia red enamel added the crosses. When dry the masks were removed to reveal this Not to bad for a first attempt at this and after a clean up and retouching this is the result which will do for me! The last pics show the cab sat on the chassis to check the effects and fit Thanks for looking in your time is appreciated Stay safe Roger

Nice recovery on the paint scheme Rob Stay safe Roger
