The paint shading is great, gives a brilliant impression of depth. The mud effect is subtle, which is great to see.

M4A1(76)w Sherman
fittedkitchens replied to ScootyPuffJunior's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Excellent. The Sherman sure suits that camo. Lovely weathering, and the accessories set it off well. I must check out Asuka, I quite fancy those rounded-hulled variants. -
Fiat 2000 Heavy Tank (M.34) 1/35
fittedkitchens replied to xebec's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
That's very impressive! You've two hull pieces... I'd always assumed that 3D printing created a 'solid' form, but I can see that both appear to be hollow inside. Must actually do some reading up on the process to try and get a better understanding. -
Tamiya 1/35 Panther Ausf A (35065)
fittedkitchens replied to fittedkitchens's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Thanks chaps! -
Another recent build of a piece of Tamiya history... the Panther Ausf A, originally tooled in 1968. Defo a vintage offering, and whilst it is riddled with a million inaccuracies, it was another model I'd always wanted to build as a kid. There have been a few tooling tweaks over the years it seems, as I've seen a couple of different sprue configurations. Built out of the box, with exception of spare track lines being replaced from the Italeri German tank accessories set, and a new cable made from twisted wire. The bossman definitely needs a bit more detail picked out by painting, must redo that.

Tamiya 1/35 Kettenkraftrad (35029)
fittedkitchens replied to fittedkitchens's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
Haha, thanks. It really is a tiny little model. The one piece wheels/tracks work well for this size, though they do miss out the sprocket teeth. I do enjoy building these older Tamiya models which I missed out on 'first time round'. I have also got Tamiya's more recent Kettenkraftrad offering, which looks like a somewhat more complex build... but with infinitely better driver and infantry figures. -
Avro Manchester MkI - 1/48th scale
fittedkitchens replied to Rob Probert's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Lovely piece of work, the wavy-edged midnight/camo fuselage demarcation always looks cool on a bomber. -
That really is impressive. I checked out the build thread, and all that work does pay off... the etched light grilles, the smoke discharger cables, the 'flimsies' rack, the flush rivets... great stuff.

I've just used Kingkit for the first time, to purchase a couple of 1/35 Tamiya kits which I'd been after for a while. Their 'notification' facility is excellent, and delivery, packaging etc superb.

Fiat-Terni "Tripoli" Armored Car 1/35
fittedkitchens replied to xebec's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
That's some result! That must have taken quite a while to research, print, build... before even putting tweezer to rivet. Excellent.- 24 replies

Tamiya's original version, released in 1973. it's been a while since I last uploaded a photo to this site, so hopefully this will work.

Short Stirling Mk I Series III ***FINISHED***
fittedkitchens replied to PeterB's topic in Big and British GB
That's coming along very well. The Whitley looks positively petite alongside the beast. -
That's very impressive! Stupid question: is the camo all done freehand, or did you use some blu-tack 'worms'? I'm just trying to figure out the order you laid the colours down, ec as it's a scheme I'd be keen to copy. Cheers.
