Yes its brilliant its good how it shows a lot of mistakes they made (and Officers as well) i watched them in my dinner hour at work.

I watched Generation kill and it has made me want to build a Humvee they seem like the workhorse great model." make sure you get a shave!!!" (you will know what im talking about when you watch it)

Awesome i used to drive one of these on civvy street the best trucks on the road it looks like you have taken a picture of the inside of my cab just without the rope that was hanging on the back of my cab the picture of the lady is very relevant great model.

Thankyou will get some chain ordered cheers.

Looking excellent mate where did you get your chain from please im after some for my slt50/3 elephant thankyou.

Excellent model just building the elephant in 1/72 its small hand painted it not sprayed looks ok. Would look better if i had sprayed it gonna have to put my hand in my pocket and get a spray gun everything looks so much better sprayed.

Reminds me of the old days i used to drive one of these as a G1098 with the 1 3/4 ton water bowser trailer open roads was great harbour area used to be a nightmare a few shunts to get parked no power steering having to put the foot on the dash and some one screaming at you to hurry up. amazing model.

Thank you everybody for your help and the German soldier pic that is very realistic ha ha. Kingfisher looks good have found some other little bits on there to!!!

Sorry 1/72 forgot the scale cheers

Hello everyone, can anybody tell me whether i can get my hands on modern German soldiers i am building the elephant tank transporter and would like some soldiers to go with he kit thanks for your help.

Thanks for the comments still learning will get better hopefully!

Awesome mate they look excellent

Hello everybody, My go at the 1/76 bren gun with carrier this model was small got a shock as to how small it was when i got it out of the box.Building the 1/72 elephant next so wanted to have a go at the weathering on this model bit of a practice really i think i maybe overdid it on the weathering/used look i used talc on powder mixed in with paint to get the mud look.Its also my first go at a diorama base not finished painting it yet used plaster o paris to get the base and hump.The piece of wood warped a bit so will protect it more or use a different type of wood. Let me know what you think of it im open to comments dont think its to bad for my second model.But i could be wrong.I know the colours are wrong on the model just used what i had. Sorry about the pictures tried to get good ones but it didnt work out very well.

Thanks very much it was a bit thrown together like i say the decals where incorrect for the kit so had no instructions for them and what is the best way to deal with the seams would it be milliput or something like if id have found this website before i would have asked for help but thanks for letting me know where i went wrong i am grateful for the comments i can use them to improve my next model. Cheers

Thankyou if mine looks half as good as that i will be happy

That is excellent how do you get the weathering look on the model especially with the brush and how did you get the colour to go together without getting a straight edge between the camo Cheers

Thankyou did you spray the colour on also did you grey primer it before painting i have read a lot of people use Halfords grey primer will this be ok. Sorry to be a pain but trying to get as many tips as i can.

Hello everybody i have put a thread in the aircraft area i am new to the website and recently new to modelling after a long gap i am going to be building the Elephant tank transporter and tank and recce vehicle was just woundering if anybody had built this kit and if they had any pictures and what colour green did they use for the overall model dont know which to use was going to use Humbrol 150 with a mix of black to make it darker thankyou any help would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks for the comments I have got a varnish finish should i have sprayed it on before doing the stickers will it be ok to spray on now? The paint was just what i made up found the instructions quite hard to follow as its mostly in chinese.Got it from a car boot (cheap) the stickers were also the wrong ones for that model so i had to improvise Once again thanks for the comments.

Hello everybody, i came across this website by chance and cant believe the tips and the class of models on here, i have just recently got back into modelling after about a fifteen year break, not really had time to do them before with work etc. I have nearly finished a F-4E Phantom Hasegawa kit i am open to critisisum, i have bought the revell tank transporter kit so that is my next project, I used the Tamiya weathering kit on this model for the area behind the engine is this cheating or does anybody think they are good im not good with a spray gun at the moment so thought i would try these powders..
