I have been struggling to find time to complete a previous build but, hey, this is a Tiger STGB!! So I have chosen something I hope will be relatively quick to build. And I've wanted to make a grey Tiger 1 for a while now. However, while doing a bit of minimal research, I discovered that it seems likely that very few Tiger 1s actually operated in the the all grey finish. It does seem likely that the that one I have chosen to build, did get shipped to the s.Pz.Abt.502nd, in Russia, in the all grey finish, but I can see that it ended up in a whitewash finish at some point. So mine will be in that period between arriving and getting whitewashed! I have had this kit for a long time. It was purchased from Parabellum Models in Birmingham, when it was on sale. Seems like a good kit, but there aren't many full reviews of it. So this is the box art: Sale sticker: And this is the one I'm planning on making it as: Contents in the box: Hopefully I'll find time to keep this thread updated. I'm planning on making use of the Easter Break to get this properly under way. I have made a bit of a start and I'll post some photos of my progress shortly. Kind regards, Stix .....and Happy Easter! -
I picked this up on impulse week before last. It’s a very new tool (this year). Brush painted with Tamiya acrylics, and an attempt at making a dusty used look with a variety of acrylic washes. Completed out of the box as a vehicle of 5th/7th Royal Australian Regiment in Iraq with AMTG-2 (Al Muhanna Task Group) in 2005-2006. Build thread can be found here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235099408-australian-bushmaster-protected-mobility-vehicle-dragon-172 Thanks for looking.- 3 replies

I was intending to start a different kit, but saw a pile of these appear in my local hobby shop and just had to have one. It looks like a straightforward build (hope that’s not deceptive). The paint job on the other hand is going to be interesting. I’m going to finish it straight out of the box as a vehicle used in Iraq in 2005/6.

50 years ago on July 20 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. Please find some pictures of my Dragon 1/72 Saturn V model I built a few years ago and it won a Bronze medal at the 2015 ScaleModelWorld competition. The kit was largely made OOB but some small changes were made: All stringer ends cut back and chamfered off LSA top section added to improve the fit between the LSA and the Service Module Gold and brass foil fitted the the Lunar Module Contact probes added to 3 of the Lunar Module landing pads Retro rockets fitted to the top of Stage 3 Separation rockets exhausts opened out on Stage 2 Umbilical interface between Stage 1 and Interstage New Ware decals used A large number of sink marks were filled in at all stages. Painting was done by airbrush as my first attempt with a spray can resulted in lots of paint runs. Now, on to the pictures. Work in progress: Complete for the first time on the kitchen table On the competition table at Telford, nothing got broken on the flight over😅 BPC, Command Module and Service Module Lunar Module Stage 1 and 1/72 Airfix Concorde for scale comparison All together now

Hello all... Im posting my recent build of Dragons 1/72 He.219-A0. I built this down in the “Specialists” group build. Im hoping you like it. You will note it needs a tail prop to stand up properly. I found out too late that no matter how much weight. I just couldn't get it to stand on all three feet. A link to the WIP If any are curious. Questions, comments, jokes, our good stories ? Dennis

It is built out of the box without any modification. It's an older kit but it builds up nicely. Painted with Testors and Tamiya paints. Weathered with pastels and Mig products. .
