TonyW Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) My PK 75 Humber Armoured Car is as done as it will ever be. An enjoyable build that got repainted and the scenery refreshed endless times along the way. I'm happy with it as it stands. The pictures were taken outdoors, under overcast skies. A sheet of white paper was used as a backdrop. They have been cropped and framed in Photoshop but that's as far as the editing goes.

John Masters Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Here are the rest of the photos...a cloudy, wintry day, early 1942, somewhere in Northern France... ...and with its other lovely and obsolete brethren... This concludes my entries for the Matchbox GB. Thank you all for the kind comments and enthusiasm. See you all in January for the 10th Anniversary GB and a brace of Nieuports 10! I am sure I'll work something up before that... --JDCM 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specky Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Despite the troublesome plastic, a thoroughly enjoyable build - but now I wish I'd put a bit more effort into the sink marks & joint lines! Included, at no extra charge, another Matchbox classic, an M7 'Priest' Cheers for now Craig 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Messerschmitt Bf-109E AE479, 1426 Flight RAF A short history: originally on the strength of 1./JG 76 flown by Fw. Karl Hier, captured by the French near Wœrth, 22 November 1939; handed over to the RAF 2 May 1940. Sent to the US in April 1942; crashed at Wright Field 3 November 42. My attempt was brush-painted with Humbrol and Colourcoats enamels, decorated with transfers from Xtradecals and, Ventura with a Windsor & Newton Matt coat with a gouache wash to enhance the panel-lines. This little kit has really helped break my modelling-block, now to crack on with some more. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
825 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) PK-8 Gloster Gladiator. Finished as a Sea Gladiator of 769 Squadron FAA, based at RNAS Donibristle in 1939. Apparently used for deco nading training. Mainly OOB with a new prop and arrestor hook cannibalised from a Pavla boxing. Brush painted with mainly Xtracrylix with Akan Dull Iron for the collector ring and radiator. Transfers from the Model Alliance Wings & Waves Part 1 sheet.

825 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Sd Kfz 222 Armoured Radio Car. Straight OOB, painted with Revell Afrika Sand by brush. The transfers are from the kit but a bit freestyle. Although the diorama base is supposed to be Northern Europe somewhere, I've painted it in sands and browns so I can use it as Matchbox intended. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
