One I’ve wanted to do for years Edited September 22, 2022 by PhantomBigStu 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Brilliant choice Stu.👍 All Thuds look great but "My Karma" is fantastic in the wrap Euro One scheme. Another of the many schemes I "need to do" I am really looking forward to seeing this one done mate. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Welcome Stu. My that's a pretty scheme on a thud. a 72 thud is probably comparible to most 48 kits with it's huge size. good luck with this, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 What with the heat I’ve been stuck on the dining room table for the last few weeks mostly, today was the first proper day back, didn’t fancy sanding, so instead I painted on a crude attempt at the camo just to see how it looked. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
