Jinxman Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Hasegawa 1/72 Half Track & Flakvierling Nice little kit, long on the shelf of doom. I couldn't find the decals, and the cleaning up of parts was at times tedious - otherwise lots of fun.

John Masters Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Here's my little amphibious truck... This was really fun to build and came together very easily, as most Tamiya products do. Although it is not the exact kit issued in the early 1970s (added PE grills and better moulded figures) it is still the same kit...if that makes sense. Regarding the weathering...March in Tunisia is not necessarily a dry part of the year so I imagine there was a fair amount of wet clay-like mud and dirt. Even a watercraft like this would soon be covered with non-aquatic debris. Here are some images... Thanks guys! I'll start the Stuart and see how far I get before the GB concludes. --John 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Imai 1/24 Citroën 2CV6 All done, (and another one from the shelf of doom) - a tidy little kit, perhaps not the most detailed or accurate but it was a fun build. No underside shots as the chassis alterations are a little industrial - nothing for you to see there. No doubt this little fella is still tootling around a vineyard near Cognac, quite happily, whilst the world rushes by.

Stef N. Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Tamiya Panther D. This was Tamiya's old Panther tweaked to make it a D. Keeping spend to a minimum, I used a few aftermarket bits, but mostly stuff from the spares box and the kit. It's still a good kit, with good fit but unsurprisingly clunky in certain areas, especially the tools. The paint scheme is not accurate. It's more for a late model Panther but I wanted a chance to try out a few newish techniques so you'll have to forgive my lack of accuracy.😀 Anyway it has been fun, learned a lot and have thoroughly enjoyed my first major attempt at kit bashing. Thank you all, and thanks for the GB.👍 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Yamaha XV1000 (Tamiya 1:12) Hi All, Here’s my contribution. I would have loved to have completed the NSR but the decals didn't end up so good; se la vie!! Thanks again to Pat (JOCKNEY) for hosting such a great GB Cheers Nigel 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 This is my fourth 1/72 Fujimi Bf 110 build and this time I have gone for one of the D-1/R-1 versions with the big plywood "Dackelbauch" drop tank. I have gone for a plane belonging to Stab I/ZG.76 based in Norway during the Battle of Britain though whether or not this plane took part in the (in)famous raid on August 15th is unknown. Here is a link to my build thread. A nice simple OOB build with only an adjustment to the colour scheme and markings. Pete 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Back in the 1970's I built Fujimi's 1/72 Panzer VI Tiger Ausf B (aka King Tiger) with the production Henschel designed turret, but a few years later they also released one, probably ex Nitto, which was of one of the first 50 with the Krupp built turret designed for the competing Porsche version, and so now I have built one. Here is the build thread. And here it is with the previous version for comparison. Pete Edited July 3 by PeterB 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Mitsubishi FUSO 6x2 truck. Started with high hopes, but the kit is quite clunky in a lot of places. Was close to binning it but decided to stick with it, and weather it to hide the worst of the clunkiness. I like the overall result, but I'm glad it's finished.

stevehnz Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Hasegawa's A-4E/F Skyhawk, done from a 1969 Hasegawa boxing according to Scalemates. Build thread. Not the flashest kit but not the awfulest either. It supposedly has dimensional issues but didn't look too bad alongside my Airfix A-4B from a GB a couple of years ago. A small panic after taking the last photo in the build thread when I realised the Hobby2000 kit marking instructions, I used the decals from that on this, were missing the aircraft number from the tail, though the box art had it right so a quick fix up required. Let me present 0091. Steve. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Well better late than never ! As the joint host of this GB I would have had to go into hiding if I had nothing in the Gallery. Fortunately I've managed to get this one finished. I've tidied up the rigging since the photo, I hope you like it Cheers Pat 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
