Happy Sunday all. The Ducati Panigale is coming along, bit by bit. Wheels and forks are done and now it's time for the rest.

Both banks wired up! That was NOT easy and I did mess up the distributors a little but I think the overall effect is worth it. Thinking about doing some fabrication to add some of the fuel and oil lines next #histscalemodels #italiaGB #lamborghini #carmodels

The hull of the Meng AUF1 is complete barring glass bits. It went together pretty well with only mild swearing viz the headlights in particular. The PE stuff went on well. Meng provide a jig for the fiddly bits. Tracks next, maybe later in the week. #histscalemodels

🐌🪖That’s it for the weekend.
Pretty much done with the base model, decals added and blended.
Started on the stowage with blutac.
Pretty happy with the aesthetic.

Not exactly the same as the D7 tractor (of which I have an example in the stash) but fairly close! Useful images for the engine plumbing, at least!

Calling this one done.
Special Hobby Mirage F.1C, EC 3/12 Cornouialle, Summer 1979.
First Special Hobby kit, bit of a steep learning curve but learnt a lot. Looking forward to my next one. Very impressed with the decals.
Next one will be better.

Alcione Day9: Flat ghost grey is on, hard to distinguish from the primer. #ItaliaGB

My office is reverting to our 2nd bedroom for a few weeks so no more work on the M13 until Nov.
This is the current state of play and I'm pretty happy with it now.
Once I'm back at the bench, it'll be onto a small base and the figures.

I’m about 93% complete now on the 1/72 scale Eduard F6F-3 Hellcat. Tonight I attached external fuel tank. I worked on getting more zinc chromate showing under the sea blue. Also added some rust weathering along some panel lines. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Next project - an accurized build of the 1954 Marx Toys White House.
First up today was the front portico base. This area changed in 1952, so I had to go back to this 1913 photo to get the correct appearance for 1948, which is the time period I’ve chosen. #HistScaleModels

Today was priming day, and once again I don't know why I always procrastinate it for several days - I always end up enjoying the process and these fantastically smooth results tremendously. #HistScaleModels

New products have been uploaded - 347 from Ebay, 53 from Kingkit, 8 from Models For Sale, 2 from Jadlam, 2 from ArtScale and 1 from Eduard.

Finally finished the post on my latest Essex-class build. - this time a more or less straight out of the box build other than decals. Okay, and radar jamming equipment. And accurized Skyraiders. But that's it.

Wiring for the Bugatti dash - I’ve seen better… #histscalemodels #italiaGB

Test fit "seems" to work...🤔🤞😅 #italiagb #histscalemodels

🐌🪖Churchill’s arse. The cleanest yet!
Noodling about and doing the rear.
Note to self: put the decals on earlier🤦🏻.
