Wheels fitted, with nice shiny brass hubs. Got to keep up appearances, even if there is a war on. #HistScaleModels

My next project in 1/16 Scale is Andys Hobby M3 Halftrack. After this I need to think if I'll stick with the scale or go back to 1/35...or both #histscalemodels

Well @fokkerdude.bsky.social was right: Polishing it was so worth it! 😁

Here we go it’s shiny! But I will try to make it even more shiny!!
(I think I will let it cure for another day though 😂)

Assembly other than windscreen and machine gun complete. Tomorrow I'll lay down some gloss varnish. #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels

Good evening all. My Ducati Panigale engine is pretty much done. A bit of touching up a couple of scratches and some decals and then on to the rest.

So I hope I'll get started on time not to mention finish it on time, but I'm committing to a kick-off anyway. #ItaliaGB #histscalemodels I couldn't find it in the attic until just now: 1/72 Hasegawa F-104S Starfighter. I will probably finish it in 23º or 102º Gruppo markings.

Saharina Day3: Test fitted the Breda 20mm before giving it a nice coat of, uhm, pink.

The Meng Char 2C is done. Happy days. It is a really nice kit and I'm co
ntent it has turned out fine. #histscalemodels

Annoying masking bleed, but easily fixed with a brush. Need to paint the cockpit coaming. Otherwise, final assembly, gloss varnish, panel lining. Feels nearly done. #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels

Engine cover doesn’t fit at all well so have glued in place. Body ready for primer after final rub down with fine sanding sponge

Engine build underway but won’t be seen so will only get basic paint

I realized the figures I'd cobbled together looked off. The plastic Miniart helmets didn't match the detail of the resin sculpt. Enter these gents, freshly printed last night. I've now got a good line on a scene featuring Ethiopian troops during the Tigray War.

Just the green to be masked and sprayed, details on windscreen etc. Interrupted by house guests but I may actually complete this one for #ItaliaGB #HistScaleModels

I'm pleased with the finished product. It's been a pig. There could have been a lot more included with the kit, I guess that would bump up the price significantly. The small one is 1/35, it gives you a scale comparison. Enjoy 😉 #histscalemodels

If you dont glue them they fall off. Rubber grommets could have been included. They ones with the kit are hard plastic and dont hold. Numerous parts are shown fitted a certain way, which is wrong. The gun mount, if you follow the instructions it won't fit after its all glued up #histscalemodels

If you opt for the expert version, this is around the suspension and steering. The suspension has a lot of moving parts, parts that go solid once you fit the drive shafts and springs. The simple version doesn't have steering from the outset. Then the wheels, #histscalemodels

Completed. Das Werk 1/16 Scale Sd.kfz. 234/2 Puma. This kit tested my patience not because it was a poor kit but because the instructions are wrong and misleading. From the start it gives you the option for expert or simple.version. hmm. There's a lot of work involved #histscalemodels
