@harold-adams it's a great kit and I stopped building it and started on the 1/16 scale Jeep. I almost got it done before we packed up and moved. Now I'm just waiting to get the new ((BIGGER)) hobby room done.

All in all I'd say you'd enjoy the kit

Been thinking about getting this kit for awhile. We're there any issues in its assembly? I have the 1/16th Stug in my stash.

Would love to see them make a 1/16th M18 Hellcat, M4 Sherman (Early), M4A1 (75mm), M3 Lee and Grant, M3 A1 U.S. Halftrack.

Now he has an M10 Achilles and Wolverine.

Lots of German armor and soft skins.

The 1/16th scale is expanding.

Calling this one done!

😄

I've since switched to using AK Interactive Real Color Laquer Acrylic paint. They work great, smooth flow through the airbrush with no issues. Vallejo and Mig paints are used for brush painting.

Anyway this one is done. I highly recommend it to novice builders. Not for beginners. Model went together with no issues. Tracks could be a problem for builders with no patience.

Take a look!

Here's more on the Rye Field Models Sherman Firefly VC.

Almost done, just needs some additional stowage, weathering, and small details. It's gettin' there!

We moved on July 4th from Katy TX to Highlands TX and to a smaller house with more land. That being said I don't have my hobby room just yet as we're waiting on the cooler weather so we can work in that room to get it ready for my hobby. So I have not finished anything this year as of yet. Close on the 1/16 Jeep

Pulled this one down from the shelf, and started over in it by repainting it with AK Interactive Real Colors SCC 15 British Olive Drab. I didn't like the way it looked.

1511

I then highlighted with same color with a little AK Real Colors Buff added little by little. Did some detail painting, and a applied a test piece of stowage on the turret, where the footman loops were attached on these particular vehicles.

Did an Ak Interactive Satin Coat application via airbrush, and then applied the decals. Main gun barrel camo was painted on using AK Real Colors Insignia White. Still have some small parts to add and stowage. Here's whats done so far..

And I'm calling this complete.

Didn't want to get burned out on a kit. Many a kit in my possession has almost fallen into that category. My goal is to work on my shelf queens.

Here's the completed kit;

Greetings;

been working on this one off and on for the last 3 months. Hopefully can finish it sometime in the next week or so. Here's the kit;

1498

I also purchased some accessories, a Bronco Models 17 pounder ammo set, with decals, Value Gear Achilles stowage set, and ended with different tracks because the Tamiya ones had a deformity. So I used Panda Plastics T49 tracks.

Here's the build so far;

Not done yet, but getting there, as I have to paint and add the ammo in the ready racks, and some other details.

1499 1500 1501 1502

Nice kit to build! Not finished yet..almost.😃
