SPA Modeler

I’m all over the map. Did a little bit of Zimmerit work on my Panther tank, fooled around with the Hasegawa P-51 Mustang kit I got at Syrcon, gonna start spraying clear gloss to the Viper kit to prep for decals and start painting the grey undersides and topside on the Worimi Hornet tomorrow.

Bouncing back and forth between the F-16 and the Hawk missiles.

I've been working on painting the X-29 and preshading the YF-19. Also working on a couple of Gundams, one of which will be pretty much destroyed.

Been a light year for me. Seeing if I can get a couple group builds completed.
Working on 1/48 Val for a Japanese group build and did some interior painting on a P-51B for another group build. Got some time off coming so we'll see.

I managed to start a few models, mostly ones that have sat in the stash for too long: the Coast Guard Icebreaker Eastwind; the Long Beach tugboat, an E-2C Hawkeye, a Fairy Swordfish, and I worked a little on my PT-109...


Pics forthcoming in my next tour.

Tiger tank?

Yep - just trying to get some old builds finished and off the bench. RFM tracks but it's a Tamiya Tiger.

That looks nice! I really need to build a Tiger, but too many others on the bench ATM.

Thanks! TELL me about it lol - I always have too many. I started this one about two years ago!

Well, one more bench session and I should have my Hawk launcher wrapped up. Some final weathering, unmask the radomes on the missiles, then glue them and the wheels in place…

Been working on the Aile Strike Gundam in between painting the YF-19 and X-29.
