Although not yet completely buried, the KC-10 is on a very tenuous life-support system and Mr. Bean is the tech on duty.
So,
This one will be added to the mix.

I have never seen injection molded tracks before - looks like more than a few pieces for each track....

Happy Saturday to all.

Excellent! An M10 would have been my other choice.

Started futzing around on this...hoping to finish by the deadline. Doing this work whilst paint or repairs dry on the Panther. While there is no canopy to mask, nor a cockpit to detail, there are road wheels. Saw somewhere that Tamiya Field Gray (XF-65) works pretty well as a faded OD, so I'm giving it a shot. Sprayed the road wheels to see.

mysterious weights in the bottom of the hull..

And, a couple of items on the interior.
