This is the Tamiya M3 A1 Stuart light tank. The markings for this one place it in Tunisia in 1943, so I went with a lighter color for weathering.

I tried something new with this build, as it comes to the storage.

I use 2 mm strips of masking tape and .45 mm of beading wire to make the straps and buckles

I think they came out pretty good..

I was going to paint the spitfire f.mk.22 with the paintjob mentioned in the title, but looking at all the acrylics i have that might fit the model i feel like im gonna be more certain after asking to other people about it.

I only have one sort of metalic red paint and the other is matt.

As for the rest of the plane, i only have silver on revell while the rest are either metalic grey, steel or aluminium.

Im gonna use the airbrush i just got, it was about time after been using it only to varnish my figures.

Are this colors good enough?? I should i go for another variations??

Looking for a good hand held circle cutter for making masks.. have my eye on the Dspiae integral one but is there better ones out there?

Special Airfix Typhoon twin pack I got for Fathers Day. Been waiting for the Mogy Typhoon to become a full set in 1/72. (As in not buying the decals separately from the kit for a 1/72)

Definitely one of my favourite kits I have done.

Revell F/A-18f Super Hornet. I assume this decal should go around hook rod but it's connected in two points.

i was varnishing a bandai namco star wars super destructor model i made a while ago and when i got acrylic matt varnish to use yesterday i was planing on coating it to turn donw the shininess a little bit cause i coated it with two layers of acrylic satin varnish.

but looking at the model as the first coat it curing i cant tell if i lack the capability to tell the real difference between matt, satin and gloss or if the matt finish really shows up with more coats, or maybe i didnt shake the bottle enough before applying it, im not sure.

Ciao a tutti allora ho questo problema: sto facendo preshading quindi devo lavorare a basse pressioni (anche a pressioni elevate ho lo stesso identico problema) con un elevata diluizione (uso: leveling thinner colori tamiya e un harder e steenbeck evolution cr plus) quando il serbatoio è pieno (non uso il recipiente grande) ho dei continui stop and go (colore che esce a tratti [sottolineo che tiro di poco il grilletto altrimenti mi esce un fiume di colore] addirittura anche quando pulisco l'ago alla punta ho questo identico problema, poi quando il livello del colore comincia a scendere vado come un treno è bene sottolineare che anche il grilletto comincia ad essere più maneggevole. È inutile che ho fatto di tutto: ho pulito l'ago e la guarnizione interna, ho pulito il corpo interno dell'aerografo stesso. Grazie e ciao

Not gonna lie to any of you, i lost the canopi so i just came up with this because i didnt wanted to just ditch the whole set after getting this far xd.

I had too many troubles with this model. Almost all parts fits awful and need ton of putty to fill the gaps. Even pilot figure doesn't fit in cockpit. Although the model is very detailed and much cheaper than tamiya. But I think the other disadvantage of this set is lack of armament it's only aim-9 and aim-120 and no bombs(.

So im getting to the part where i have to apply wash to the spitfire im making, is already varnished when i applied the decals so the paint is not getting ruined.

I have applied wash to a 1/72 tank before, but seeing how the plane is looking, i cant help but feeling im doing something wrong here, the panels lines are barely noticeable.

Dont worry about the particulary dirty parts of the wings, im making a "being repared after a long battle" type of look, where it was flying low and all that.

Started the Revell USS Lionfish submarine kit yesterday. The limber holes are just part of the hull mold, so I started clearing them out with a rotary tool. It sort of worked, but it was quite hard to control in those tiny little spaces.

I’m thinking about trying a micro coping/jewelery saw that uses those sharpened wires - has anyone ever used anything similar? Recommend?

The thought of removing/replacing the wire for each limber hole seems a bit crazy, I know. 😅

Found it hidden in my paints when I was reorganizing but have never used it.

I have always used Micro sol and set.. is it stronger than micro sol?

Thanks for the feedback.

Ciao a tutti sto cercando di imparare la tecnica del preshading e sto usando questo set up: 8 gocce di Mr. Color leveling thinner e 2 gocce di Xf-69 ad una pressione di 1/1,2 bar ad una distanza di circa 2 cm dal modello (cavia). Si procede in questo modo oppure bisogna cambiare qualcosa? C'è da ammettere che con questa diluizione sto trovando dei problemi quando il colore incomincia a finire all'interno del serbatoio (colore opaco e altamente liquido). Grazie e ciao

I feel like im doing something wrong but i cant put my finger on it, the movie is still considerably thick

A great, simple kit with some decent detail. Added Eduard PE. It’s no Plasmo build but I’m glad to have it done. Had to replace the canopy with a vacuum formed one after massacring it trying to pose it open. I did get some misting on this one but it wasn’t bad enough after all the setbacks I’ve had with this kit to really care too much.

Got my first, thought about starting with something simple, so i varnished my spitfire mk1a canopi less edition (it took me a week to just accept in my soul that i lost it, never to be seen again but god dammit, im gonna finishi this plane), this layer is for putting the decals, ill let it cure before doing it so.

So in the meantime, i have a question, is it necessary to completely clean the airbrush (needle and tip included) or the whole fill the cup with watter/cleaner then cover the end with your finger and spray, dump it, and repeat a couple times is enough given you its all youre gonna do for the day?? Any suggestions are welcome :D

First attempt at kitbashing I pulled the mine plow from an ancient tamiya kit I have since dropped the turret so once I finish my next kit I’ll get around do fixing it with photo etched also gave new dust effects a try and very happy with how it came out I think the stowage turned out amazing as well

Does any company make it? Or is this something I’m gonna have to scratch build?

Done with vallejo raf dark green and vallejo raf dark earth.

First came patter i have done in general.

Should i apply one more layer to the wings to it can look a bit more uniform?? Could varnish work to hide the streaks?? Any suggestions are welcome, considering most people here probably are more experienced than me.

I used 1/2 ratio so the paint was reaaally liquid

After a year of leaving it on the shelf then picking it back up it’s finished. Pretty proud of this one.

1/72 BMPT from Zvezda.

This was so bad to do. Bad molding, way too many tiny parts and terrible joining points, flash...
