Just bought another 1/77 Ford Tri-Motor kit and I want to try to hand paint over the corrugated surface!
Or should I try masking it up?

Well, I knew I wasn't going to get to go to Armorcon next week (which meant no AK table for me to visit ) so I "had to" place an order with Michtoy. Hey, they had the two Rinaldi books in stock too!

One of best parts of going to model shows... extra stowage for trip back home! Nice stuff Big John... I know thats right!!! I scored this Dragon Tiger at the IMPS SuperCon on Sat. Been wanting this for 2 years and got it complete with all parts still in the wrappers for $30.00!! Also got this decal sheet with Gunther Rall's Black no.13 markings. Thats what im gonna build with my Hasegawa Bf109 G2 i got at the same show last year. WOOHOOO!!!!!! It was a good day for Mr. McBoggs! Looks like everybody has had an early Christmas! Great goodies for all!!!! brother gary ! wow, Rock on roll ! Congratulations to you ! I got one kit in my stash ( I've got four kits dragon 1/35 tiger I series ) same as your tiger I with Zimmerit, it is best ever of the kit ! I haven't time build with any tiger I model yet but still read & study with lots of my book tiger family in my hobbies room for 10 years. Hope start build with tiger I by this December. But have to 1st clear out of my 10 odd project lol. :-p ;-)

From the demon that is evil bay The online reviews I've seen about this one were quite posistive. My own favourite (for the moment at least) is the 3rd one on the right- with or without the roller- it just all the different shades of brown that catch my eye. Looks like a Leatherneck version. Really great value for money with this as so much of the plastic is destined for the spares box. I also have an idea two in mind already for the mine plough that is included.

Paul. A 5 in 1? Holy spit. I think what you should do is take every part in the kit and stick it on the tank somewhere. That way you won't be filling up your extra's boxes.

In keeping with the Japanese tank theme, I just scored a Fine Molds Japanese Army Tank Destroyer Type 3 "HON-III". I was looking at getting another Tamiya Type 1 75MM BUT, I took one look at this and I had to have it. Same chassis as the Type 1 but a different citadel. Aaaahh! Jeff

Oh, you must tell us more about those "cylindrical tires" for that JEEP! Jeff

Post by imatanker on Sept 22, 2013 5:42:39 GMT -5
Good morning Gents, those tires and wheels are for loose sand, mud, ect. They are high floatation to help keep the vehicle from digging into the soft stuff. I don't know if the military used them or not,even though they are shown on a Jeep. Surplus maybe? They are used modern day on sand dragsters,dune buggies in the desert, and swamp buggies. I'd put up a video but I can't figure out how to do it with this I-Pad Hope that helps.
