#Gliński interesting info, hopefully it is only a problem with lacquers which I don't use but it'll be fascinating to find out if you can get away with just acrylic as Posca pens are suppose to be acrylic too

Watching your efforts

Cheers all,
#Treehugger thanks for info, I just used the lights that came with the cabinet but they are plugged in via a plug controlled by Alexa so. Can just ask her to turn them on or off as and when. When is mainly if I have visitors 🤣.

#Neuling true true 😎

Great collection 👍

Sy Bar
Cheers all for the comments. This kit is interesting as while it not mentioned in the kits instructions the decal sheet does contain the markings for the vehicle in HM Elizabeth's picture! As it's not mentioned you have to take your own punt at the colours and construction versions but it's nice to have the decals 😎

Yeah I saw that in the photo! That's great.

Hi Sy , built this kit on SM not so long ago. I has issues with the fit of the from gun door and fragile decals. Must say you e done brilliantly with the mid fuselage band.. mine wouldn't fit and wrinkled everywhere, I managed to "persuade" the wrinkles to the underside.

I. Also have the Hase AND the old Esci/Italeri in the stash.

Great result by the way , what paint did you use,?

#David H I had problems with the decals too they were both brittle and thick 🤪 it took many applications of the strongest decal softener I had (Ultamate decal setting solution - Extra Strong) even then they only just went down. Can remember if there should have been a decal for the yellow nose but I never tried it and just painted it myself.
The metal paints where AK Interactive Xtreme metals, I know I used AK481 Polished Aluminium and the contrast colour I think was AK480 Dark Aluminium, I was pleased with the result. One word of warning if I was to do again I'd seal the Xtreme paint with a protective coat if I was to use enamel pin wash as the orderless thinner seam to lift the Xtreme paint, luckily I'd primed in grey so the effect luckily gave a weathered look and I finished the "pin wash" with Pro Modeller weathering was Dark Dirt.
Oh one more point just remembered the clear decal film appeared to be affected by the Xtreme paint and showed more than I'd have like so I will definitely try a clear gloss coat before decals and washes next time

Seat all decal'd up next some wash to weather it in and final flat coat

Sy Bar
Seat is in its rightful spot, just the bone dome to go

Hopefully a quick build as Queen Elizabeth II when a princess in WWII

Michael Kohl
Very well done. How about a figure?

Sy Bar
#Kohl I do figures at times (see my Kübelwagen Type 82 album - Kübelwagen Type 82 | Album by Sybar (1:35)) [hope the link is ok to post - is there a correct or best way to link to another SCM album/post?]

But have distinct lack of WWI figures let alone desert WWI figures. But thanks for the kind remarks

Nicolas

Jennifer Franklin
Very nice work and a lovely tribute.

Jan Peters
Excellent job on this golden oldie 👍

Sy Bar
Many thanks all

Sy Bar
Cheers folk for comments.
As for decals while they are only for the orange they are good decal nice n crisp do you could make your own from them as the small rear decal is the same as the front one and as they are black easy to use on clear decal paper no worries about needing a white. I look forward to seeing a green bond bug some time 😁

Jennifer Franklin
Looking good; I like the end result; that is a gorgeous bond bug.

Sy Bar
Quick fun build 🤞
