Alex Ok, now please scratch-build a Grosstractor, I would like to see one from ICM, too

Michael Valentan I did already...years are gone since i finished it, maybe i find it in my "already finished and now placed in storage"-place...was a really large thing, around 50 centimeters long and about 25 wide and 10 cm high...if i remember right. Built it out of white sheets of Plastic (like Evergreen) from my shop for accessories in architecture...we have one in Vienna!

Alex You should inconspicuously post some pics where the good people from ICM can "discover" them

Rui S Or us in scalemates

Michael Valentan Ok, i will...maybe i have some build-phase-pics somewhere in a file...have to look!

Alex Looking forward to it....

Michael Valentan Ok, album is on...look for K-Wagen oder Grosstraktor

Alex-Ovidiu Mihailescu Philippe, story goes somehow the same . Everything starts with a question like : When do you build a plane?
Then it goes like this : two days after I start a build comes the following question: is it not ready yet? After a couple of days: your tools and stuff are all over the place , if someone comes in our house they trip over because of your stuff . So I have to work on the kitchen table or on the living room table and than , at the end of the day pack things up and store them until next time. As for the kits they are stuffed on top of the closets and wherever there's a tiny place . So I think Sören is one of the lucky ones.

coporado Very nice place to be Sören

Rob Yes, Alex, I had that until we built own own place, too. I now have my own modelling room to hide in and I never have to pack anthing up if I don't want to!

Sören Reifert Thx a lot Sascha

Alexander G. I like workplaces and yours seems to be very cozy and well organized Even with a scalemates logo!

Miro Herold Why looks it so clean? I would'n show you my dirty workplace because my shameles

Sören Reifert Thx Alxeander

@ Miro
It always looks like that

Andreas Koziol Unser aller Lieblingsplatz!

Alec K Great dioramas! Nice work

Gaius Baltar Thanks Mate!

Clifford Keesler Very nice work.

Gaius Baltar Thanks Mate!

Thomas Kirschbaum very impressive!

Gaius Baltar Thank you!

Spanjaard i really like the Roswell one

Ben M One build a week....

Gerald Jonker I stil forget the Fokker D.XXI and Fokker C.X

Gerald Jonker Now on the workbench a NH90, Fokker D.VII, 4 Phantoms 1/72 (Italeri) and a F-4E "32 TFS" 1/32 Tamiya

Gerald Jonker 2018 I have build 20 models (4 months I have not built by health problems)

Kees Kleijwegt You've got a busy 2019 ahead of you Gerald! Following with interest

Ben M Gerald: Ryan STM-S2

Gerald Jonker Because I am ill I do not buy any more models☹

I have forgot the Hawker T.7 and PC.7 Turbo Trainer

Gerald Jonker For a while back I have many Dutch Aircraft models sold; Farman FH22, Fokker C.V, Fokker C.I, Fokker T.VIII, Catalina PBY5, Martin Mariner, Grumman Avenger, Lynx, Sea Fury, CH-47 and F-16AM Demo

Arash Zakeri I love them all

Clifford Keesler I want Revell's new 1/32 Spitfire MKIX. and ME-262.

C Marques de Sá WOW! Fantastic collection! Loved it! Loved the photos of the finished models, so many spitfires! Also liked the photos of the stash, one is not so visible, I am curious...

Gordon Sørensen Heller Spitfire XVI built when I was 12 or so.....37 years ago! Had to fix a prop tip, and cast a new gear leg/landing gear door and pitot tube.

Augie Nice collection beware of the styrene addiction.. it sneaks up on a person.

Clifford Keesler Nice collection. Yes I know I am a confirmed styrene addict, bad.

Gordon Sørensen I think I have had a stash since I was 6 years old, so I do qualify as a Styrene Addict! The Heller Spit, Revell Stearman, and Frog Ta-152 are the oldest, all built in the early '80s...There are 22 Spitfires in my display case, with 3 more on the bench.

Gordon Sørensen Got these Nail Polish Holders from aliexpress for $2.25 (including shipping!). Kind of a tight fit for the Micro-Sol bottle or a Model Master paint bottle, but should help prevent spills...

Gary Nice work. Great weathering!! Gary

Davide Rassati Very nice!

Rui S I think this is a nice Jagdpanther model and a great OOB work on it. Congratulations, Gaius.
However (I hope you don't mind me saying IMHO, because I think it's a positive critic), the end result would have gained much if the decals had received the same weathering treatment.

Gaius Baltar That's a good suggestion Rui S, I will take care on the next tank, thank you!

gorbygould That 'wounded Tiger' is very good Gaius

Gaius Baltar Thank you, I really appreciate your comment!

Thomas Kirschbaum nice works !

Gaius Baltar Thanks mate!

Kim Branders

Brian Eberle Fantastic build of a `46 panzer.

Choppa Nutta great build

Michael Franz Thanks a lot

Stefan Schacht wow, great weathering

43 Rascarcapaco Good job mate!! top notch

Andreas Koziol one of my upcoming models. a really inspiring example!

Spanjaard certainly no lack of imagination

Bernd Müller A very nice Nell in good company. All 1:72 ?

Lost_Erik Nice collection. I particularly like the G3M3.

Charles Villanueva Bernd the Nell is 72nd scale the Zero's and George are 48th

Nathan Dempsey Here's another ugly one! I painted this one in a winter scheme as homage to some beatiful armor kits I had seen at a model contest.

Choppa Nutta

Nathan Dempsey Thanks! I had posted the album for this kit a while ago and realized there was no project attached to it. Glad you enjoyed.

Erik Leijdens Very nice project! I'm in

Ben STONE That 2a-U2 version of the 262 is my favourite, looks mean.

Nathan Dempsey Added a few pics of nose art ideas for the recon version and a camo idea for the U2.

Nathan Dempsey Added pictures of the completed kits so far. Two more to go!

Spanjaard wonderful so far, i am certainly in and expecting the grand finale when the full squadron takes flight

Erik Leijdens Ah wow mate! They all look great! Very good builds and paint jobs. Can't choose which I like most! Eager to see the others. What versions will that be?

Wim van der Luijt I agree with Erik they all look really good. I'm curious to see the turboprop version.

Spanjaard I got three 262 in my stash, plus detail set for all of them..... looking forward to build them, pity not to have more time.....

Steve Wilson

scalemates hehe ... now the error is present for eternity

Urban Gardini But it's a removable one...

Rex I hope that the various AMT/Matchbox releases are not considered "one of the errors on SM",,,,,because they were really three different releases of the model.

Urban Gardini No, that wasn't the error back then. See, they're in two different groupings. But that's fixed since long ago.

Rex oh, sorry,,,,,,,,,,I didn't look at the dates

I logged in, clicked the newsfeed, and this was at the top, so I posted on it.

I see why it was there, too,,,,,,,it became a "current topic" when new photos were added to it,,,,,,so, silly me, I actually thought it really was something current.

Urban Gardini The two last ones is current and describing my problem.

scalemates I'll check in the weekend!

Es-haq Khosravi Great job!

Choppa Nutta very nice

Gary Very nice of an unusual plane. Gary

antonio coral great job, very nice plane! greetings from Colombia

Bernhard Schrock Thank you mates. I'm glad that you like them.

Daniel Klink Mindblowing built fantastic
1997...Lecko Funny Tante Anni

Neuling Perfect.

antonio coral Amazing work! congrats!

Rui S Loking good , nice camo, Gábor

Eric This is great! Love that thick frontal armor, and the wiring on the Bosch looks nice.

Ulf Petersen This is a phantastic camo scheme, Gábor! Great that you included the brown and green in the highlighting. Looking forward to the next update.

Gábor Bélik Thanks guys.
I used 11 colores for that modulation.

Gábor Bélik Resurrected from the shelf of doom 3 years later

Rui S Cool weathering

James C Very cool.

Thomas Bischoff absolutely stunning this camo! Very nice work Jens!

Christian Friedenberger Die Lackierung ist der Wahnsinn!

Spanjaard what a beautiful camo!

Clifford Keesler Very nice as always Jens.

Jens Thank you, thank you, thank you James C, Thomas Bischoff,
Christian, Spanjaard, Clifford Keesler, the model was already created in 2013, at that time I had as a template a photo of a prey MiG 3 on a wagon in Russia, described as a plane from Stalingrad, but it was originally from the Baltic Front and was there with the change to Hurican to Stalingrad delivered, at the time the production of the MiG 3 was already stopped, as I said, the model was built in 2013 in the summer and was yesterday with an exhibition near Leipzig

Bart Goesaert That camo looks extremely nice... splendid work, but we know that the AB doesn't have many secrets for you...

Jens Thanks Bart, I'm glad if the MiG you like, I've done with the Revell student and fine nozzle, now I have IWATA and Tamiya, but still the Revell remains a faithful companion

Glenn . Well maybe if she's STUPID!!! Otherwise she could end up very well off with loads of new shoes and handbags! My girlfriend might be able to buy a Porsche or have a world trip!

Kim Branders Lol

Glenn . I keep telling myself "I DO NOT HAVE COMPULSIVE COLLECTORS DISORDER!!!!" "I DO NOT HAVE COMPULSIVE COLLECTORS DISORDER!!!!" "I DO NOT HAVE COMPULSIVE COLLECTORS DISORDER!!!!" "I DO NOT HAVE COMPULSIVE COLLECTORS DISORDER!!!!" but you shouldn't listen to the voices in your head anyway....

Spanjaard LMAO :

Steve Wilson Hi My name's Steve, I'm mumble mumble years old, I live in London UK, I've been a K - K - K... a... K - K - K... Kol... (kough)... I have been a Kollektor of M - M - M... Model kits for many years, sinse I was six in fakt... It's time I admitted I have a problem... I DO NOT have, see see D... I have KKD... Kompulsive Kollektors Disorder. Yes... finaly I kan kome out and admit (sob!) I kan't pronounse the letter SEE...

Well... what other problem did you think I had??? honestly some people.
No wait a minute... don't go... please... kome back... I DO have another problem... Honest!!!

Clifford Keesler I defentiley have compulsive collectors disorder.

Treehugger Blocking out the sun..

Jean-Michel Tilquin So true...

Stefan Fraundorfer Thanks for sharing these nice pics. From the shown fighters I have four in my stash. And when I see your pictures I have to build them as soon as possible.

Francky I know the feeling. The stash always wins

Bart Goesaert interesting... thanks for the hint...

Francky how one can learn some tricks from an old monkey

Michael Hickey Your work in 1/72 is just brilliant and absolutely a treat for the eyes. I wish I could do my dioramas in 1/35 half as good as yours in 1/72.

Alexander G. What do you all mean 1:35? With the right lighting and photography it would easily pass as 1:1! Incredible, never seen that density of detail in that scale. The figures seem so real!

M Nicolas thank you all for your kind comments ! Next project will be… I hope… theatrical and gigantic !

Spanjaard Looking forward to it!

seb H superbe nicolas, bravo !!

Burkhard D That is pretty impressive, wouldn't have guessed 1/72

Zsolt Czegle Awesome work!

Thomas Kirschbaum impressive work!

Michael Wohltmann It´s great !!!

Ronan Thanks mates
@Bart : yes the grey scheme is very nice but get so dirty, i've seen one of them last year on Evreux air base. The french C160 transall are aslo very inetresting for modellers... 50 shades of grey

Bart Meeldijk Haha, this one is much, much better! Still trying to figure out your 'shading' technique. Really looks great with all these subtle hi-lights!

Xander Jansen very nice job!!!

Patrick Hagelstein Really impressive!!!

Daniel Klink Perfect job Ronan! Nothing else to say

Konrad Limmer Very nice Ronan! Like it mate !

Ronan many thanks, mates

JOHN THOMAS Wow, Clifford that really cool that you worked on that Aircraft.

Clifford Keesler Thanks John. I am glad that a few have survived and are in musuems and not all blown up. I think there is another one on Display a Holliman AFB, that I also worked on. We converted 188 A's and B's to target drones.

JOHN THOMAS My album for T.C. Bradley

Spanjaard wow, missed this album before, amazing stuff to see! thanks for sharing.

Glenn . Great photos of some big firecrackers John

JOHN THOMAS Thanks, Glenn and Spanjaard

Marcel Klemmer These picutures are always worth to be looked at.

JOHN THOMAS Marcel, Thanks

M.Julian Marles thanks for the pics!

Matthias Weiss That's a hell lot of paints you have there, compared to my little Vallejo stock...
I want more paints!!

Holger Kranich Looks like a comfy place!

Norbert Steffens This is a huge place.....how many rooms do you have?

Eugen P. I think I know it from the Flugwerft Schleissheim In original it looks really good

Reinhart Bartsch Klasse gemacht

Es-haq Khosravi Great job!

doctorcolor Great GM

Spanjaard excellent job!

Timothy Heimer Just awesome work!

Bart Goesaert Nice model, beautiful casted too, too bad the lower hull in 3D print is very costly for it's size...

Martien Lourens Very nice Dutch collection.

arne vd burg Pretty cool collection you got there Gerald

Gerald Jonker Thanks, This collection consists of models that have built in the 80's to the present day

Gordon Sørensen Great looking collection, Gerald!

Łukasz Gliński Very nice collection. Nice to see another Revell's "Dutch Spezial" finished Jealous of your Atlantic & F-27

Alan Rush Nice collection. You mentioned service in the Navy and I detect a certain bias toward naval aviation. Nice tip of the hat to the Canadian Armed Forces with the Hawk you have finished.

Gareth Windsor Thanks Alan. Yes, I have quite the collection of Fleet Air Arm models waiting for my attention. I'm 23 years in the Royal Navy and still going. As for the Canadian connection, the wife is from Toronto.

Alan Rush OK. I live in Courtice, just east of Toronto, next to Oshawa. I worked for a time in Scarborough as well. I grew up in Windsor, Ontario and after a few other places have settled here with my family.
I am collecting some kits to mark as Canadian vehicles, especially for the Ontario Regiment, which is based in Oshawa. I volunteer at the Regiment museum and wanted to finish some kits for their time in Italy in WWII.

John E Great stuff, Gareth! I like the pic of the Swordfish on the Merlin. hehe

Kerry Cox What a pleasant surprise to find when logging back in after a few days away.
An awesome collection of aircraft Gareth.

Especially the Swordfish. !
But where did you get that launch controller from. ???

Spanjaard great collection!, yes, the pilot is giving all his attention to the controller, no doubt

Dave Flitton Nice collection

Kevin Farrell Wow!! You just saved me from having to research the History of Earth to find the color schemes on the R-1820l! Your's looks fantastic and I am going to unashamedly copy every brushstroke!

Thanks for letting look over your shoulder!
evin

Felix Troschier wonderfully built - BSH Models at his best!

Steve Desarzens Amazing work Bernhard ! Respect

Sebastijan Videc just perfect!

Christian Meyerhoff Perfect work! Love every bit of it.

Shahriar Khalvati excellent job!

Pierre-Christian Baudru Great job ! Cheers, Pierre.

Norbert Steffens Fantastic. Looks like real.

Kerry Cox This is EXACTLY the same as "Clear fix".
Water soluble and perfect for applying decals.
Also, perfect for fixing clear parts in place.

James C Thanks for that mate, will keep an eye out for it. I've already got a small 28ml bottle of Humbrol clear fix in the stash that I use for attaching my aircraft canopies. I used Pledge floor care "Finish" as my clear coat to seal and protect the paint as well as to create a flat surface for the decals to adhere to. Strangely, I've not had the white residue problem using it before now though.
I'm praying that another clear coat of the Pledge will fix my current problem.

Kerry Cox Unfortunately, Pledge is a different compound from what you get in the shaky isles, . But the Elmers is my constant companion on the decal side of my modelling.
Cheers mate.

Clifford Keesler Do you use it straight from the bottle or do you mix it with something?

David Barclay Hi Kerry! I too wonder if you use straight or dilute??

Thanks in advance!

Rui S Hey Kezza,
I'm wondering if you use this all over the kit, like mates do with Pledge floor care, or just in places with decals?

Kerry Cox Rui, NO.
This is used only where the decal will go, with all the excess wiped away with a damp cloth after all decals have dried and "set".
Then, the final sealing coat of clear is applied.
The Elmers glue is water based, like the glue that was originally on the decals before they are slid off the backing paper, and so, this lets you clean the whole model without any 'residue' remaining.
I should actually make a short video of the process, as it is so easy to do, but the results are just awesome.
Cheers mate.
KC.

Rui S Hey mate,
Thank you. I thought so. And you use it oob?

Kerry Cox I try not to drink it OOB, as it does taste like raspberry. , but yes, just a small amount on a clean surface you can dip your brush into is all you need. .

Rui S Hehehe you better drink a beer Mate.
Thank you

Kerry Cox All is good mate.

Mike Kryza Hi Augie, hi mates - thx a lot for your nice comments. Sorry for the late answer, but today we exhibit in a little event in Leipheim. (Was possible to look at SCM, but could not write...) Meet some mates and spent some nice hours with them.
-- And as I wrote in the introduction this is a very good kit. One of the best kits I've ever held in my hands. Not cheap - but it's worth.
New pics will be uploaded after my "comfortable hours" but this may take some time.
And Frank, you can nearly copy what you want...

Eelco Gregoire This is a really great kit. I built one myself, photos are online too.

Holger Kranich Glorious result, Mike! A feast for the eyes!

Jonns Pfeiffenberger I saw this pile of metal yesterday, and I must say that it looks even better in real life! now let him even go through the dirty brittany!

Mike Kryza Thx - not yet ready - Patience please...
@Jonns - thx. Sometimes pics are better and somtimes real life is better.

bonifacio sobrino A wonderfull job!!

Christian Bruer Very nice

Mike Kryza Thx a lot mates.

Holger Kranich Hey Essi, do you think its possible to etch german or US dogtags? Or dogtags generally?

Es-haq Khosravi Of course Holger! Why not! Very good idea!

Acki Support your local (Iranian) Model dealer! Today I got my set of glasses. Everything went perfect.

Es-haq Khosravi Thank you Acki! It is my pleasure!

Holger Kranich Oh the god of pe let etched brass rain on us! Cant wait to wear my new glasses! LOL

Es-haq Khosravi Lol!

babak chalangi excellent work essi

Es-haq Khosravi Thank you dear Babak!

Rui S Be welcome Clifford. My pleasure, mate.

Rui S Schürzen with Ostketten.

John Dunbar Hey Rui, great new stuff in MT! Thanks a lot!!

Rui S Hi John.
This post was already there, but thank you very much anyway for your nice comment. Glad you like it Mate

Rui S @ Spanjaard,
Thank you for your comment.
You are not the first mate to say that the albums should be shorter.
That was why I created the MT2.
No I don't think that is possible to upload more than 6 photos at once.
My MT albums where mounted in various occasions but as you say it takes a lot of patience and care.
I always enjoy to share other mates interests with my reference books and magazines.
Also I take real pleasure helping mates, especially if with the same topic interest.

Zoltán Balogh Nice collection Rui. Thank You for bringing my attention to it.

Rui S Hi Zoltán,
Thank you for your comment, and be welcome.
The Military Thinking (MT) is for all mates that like mainly WW II German AFV themes like my self (but not only) and there are now already 4 MT

Rui S The HE-219, PART I and PART II. A beautiful and innovative WWII aircraft.
I was really impressed with the length of the fuselage of this FIGHTER aircraft in 1/32 scale.

Jens einem Airbrushprofi wie Dir kann man nichts vormachen Danke für das Kompliment

Martien Lourens Ich bin seit 2 jahre kein profi mehr aber hobby airbrusher. Das gibt kein stress . Aber du hast schöne linien, kringen gezogen. Ohne unterbrechungen und spetter. Das ist doch mal was und konsentration. Übung bezahlt sich immer aus. Oder du bist eim natur talent. Ich habe die linien nicht kontroliert. Ein fehler in linien sieht man gleich.

Jens alles ist stück für stück gemacht , ausser am Leitwerk, da habe ich Linien gezogen,aber, ich habe eben bei den neuen Bilder aber dann doch einen kleinen Felck entdeckt, da habe ich wohl ohne Luftstop gedreht

Jens so Tamiya Heinkel 219 completed, on the neighbor bell Monster
I think even 2 biplane fun on model building, and then the Ju 88 G1 and G6, of course meanders

Christian Ristits Very impressive Jens, cool "underwater" camouflage!

Jens Danke Christian Unterwasserlackierung für Mäander iss mir auch neu speicher ich mal für die Antworten in den einzelnen Foren

James C Very nice mate. Looking forward to see what you do with the 1/32 scale version.

Clifford Keesler Very nice Jens. A beautiful model. I have the 1/32 one.

gorbygould There are some good models here Gaius, well done.

Gaius Baltar Thanks mate!

Es-haq Khosravi Really nice jobs! Great job!

Łukasz Gliński Nice, I like Henschel and Wessex the most

Aaron Liles Great! Thank you for sharing

ice As a helicopter guy, I really like your collection.

Gaius Baltar Thanks mates!

James Turnbull Nice. Go on the Brits!

Gerald Jonker Thanks, Two of my German Tornado`s be loaned to the UK Tornado SIG, and can be seen in the UK by meetings
on the tables of the Tornado SIG

Mike Daniels Great collection of Airfix models. Very well done. You need four more Hawks for the full set of Red Arrows !! I did the full nine when I was a kid with the Airfix Gnat.

Michael Hickey Cool looking Buccaneer, I really need to get into some of the Airfix 1/48 Buccaneers that I have, she's such a beast.

Gerald Jonker Mike Daniels, once I had nine Reds, but for have been destroyed☹

Holger Kranich Looks even good in british markings!

Sören Reifert Amazing work and the camo is superb!

Christian Bruer Excellent work , I much like the weathered German markings and new British markings - seems to be painted?

Thomas Poelkemann right, it is.

Spanjaard no idea how i missed this one before.... what a beautiful camo!!!

Norbert Steffens Yes you're right. It's more than interesting that there are several ways to create good sea scapes. Up to now, I only tried silicon, with good results, but i think only when there isn't a rough sea. But lets see what Sven result will look like

Sven Schönyan So, after a while I came back to my Intrepid. Because the first water didn´t turn out as desired I built a new one. First I had to cut off the old styrofoam and apply a new one. After shaping the waves (a little bit smaller now) and cutting a opening for the hull they got a coat of plaster stone. With a little sanding I smoothed it the seascape and applied another layer of plaster this time an air drying type.
Because I want to get a good fit of the hull I first textured the plaster on one side of the hull and after a day of drying the other side.

Christian Bruer Interesting but time consuming technique.

Martin o I am going to buy this kit one day despite having no space for it.. The build is going nicely! Nice job on the hagar floor weathering!

Lode Schildermans Smooth job, Sven. Curious how it will look in the diorama

Norbert Steffens Big effort for your scape, but looks quite good so far.

Martin Oostrom A large project it is. Like the rest I'm curious how she'll end up. The start looks very promising

Sven Schönyan Thank you guys for your comments! It´s still a long way to go. Yesterday the plaster wasn´t as dry as expected so no work on it. Hope to find some time during this week.

Peter Hardy Thanks for putting on display again Kerry. Truely inspirational!

Kerry Cox That was posted over 2 years ago mate. But I am glad I did.
As you can see. Camilla and Vegard are a couple from Norway. Delightful people I should say hi to again real soon. vepe

Sören Reifert Some fantastic builds my friend

Kerry Cox Soren. Thank you my friend, but I have built a few over the last few years, and some, well before I joined this happy band of brothers.

Vegard Øksenholt

Lode Schildermans Thanks for sharing this magnificant pictures, Kerry. No words can describe what I see, but Yoda. You're a true master of modeling

Peter Hardy Hear hear.

Kerry Cox Thank you all.
Vegard. Again, I apologise for the slack contact mate.
Lode. Your kind words are a real boost mate.
Peter, I will call you soon and have a chat.
Cheers.

Lode Schildermans Always a pleasure to look at ships in diorama. I hope one day I'll be able to build one myself.
Christian, a top build, as always

Guus Christian you never fail to amaze me. That is truly magical !

Christian Bruer Kerry, thx for sharing the dynamic diorama. I much like it, excellent craftsmanship!

Thank you all Gentleman for your very kind comments and interest.

Cheers, Christian

Kerry Cox It certainly makes us want to do even better when we see others works and skills on display.
I love what we are all capable of and all of us are just as talented as 'them'.

Christian Bruer Indeed that's the way progress will be made! Look to each other, learn from each other.

Kerry Cox Christian. So very true master.

Martien Lourens This is another nice piece of craft from your hands. awesome

Christian Bruer Thank you Kerry and Martien. I'm glad you like it

Gábor Bélik After approx 2 years sitting in a drawer I finally decided to repaint it and use it for a testbed for new techniques. Critiques are welcome

Clifford Keesler How did I miss this one? Fantastic.

Spanjaard i missed it too... great job

Augie very nice!

Philip De Keyser Thanks mates!

Ed Froix Also very beautiful

Philip De Keyser

Cuajete Very nice work. Congratulations!
Which brand and scale is the model?

Philip De Keyser Thanks Cuajete, this the Weekend Kit from Eduard in a 48 Scale
Grtz, Phil

Terry Healey Fine job

Chris Parsons I've worked on cross ram double 4 barrel hemis, my own 440 six pack dodge, and early corvette crossfire injection systems and thought I knew some nasty systems.... but 4 Buick mechanical injection systems driving both ends of the car? .... that's just nasty!

Kerry Cox Apparently, Tommy was never allowed to "Compete" with the 'Showboat', having to content himself with "Demonstration runs". Poor bugger. It was a real asphalt destroyer.

Peter Hardy A W E S O M E ! I dips me lid to the work put in so far Kez! Work of passion.

Kerry Cox I have managed to try three times before on this kit but with no luck. Mainly because it a really old kit from the 50's.
The dies were crap then, and there has been no 'updating or retooling' like some other kits I know, so I do my best to bring it up to some sort of a presentable quality that I could compete with.
Peter, your words of encouragement mean a lot and they keep my interest up. Thanks my good friend.
Kez.

James C You've done an amazing job so far on cleaning up the parts on this oldie mate.
Looking superb!

Kerry Cox James. Thank you my friend.
There is a LOT of plastic on my workshop floor.
It would be fantastic if the dies of this kit were blueprinted to bring it up to a better result and standard.
But I have had a lot of enjoyment getting the beast to this stage, having seen all the problems arise from the first two and having a better idea of the problems and remedies.
'Keep on truckin'. hahahaha
Cheers.

James C Just goes to show that you can't beat experience!

Kerry Cox That is for sure James. repetition sucks some times. But I am not complaining.
