Oh dear.

I’m overcommiting myself again. But this would go well with my B-17 for the Fortress Campaign.

Beautiful choice, Michael. The checker tails are very attractive!

I love the box design - I hope eduard releases that as a poster as they sometimes do.

I probably won’t do that scheme, tbh. But the kit looks beautiful!

I think I want to do one of these once (or if) they release:

I’m thinking about one of those new ICM AH-1G cobra gunships from the Vietnam war.

Welcome onboard, guys!

Great choices - it is really a golden age for model builders with so many cool choices!

My Takom Jagdpanzer 38 could have gone better. I want a rematch.

Possible alternative if I get really, really brave…

It will be one of those two.

Great choices! I should not buy any more kits, but I need that wurger. I love the snake markings.

I’m going to do either S Models Casablanca class or Flyhawks T-35 class torpedo boat

I will endeavor to build the Mark 1 Models 1/144 BAC 1-11 500 kit that was released last fall. I have never built a kit from this manufacturer before so really have no idea how it is going to go together, though it does look good on the sprue.

I haven’t built a helicopter in some time but this one was on a screaming deal over the holidays.

Figured it would look great as an early CH-147

I may be tempted to join with the new Zvezda KA-52 Alligator that just arrived, been a long time since joining a campaign!
Still waiting for the Quintas studios rotor head, and side mounted cannon to arrive

I’ve coated the whole lot in matt white primer and then added a metal coat to the two sprues after i had removed the body parts.
the leg and body sections have been painted in DAK light brown with a top coat misted on using tamiya red brown and additional matt red added.

well lastnight i gave some of the kit i painted a protective clear flat coat using tamiya’s flat clear in a spray can and this morning i woke up to this, the paint cracking down to the primer coat, anyone have any ideas what i did wrong?

You didn’t let the primer cure before you put the color coat on. The two paints dried at different rates, causing the cracking.
