Shunsaku Tamiya tribute campaign

Brilliant, thanks. Easy to get hold of and cheap to have a little fun with.

Did a quick Google image search and it looks like all the deck guns had been removed by the time of filming. I’ll keep a lookout for one and create a separate build thread when I do.

Thanks.

Somewhere online a dude did one from the Revall 1/72 Gato, which I must get to myself.

Maybe a “By the way, which one’s Pink?” group build?

Finally started on color coat. “I love the smell of enamel in the morning…drying all week”*

Oh boy, what have I started? Would be fun though.

Incidentally Wish You Were Here is one of my favourite albums, definitely in my top ten.

You’re gonna fly high…

Mine too. A lot of bands that I liked when I was in high school have faded from memory, but the Floyd is one of those where my appreciation has continued if not increased over the years.

I finished my two entries for the GB - 1/48 Fw190 A-8 & D-9. The kits practically assembled themselves and I had a fun time experimenting with various airbrushing & weathering methods. Thank you for letting me be a part of the campaign and I hope to see y’all in the next one.

Cheers :clinking_beer_mugs:

Beautiful work. Congratulations on finishing.

Little more work this weekend.

First got the subs fixed down to their bases with PVA glue. Won’t attack the plastic and any that squeezed out will dry transparent. I’ll leave them for a few days to set before making up the wake and foam.

Made up the cradle for the midget sub. Used thin plastic strip to make up the tie down points. These will need a little trim after they’re set.

And got the markings finished up on the conning tower. I took a pair of hinomaru’s from the supplied aircraft markings. They give 1 spare of each size, and as I have a few of these sheets, I can happily take them knowing I’m not short.
