The Lambro looks like a pretty nice kit. I look forward to seeing it completed.
The figures that came with the kit seem pretty decent. Looks like there a a few mold seams that became visible with the primer, but that is one of the purposes of the primer. It sucks that the seam line runs along the top of the feet, especially on the ones wearing sandals. I have messed up more than one set of toes trying to remove such seams in those locations.
I look forward to seeing those figures painted.
@ James (ReconTL6),
In my haste to get things to primer, I totally forgot to take care of those seams — still working on them. As far as painting goes, I’m going with “arm’s length” viewing … and I’ve got long arms.
Thank’s for having a look!

Hey, Mike. I am starting to prefer arm length viewing in regards to painting figures. It sucks that I am kind of short with short arms. I wish I had longer arms in these instances. Lol
Had a bit of time to do some work on the Mig this afternoon, so got the fuselage closed up.
A little bit of trimming is needed on the edges of the cockpit tub to get it to close up. Not a major problem, but something to look out of anyone else has one of these in their stash.
All goes together well after doing that.
I’ve got the day off from the loft tomorrow, so I can crack on with a little bit more.
Hello everybody!
A little update on my Vietnam-themed projects. More details in their respective build threads.
The Dozer:
I was working on the blade:
I also started to scratchbuild the “house” to match the pictures I have:
As you can see I also detailed the hinges of the battery boxes. In case of the later model “house” they would be covered, but here they will be exposed. I also started to build my own roof.
Dry-fitting looks OK to me:
The tanker:
I installed the 3D printed parts for the chassis and also the cab:
I also started working on the tank. First I had to cut off the later sides:
Then I had to do some fixes and tweaks:
I’ll soon have everything ready for the 3D printed older sides.
Thanks for looking and have a nice day
Got the new decals on, added the stowage and pitot tube…
Now need to make some “spinning” propellors…
Looking good, the figure animation is spot on Michael, 
.
G, 
Everyone’s builds are coming along really nicely.
I got the fuselage finished up and wings attached. Bit gappy at the leading edges.
And first round of filler. I used Vallejo’s plastic putty, left to dry for a few minutes and then wiped off the excess with a damp cotton bud.
I’ll probably use a little thick Mr Surfacer over the top, but the worst is filled.
