It has been a long time since I posted on this forum. To be honest I am rarely posting anywhere lately. I have looked in now and again but just could not seem to hit the keys. The last few years has been a road I never believed I would walk. Faced some things that I never wanted to believe...

Thank you both. Joe

Time for another update. The final update. Yes she is finished. Here is the finished Tacom King Tiger Porshe Turret, 1/35. The main colors are from the Mig. There are a few AK as well as others as needed. The weathering is minimal. Wanted a display piece but not pristine...

Thank you both. Joe

1/35 Tacom King Tiger Color And now for a brief update on the Tacom King Tiger Porshe turret. This post is all about color. Started painting using Mig Ammo paints. The names escape me for the moment but the pictures will tell the story. First up was Stynlrez Metal Primer. Over that went...

Many thanks sir. Joe

1/35 Tacom King Tiger W/Porsche Turret Its Back Guess what is back on the bench. Tacom 1/35 King Tiger. Did just a little since the last time I showed it. Not much to be honest. Had to refresh my mind as to how I was going to tackle it. One thing that is done is the cuts are made...

I had thought about that but just wasn't sure. That side is however missing something, the hydraulic system. One of the things that glares to me when I look at the pictures. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Weathering Begun Well crap. Thanks MP, truly. That one really just avoided me. I have done that on every bird I have weathered. Sadly for this one I had put a coat or two of flat over those before I started the other streaking. But I have filed it away. Again thank...

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Weathering Begun Ok friends a post with two objectives. First: I have begun the weathering on the 1/32 Hasegawa P-40E. Using both a cheap set of oils and Abteilung 502 paints. I want to give this build a finish that suggests a story of an aircraft that has seen some hard...

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Markings Thank you for looking in. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Markings That was my thought as well and that caused me to reset to default on all adjustments. This is with iso at 200, white balance is florescent with adjustments to get the green to show, the exposure is +3. Going to have to ponder this and play with it more. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Markings An update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. This is a happy but yet unhappy update. First the happy. The markings are on. I have done just a little chipping so far with more subtle weathering to follow. Next up will be an oil filter to try to tone down the...
