Are you going to be using MIG powders to weather the kitchen?
I go into one a lot about Israel, i am very pro-Israel. I simply refuse to allow Muslims to use a lie to fuel hatred against the the Jews Or the West!
Those who believe in the lies hang your heads in shame!

I've started work on the Hobby Boss 1/48 M4A3E8, it's not going to bad, there is some filling to do. At the end of the day it's not Tamiya so it don't go together like one but, i like it because of that. You can fill and sand until the cows come home (or you run out of plastic :lol:). Lower hull, just started.  More parts on.  This was the problem, the transmission/final drive where it meets the hull. As you can see the bolt's strip and drive are two parts (filler time). If you look at the box art (like i did) the bolt heads sits proud of the hull but, after looking at some close up's the hull is proud about 1 inch. Now it looks better.   While i was waiting for the hull to go off i built the turret up. That needed filling too only this time i just used plenty of superglue and sanded that down.  Next up is the HVSS suspension bogie and track support rollers.
If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.

I hope you're not putting it on snow, i did a few in snow and two days later Britain was in a white out lol. Models i do now are going to be warm and sunny, let see what happens then.

that looks great is that from Armortek? I love the look of there gear but the full kit to have it shipped and customs would be way more than I could afford and still stay married. Glad you decided to join us.

Glad you decided to join us. No Armortek only makes up to 1/6 scale but this is 1/4 scale, made by Mark-1. Glad you all like my tank, he's happy now!

Very nice and and he's very lucky, you'll have to buy a second tank so you can battle. I checked out the website, good gear that tank would probably cost me about $20,000 Australian with freight Mark-1 Tank Co UK Well worth a look.

Very nice Tiger 2 hatakshi, and welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy your stay here.
Sorry lads, work is a bit slow on the Easy 8, i went to the model shop to get some more masking tape and £50 later, well you know how it works. But i did get some good stuff and one of the models is in 1:16 scale (but i can't till you what it is just yet though). John

I think your best bet is to make it yourself, try www.scale-models.co.uk you'll get all the info you need there (somewhere!!)

I used one on my "October 1944, The Quiet Before The Storm" King Tiger dio. http://www.scale-models.co.uk/tanks/7510-october-1944-quiet-before-storm.htmlThis saves posting new pics.
