  1. Is that maple leaf on the fuselage cause it's a Canadian squadron? Yep it is a Royal Canadian Air Force squadron currently based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
  2. Thank you Mark, Compliments are sincerely appreciated, as far as making the Admiral happy, PRICELESS..... 😉 Thank you very much....
  3. Right now I'm checking on the parts delivery holdup on the Bandit.... will consider another when I've got that sorted out..... Probably some sort of Chopper....... another old classic...
  4. Now that is one I don't have in my stash.... (not really being a diecast builder) Watching with keen interest.....
  5. Yeah, that was an explosive growth industry in Germany back in those days....
  6. Thank you all for following, the comments and likes.... It has been a immense pleasure... EG...
  7. Thank you Lou, according to the Admiral (who agrees with you) it's the only place it can be.... THANK YOU! for following and the comments...
  8. Thank you Ken, I was going to put a glamour girl next to her, (hung up in Chinese mail) but the Admiral thinks she isn't needed and would detract from the real lady.... Thank you for following....
  9. Wow, coming from you Jack it is really appreciated given your artistry... Thank You!...
  10. Thank you OC, it means a lot my friend.... I think the wife will take good care of her... Thank you...
  11. Thank you Yves, I think so, and the most important critic, (the Admiral) thinks so too... Thank you for following and the comments...
  12. Thank you KP... coming from you seeing your work high praise indeed! Thank you....
  13. Thank you Ed, yes she is very pleased, thinks it came out better than the last one..... It was a pleasure on my side also Thank you...
  14. Yes Nick the spare tires have a canvas cover... also they are actually tan to match the bonnet, it's just that the bright flash has brought out the white undercoat needed to paint light colors over dark plastic... Thank you...
  15. Well I snuck some time to get her finished..... Mostly what was left is the furniture and accoutrements that a classic car is famous for..... Spare tire boots and its canvas top.... Here they are in primer white.... Assembled and placed in position..... This essentially completes the dressing out of a classy lady.... And the final tour.... And the wife has fallen in love again... she has claimed it and it's going in her big glass case in the living room.... Finished! Thank you for the likes and comments it was a fun trip down memory lane, a pleasant diversion.... EG
  16. Looks great, and I feel real bad right about now for mentioning the tires... I shoulda kept my mouth shut... My sincere apologies.... EG
  17. Well earned my friend a journey to be enjoyed and a tribute to be respected.....
  18. Dark and foreboding truck my friend... nice work.... Would you mind if I make a suggestion? reverse the tires, the treads are pointed the wrong way... I"m sure there were times where a tire got mounted backwards, but not all six of them.... EG
  19. Minor hitch in the giddyup brother, well within your skills as I have seen right on this log.... Don't sweat the small stuff and that is small stuff..... Just make sure it is completely degassed before you try and fix it... Beautiful work a mossy to be proud of.... (I'm sure your father would love it)
  20. The color of the bags depends on where they got them from, Standard US issue were OD green painted heavy burlap, very quickly they turned into a close resemblance to heavily shaded Field Drab, this would be the OD Green muted by the canvas color underlying it...... other than that if they are locally sourced bags they would be anything from light tan/wood color to black... The shape and form sure looks like freshly filled US Army issue sandbags to me... given the fresh refurb condition of the tank, that would be appropriate... (btw... you might want to paint the cannon's muzzle black before you use it) Beautiful work by the way, can't wait to see your setting...
  21. I know that my friend, it follows the line of the reinforcing... Beautiful job with those decals...
  22. Bloody OUTSTANDING!!!! Nice job, Great Recovery my friend...
  23. Good looking work, not going to say much about the type model or version as it is just a practice piece, but what I see looks good for a refurbed M4A1 with 76.2mm gun....
  24. With us it was the local Boys Club that had an indoor .22 range, you would have to wait for two hours for your turn, get in line that would circle the room on shooting night... Hundreds of 10-14 year olds learning to shoot straight...... (and handle weapons responsibly)
