Evening all, more progress with the Jeep, after setting the chasis on one side it was time to build the body, this comes in many sections including the floor pan / sides / back / front and bonnet, these were glued without fuss, then time for lots of little fittings like handles etc, then I started the painting process starting in the inside - then I made the seats including cushions and painted these a dark buff and RAF grey colour. I continued adding parts then painted the outside of the body and underneath, I finished off by adding a wash underneath and do a bit of high lighting. There is still an engine that I could put inside from underneath - it wont be seen unless from underneath through the chasis. One of the pics shows it dry fitted to the chasis. OC.

Looking good Joe. OC. -
I find it helps to secure the top section first - make sure it propper secure then push the belt down with a bit of super glue under the belt say applied by a fine tooth pick or similar - then pushed in place with another pick, then same with the lap belts - secure the sides first. OC.

Looking mighty fine bro, those PE belts are fiddly little critters aren't they? but they do look the "Dogs ....." though. OC.

Thank you Edward, doesn't it just, some amazing people out there. OC.

These are the figures and doggy - they are posionable and can swap body parts (that sounds bad) OC.

I think it stands out quite nicely in that colour bro, dont foreget its gonna get a RAF roundel on the bonnet also. OC.

It will indeed Mark, have it in my head how I want to set it up - the idea (plan) is that the crew have been driven out to mossie in the jeep, they have got out hanging around near the plane - one of the pilots is on the entrance ladder the other is behind, the plane has been having some minor repairs (me dad still up one of the ladders near mossie) some other staff milling around, in the trailor there is a work bench and some other stuff packed ready to go back to the hanger, the dog is standing on the back seat of the jeep - all jolly. Well thats just an idea. OC.

I aim to please Lou, I have a cunning plan how to set it up - it should be quite busy with me dad loitering around somewere near the mossie, there is even a doggy. OC.

Hi all, so I dived right in - my freebies consisted of - a Superb looking mat looks like its part grass - part slabs made from a kind of stiff rubber, then there is a kit of RAF WW2 airfield staff including a pilot and some equipment, last a jeep and trailer. I decided to start with the jeep - I am doing it as a RAF version with the open top with the trailor (this will contain some of the equipment from the figure kit) First I assembled the chasis then painted it RAF Blue/Grey then ran a few washes over it finished off with some high lighting, I havn't built a vehicle in a long long time and never in 1/48 last was in 1/35. OC.

They are sometimes horribly over size also especially seats. OC.

Right the frontal assembly is now complete - I had to first mask (put a bag over the cockpit tub) and spray the intake ducts before attaching the fan unit, next will be some detail to create inside the cockpit/fuselage sides. OC.

Looking good mate. OC.

Hi all, more work today - next stage was to construct the main wheel well, this is made up of Four parts and contains some good engraving like the front, after cleaning up some of the edges (nothing drastic - just where the pips from the spru were joined) I then did a few washes of dull white, then when dry - same procedure with a dirty wash, then a bit of alum high lighting, I then glued both parts of the front wheel well together. The airbrake pit them got a coat of flat alum and a wash, also I glued the front fan to the assembly and dry fitted against the front wheel well assembly. OC.

Thank you Edward. OC.

Thank you for that, it is rather well moulded, I will have to add a bit of scratch work on the side walls in the cockpit as they are a bit bare. OC.
