Thank you denis. OC. -
Evening all, I managed to get a bit more work done on the tractor, I am basically making it look quite bashed up dirty with lots of use, as I asume they would be. OC.

I agree also it looks really good, I think what might be distracting away from the fine finish is not having the rest of the plane completed - then it will really shine through and look mighty impressive. Your doing a fine job bro.👍 OC.

I have owned two french cars a Megane and a Citroen ZX, both quite decent cars. OC.

Like a how to tell what sex your snowman is - snow balls... OC.

Thought I should mention that at 1/48 scale these things including the jeep are actually quite small, the jeep is about 2 - 3 inches long, and my pics are quite close up showing more than 1/1 scale. OC.

"Hey brother" - I'm liking that, I so get where you are going with this it will look Stunning. OC.

There a faded grey/black but deffinatley more towards a black side than the RAF Blue - the light (strong from above) probably didn't help. OC.

Very nicely done Denis - she came out just fine. OC.

More progress this evening - first I bashed up the Jeep with washes and high lighting, then I painted and added "Red" the setter, she jumped up on the jeep and is sitting on the rear seat waging her tail, excited by all the activity. Next I continued with the tractor adding more washes and building the engine that was then fitted in place. Pic shows the dry fitting of the engine cover. OC.

Hi mate, yep I have a bit more weathering to do to it yet - but not too much my dad used to tell me "if its still - paint it - if it moves still paint it". OC.
-
That is looking really smooth - you did really good with those intake joins. OC.
-
Looking forward to more update bro - loving what you have done so far. OC.
-
Thanks Ken, just a bit of weathering on the bonnet then some flat coat to dull it down. OC.
-
Looking good Mark, congrats on finishing it. OC.

Also next on the agenda is a Tractor - this is a multi section build starting from the bottom up with the one piece chasis, then the body - engine - engine cover - rad unit, after giving the parts a light tidy up, I first gave the chasis a few coats of Nato Black, then when dry I brushed in some dark wash and finished off with a flat alum dry brush - this was then sealed with a flat coat (all brush painted even the bodywork) Then it was the bodywork this was painted with a few coats the RAF Grey same as the jeep, so still two separate assemblies waiting to be pu together. OC.

Hi all, I.m back as I promised - remember I told you all about that under size wheel columb (suitable just for a child) well I took it out removed the wheel from the columb, then I drilled a fresh hole under the wheel, and after finding the correct size piece of dowel (after sanding it down) I then glued the two together, then I kept offering up the wheel combo to the jeep till I found the right size - then it was glued in place. I then went through my decal stash and found the correct roundal this was then placed and A few applications of micro sol are being put over it. So this is the status of the jeep as she stands now - with a much better size wheel/columb hight. OC.
