Sorry… The one is a 1/48th Revell and the other will be a 1/48th Otaki… Both will have a bit of Eduard PE and some Quick Start Resin on them, Still looking for the Decals so not sure what they will be till I can locate the ones I want.
Bish, By the way, Just got my latest issue of FSM, and Congrats on your mention and write up for the WW I GB!
And thanks. I just got mine today as well, nice to get in the mag after all these years. There are some amazing build there, thoe WW1 guys really have some skills.
Doug: Woohoo, another one from the crazy bunch over there in the 190 GB!!!
3 Corsairs already? Maybe i should build my 1/48 Corsair instead of the Hellcat? Nah, I’ll just build both [;)]
Bish: My issue didn’t arrive yet. I always get the good stuff much later than everyone else [:(] Congrats to your article making it into the new issue anyway. I’ll have a look at it as soon as it arrives [;)]
I am sure you will love the article when you see it SS. There are some stunning builds there, I am in real awe of those guys. Mine is rather tame compared to those, I am just glad I completed it.
I really want to do a corsair. I’ve not mastered weathering the paint to the level i want just yet. I’m finishing up a ME 262 that required some serious airbrushing. That was a fun build (Revel kit) and I’ve been working on it so long I’ve forgotten what mix of paints I used to get the colors I wanted. I also paint insignia with stencils - I’ll be doing the same for the PZ IV J I’m building for this GB. I really think they look better.
You’re in the new FSM Bish? Wow, Congratulations! I have yet to receive my new issue yet but, I’m certainly looking forward to getting it so i can send it to you for your autograph. It’s a well deserved honor Bish to showcase your amazing talents.
Zimmerite. It was an anti magnetic coating that the Germans applied to their tanks between about Sept 53 to Sept 44. Its that rough surface you can see on the dies front and back of Greg’s Tiger.
Greg, I didn’t realise Italeri did pre Zimmed kits, I thought that was only Dragon.
Well, you learn something new every day Greg. I normally prefer to do my own. But I do have two Dragon kits with the Zimm on. I will be doing one, a Panther, for the D-day GB, which is handy as it will save some time.
