Guys, I know we still have 2 weeks to go, but if you need an extension just let me know !!

John, I may need an extension depending on when my paint arrives in the mail;
otherwise, all assembly is complete on my Leopard 1A4.

Made some good progress on my FM-2 Wildcat. Post shading and weathering are done so I should be ready to gloss coat and decal this week.


Best wishes, Ian

Great work Ian !

No problem Brent, just let me know how many weeks you need !!

Primed:

Hi all

My Panther to date. Should finish next weekend I hope!

I have been browsing the pictures posted here obtaining some inspiration from all. All great models included here. I need to add some progress shots of my jagdpanther to this fine collection. I added the base colour, camo and just started on the detailing. Some of the tracks fell off need to reattach them. Some camouflage hoops were attached.

Irvin----Very nice....very crisp build.

Trevor and Stephen----Nice set of Panthers!!

Continued work on the FM-2 and got the decals on tonight. Should wrap this up in a couple of days.


Regards, Ian

John,
I may need an extra week or two. I'm using the Model Master enamels and I've been advised that Forest Green FS4127 is close for the Leopard 1A4 solid green scheme. This is what I've ordered. However I was painting a French MS406 for another campaign and the #2106 French Khaki looks to be a close faded version of the color. I may go with that instead. I'll airbrush tonight and post the result. This is a braille scale tank after all and it is also the first tank kit in this scale that I've built since returning to the hobby.

'Luchs' progress update, just finished the lower hull.

I have painted the tracks black and the rubber on the road wheels, finished up the rear hull and will be shooting the base colour soon.

Cheers Rob.

Ok guys.

So far only one member asked me for an extension, maybe more of you will need.

NEW DEADLINE : 15th July , 2 weeks extra.

Happy Modelling !!!

Well my FM-2 Wildcat is done and posted up in the gallery. The kit has the following mods:

Vector Resin Cowling
Squadron Vacu-Form Canopy
Super Scale Decals

The plane depicted is from VC-93, USS Petrof Bay. This has been a fun campaign and shows a nice range of "CATS". Enjoyed it!!!!

Regards, Ian

Ian, that's a great build !!!
I like everything... colours, weathering, decals, perfect !

Congrats !!! I hope we can count with you for a BigCats Mk.III

Thanks John!!!!!!!! I got a stack full of Grumman products ready for BIGCATS III. Once again, enjoyed it!!!!


Best wishes, Ian

Very Nice Ian!

Cheers Rob.

More progress. Two coats of camouflage were hand painted onto the Panther. The diluted paints helped to eliminate brush marks. Tamiya acrylics were used, Red Brown and Olive Green. After the camouflage had dried a coat of diluted Buff was sprayed over the Tank. The diluted Buff acted as a filter, softening the hard edges and brightness of the camouflage. These are the progress photos.

FirstSergeant

Thanks Rob!
