Having now finished Das Werk’s 1/35 Panther, I can now focus on painting and weathering.
Why do simple jobs always create the most problems, after all, how hard can it be to paint a couple of exhausts?

Why do I alway forget how to paint military vehicle models, when building aircraft, is simply second-nature?!

My Anson is finally finished. So how was this latest project and what do I think of the kit and the completed model now that it’s in my display case?
Away from wistful reminiscences, today has seen me focus on the weathering of the Anson ready I hope, to be finished over the next couple of days.
Sometimes there is no getting around the need to experiment before applying layers of paint to your pride and joy. Today, saw just such a period of trial and thankfully, no error…
