Swords to Plowshares GB / Aer Ab-11 'L-BUCD'
« Last post by robunos on Today at 02:50:39 AM »Okay . . .So, I know that this Gb is already half way through, but as I was stash diving to look for something to build, I came across this,
It fits the theme, as it is a civilian version of a military aeroplane, it's a Whiff, as it will be a One Wing Biplane, and being straightforward, I should get it built in the six weeks remaining in this GB . . .
cheers,Robin.

« Last post by Jeffry Fontaine on Yesterday at 02:03:04 PM »The left over cargo truck wall from the mystery kit has taken on a new purpose. I added some Evergreen plastic strips along the top edge as a toe strip and some slightly larger Evergreen plastic strips on the bottom as reinforcements. While it will not win any contest alone, it might work well in the background of a larger project. It was a fun diversion over the span of the weekend in between working on other projects. Attached images showing top and bottom details.

I know that the paint job of my build looks a little rough in this image, but I wanted to show that I have been able to make a little progress this last week

How exactly is this different from these threads?
Uninhabited and Unafraid, (UCAV, UAV, and Drone Aircraft)
Uninhabited and Unafraid, (UGVs and UGCVs)
I have no idea. Ask the one who started it.

« Last post by Jeffry Fontaine on Yesterday at 07:01:11 AM »Like the concept.
the best thing about the old Tamiya Pak 40 figures is the arms with rolled up sleeves. Very hand from time to time
I suspect that much of the early Tamiya 1/35th scale product line was intended for large scale wargaming and not exclusively for the static scale modeler.
I was never a big fan of those hard rubber tyre and star-shaped pressed steel wheels. So finding an alternative wheel set was paramount in making this interesting for me.
Also, I have to say that the most recent MiniArt 7,5cm PaK.40 ammunition sets are a major step above the AFV Club set and definitely makes the Tamiya shells candidates for the recycling bin.
