Peter: Congrats on Your Citroen. I like the look of this car very much!

Jesper: Great work on this kit. Nicely done chipping!


Marek: The extra work on the SdKfz is really great! Wow!

I'm thinking of getting Hobbyboss's 1/48 and finishing it in the Congo cammouflage. Might look good.



Now that is something very different to consider. Love to see that done some day.

Thanks Oliver, I'd recommend one. It's fairly quick, simple and looks good. Be warned though, it is a tail sitter. I packed in as much as I could and she still tips back at the slightest move!
I like the Austrian markings I used on it. Very colourful and different. Besides from a couple of WW1 aircraft, I've not done anything else in their colours. Would be nice to do a Drakken to display with it some day. Not sure what they're currently using. Did they buy Typhoon or the Grippen?

Peter, yeah the Congo cammouflage with the off yellow squigles really cool. Certainly something different and colourful to display. I might have to practice fine spraying before I attempt it though.

Have ribbons been awarded?

Great stuff Jan. Nice little detailing, especially the slats. It does make the model a little different to all the others. I built this one when I was younger and loved it too. I always wanted to buy the large scale one Matchbox did too...

That hobby shop, was it Leonardo's at Akihabara, Tokyo?

I spent quite some cash there myself a few years ago



Hi Peter, yes it was in one of the Leonardo's sorry for the delayed reply. When i i'am in Tokio erea there are a a couple of shops i try to go to and this is one of them,.. but there are many shops, you can spend a costly vacation visiting hobby shops and hobby shows in Japan :-)

Thanks for great campaign

Peter:
Thank You for the ribbon and for leading this campaign.
It was great fun with fantastic builds. But, I wonder why a finish with more Matchbox kits in my stash now than before starting this campagin .

This is as far as I got. I have pretty much swore off joining campaigns. Will just settle with lurking and replying now and then.



Cheers

Thanks for Joining in any way. Two builds for a campaign is ambitious, even at this scale. I hope you finish them.

I know that campaign is over, but I'm still working on my 251. Otherwise, it would never be finished.
The tracks and decals (palm trees with swastika) are taken from Fujimi's hannomag. Jerry cans are from Bronco's GB7020 set.

Looking really good.
I wondered for a few minutes about the hard top. Wondering if it was a field mod to protect the crew.
Then it dawned on me. It's masked off!

I like the finish you've achieved.
