Thank you John  . The MG34 is the kit part, the position of it and the MP42 were changed. The instructions show them in the wrong places compared to the real vehicle  |

Hi fellas !! Another update, I have to admit after this one I'm a little tired, here we go,
HobbyBoss Mig-17, I added the pitot tubes and 23mm cannons, as everything with this little kit, it could have been a nice one but the extras have ruined it a little, after the whole Resin Cockpit debacle ... if you drill the pitot holes with the diameter required on the instructions (1.1mm) you will ruin the whole wing..
even with 0,8mm it's nasty, I will let it cure for a day or two and then fix with some putty. I will also get some primer and paint on the wheels soon.
 
Meng's M3A3, I did some more track section but mostly painted the rubber black tire on one side, now I can tackle all the wheels much faster. Hopefully getting the wheels & tracks on the hull, and putting the massive armor skirts in place. Then detail painting before starting the turret.
Miniart T-44,
Another section that's full of great detailing, started working on the fenders,
 
   
I wanted to start the last PE mesh holder... but I broke it already while cleaning up.. gave to coats of Tamyia Extra Thin... but it's still very fragile, and I still have to clean up the inside sprue.. 
So I painted the wheels , and will get to the Rubber Black part later on.

Looking fine, John, and love those sleek lines on the MIG-17. Always thought the -15s and -17s looked like total hot rods! Nice work on the T-44, as well.

I like the kit from HobbyBoss but I don't recommend the Resin Cockpit, despite the detail, it will make joining the 4 part fuselage a problem. Also the metal cannons look good but the pitot tubes are too wide for the wing recess. You are right these little buggers look like Hot Rods with wings ! |

Update ::
Some work on the Wespe, more wheels, and got some primer on the rear of the hull to get that PE ready for paint.
Yup, that small aircraft from Special Hobby just joined the party...
    
Pz38t E /F, the tracks got one coat of Black
Clear parts added to the BMP-1 and one or two details missing from the hull, I still have some parts to add and also a few details on the turret.
Bradley's wheels
T-44, more details added, front of the tank and fenders
  
And finally, the mighty Stratos

A Special Hobby project in the mix! I see no locater pins so definitely Special Hobby! The PE looks excellent on the BMP and nice detail on the T-44. That Lancia is a great looking car! Can't wait to see that built up.
