Sunday Update ::
Here we go...
Lancia Stratos, working on front suspension parts ( build & paint )
Bradley M3A3, still need to finish the last 2 Rubber Tires
Panzer 38(t) Ausf.S , Gearbox, transmission is in. Seats and Engine will be next.
T-44, These wheels are done.
Still need to finish these...
Wespe, Equipment painting, need to paint, radio, weapons, washes & filters and some more weathering inside the fighting compartment
Panther II , equipment
Primer on turret,
 Mig-17, wheel bay doors are in, pitot tubes fixed, retouch some paint after the photos. This one is done. The Resin Cockpit Debacle just took my energy and mojo out of this Build. Live and Learn...
I might get one later on, and just add a Quinta Studios Cockpit, and the build would be much better.
Cougar 4x4, worked on more details,
BMP-1P, Some Primer
M1151, Working on the Remote Weapons System
 
and well, from the S.P Artillery Mayhem Build, since the Wespe is almost ready, this is the next one

Despite the issues with the MiG, you have made a grand job of it in my honest opinion  |

Lovely colour on the Panther II turret and the BMP, John . The Stryker suspension units look good too, I imagine they are a tad tricky though. |

Well the Stryker is not that complicated ( so far ) those two very thin parts are one single plastic part , a little tricky to remove and clean up but the assembly is ok. I'm really happy with the progress of most of the builds, some are a little behind, but that's normal due to the huge number of simultaneous builds.

Grand work all round, certainly must keep the old grey matter ticking along nicely with all those builds on the go! You're right... Before my 2yr Plastic Pause, I used to build maybe 3 or 4 kits , now I simply tripled that ... I've made a simple list with what I'm doing and I try to work a little maybe 3 or 4 times a week , some are a little behind but I'm very happy building all of these different kits !! |

It looks a lot like their Early StuG, a perfect kit. No problems at all from start to finish.
So far, from this lot, the Cougar is the worst, parts that don't exist, terrible fit, terrible plastic...
The Miniart kit is good, the detail is almost perfect but after spending 30 mins on it you are tired of looking for parts among 40 or 50 sprues.
Anyway, more updates during the weekend .

The Mig looks great despite the issues.
Great progress on the others but really amazed me was the comment about F1, MotoGp and football but you still got to the bench.
I really have to look at my life balance and choices!
