Thanks everyone for the support !!!
Small update :
M1127 :: 2nd coat of Greens, and a Vallejo Dark Green Wash too. Drybrush will be next, and will have to work on the straps for holding everything in place.
Grasshopper :: Started painting the tools. Since this subject was only a prototype, had some trials but never went to production or combat, I will only apply filters and pin wash.
Tools & Wheels are now on the menu.
That's it for today

Small Update ::
M1127 Stowage is on. This time, Trumpeter has a lot of stowage and not many places to put them on.. I messed the ration boxes, paper is too thin to handle.     
Grasshopper :: Equipment is painted. Clear Coat will be next before applying some filters and light wash.
 
Panther II :: All the equipment is on, some light chipping is done too. All I need now is to put the tracks on this Big Cat.

I'm really happy with the progress on these Builds.
Stryker is missing the aerials, I need to do them out of stretched sprue and paint them. The Panther II just needs the tracks to be built and painted.
Forgot these too ...
Tristar Panzer 38(t) Ausf.B , I just needed to check all the sub-assemblies , I noticed I need to work on the seats, transmission shafts , gearbox and a few more things. Then Paint them all before closing the sides.
Or my other option, would be leave everything in bare plastic and PE to compare it with Dragon Ausf. S version, both bare without paint. Still unsure on which path to take...
T-44, Checking the turret, also nothing glued or painted , just wanted to dry fit everything, but I still have weeks of work ahead before closing up the turret.
T-54B , Worked on the Fenders, Plastic and PE parts.
EDIT : I got a server error, photos later I guess.

The 38 from Tristar is a well detailed kit |

The 38 from Tristar is a well detailed kit Yes, perhaps one of the most detailed kit I've worked with , maybe similar to Miniart but less complicated. It would help to have a color guide for the interior, not just the engine. It takes more time with these interior kits, after a small sub-assembly with so many tiny plastic and PE I'm tired and want change the subject and move to another kit....  |

The work with the washes on the Panther II is amazing, especially over the Dark Yellow. The Stryker looks great, as does the Grasshopper.

Thanks Paul !! It helps a little !
Thanks Ian !!
Here's another small update, Panda's Cougar 4x4 , still not liking the kit. A lot of mistakes in the instructions (G17 is wrong, it's G10), don't like the plastic, some parts are way too fragile.
EDIT :: Also almost every fitting joint is hard, either the hole is to small or the other parts is way too big, the fitting is always a problem...          |

Very small update :: Dragon Panzer 38(t) Ausf. S - I just wanted to check if the turret fitted well with the Hull, it's Perfect.
I just need to finish the engine and add the seats.
 
Also some news, I will try to start 4 Builds this month, One Wheeled, One Tracked and Two Aircraft. I already picked the Aircraft
The Wheeled and tracked... I still don't know a lot of options. IDF ( One Tank ), the Last Hummvee (M1114) or one MRAP, BTR's BMP's and restart the Panzer IV BuildLog.... Oh well so many choices...
