Sorry about the decals, John. i remember about the tools on the M-50 kit. I think Dragon combined so many different Sherman sprues in their M-50 kit, I wondered if those tools weren't supposed to be for that particular hull. Yup , I think that's what happened Ian. I'll fix it those issues on the M50.
But the decals it's a too bad... anyway so far it was a nice little kit, but with too much detail everywhere, I mean they could have simplify the process doing one piece of plastic instead of 7 or 8 parts for something that will be impossible to see for 99.99% of the builds.... I never seen a GAZ 69(M) kit with a cut away or a completely dismantled / destroyed / exploded ...

I started this thread when I got back at the bench after being almost 3 years away from glueing or painting anything... It was hard sometimes but most of the time it was fun, I got my Mojo back.
I hope I helped others and I helped myself too.
Started this in May 2022, managed to finish these
Tamyia Bradley M2A2 Tamyia M51 IDF Tristar Panzer 38(t) Ausf. E/F HobbyBoss Mig-17PF Tamyia Wespe Tamyia Panzer III N Trumpeter M1127 Stryker Academy M1151 & LiveResin Trumpeter Grasshopper Trumpeter E-75 Dragon Panzer 38(t) Ausf. S Trumpeter AT-P Eduard Mig-15 Trumpeter BRDM-1 Academy Merkava II D Trumpeter BTR-70 early Dragon Panther II Meng M3A3 Academy Merkava IV Academy / Legend Magach 7A Airfix PR XIX Spitfire
But it wasn't all easy along the way, a few kits ended up in the Gloming Black Hole of Plastic (Spare Box), one MRAP from Panda, two A-Model kits, one Modelsvit kit too, but despite building that small list, I still have a lot of kits on the bench at various stages waiting to be finished :
17cm Grille Tiger M50 Sherman BMP-1P Panzer 38t Ausf.B M1114
M1025 & Black Dog conversion Lancia Delta Integrale Lancia Stratos T-54 A T-54 B T-44 ZSU-57-2 Panzer IV Ausf.A Panzer I A GAZ 69M JS-5 Tracked SCUD-B Panther A Bergepanther Ausf.A ASU-57
Mig-15 Mig-19 S Su-7 BM Czech Su-7 BM Warsaw Pact Su-7 BML Su-7 BKL Tempest II
I still a few Shelf Queens and a New Group Build entry.... so it's going to be a busy year in 2024. Happy New Year everyone stay tuned for more Plastic, Glue, Paint, Putty.. but next year.

Pz and Gepard gun look good fella Thanks Boots !!
These ones so far are quite smooth builds. Panzer I needs it's AM tracks, painting the tools and some light weathering.
The Gepard still needs a lot of work, on the interior, the fenders, tracks, etc... it will take a little longer to get it done.

This has been a thrill to watch! And if you started this in May; well, you've been far more productive than I! All of it has been masterful work too John! Believe me, you have helped me a lot; I may not have posted here much but your perseverance, persistence and overall productivity have been a major booster for me!

I'm glad and happy to be able to help others here !!
Thank you for the kind words Duke !
As you know sometimes, doing these multiple builds sometimes one or two builds give you a few headaches but as you put it , we have to be persistent
I will keep busy with that list for 2024, still some Shelf Queens, Group Builds and a few other Build Logs to add...
Thanks again for the kind words and stay tuned !
