Not much done today, but still a few things hit the bench... here we go :
AFV Club IDF M113 A1 ,
as you can see some clean up is needed...
Still a few things to work on the front of the M113,
Working on the top too,
And using some dry mud pigments on both sides before adding the wheels & tracks. ( I also did the other wheels but forgot to take photos, I need to touch up the Black tires )
Takom Bergepanther Ausf.A :: Working on more wheels, still a couple of sessions to finish them.
And I decided to start a new project today, IDF Magach 3 from Six Day War.. from Dragon.
That was it for today, all comments are welcomed.

That Magach looks like a nice kit John I hope so, so far no issues. Tomorrow I'll have some more time, maybe some more IDF and the Tempest will be on the bench, we'll see.

The little flash on the 113 headlights will clean up easily J. The Magach 3, if it's anything like the Magach 2 I built, you'll enjoy it. The only thing that annoyed e was the DS Mantlet cover, I binned mine and made my own from tissue, white strips and brass rod. You can see it here at the bottom of page 1 mho.freeforums.net/thread/3885/idf-magach-2

Today's work,
Dragon IDF Magach 3,
Some small gaps here,
used some putty, a little clean up and that's solved.
Takom Bergepanther Ausf.A , Sub assemblies...
I also started the engine,
Took some time to check T-54 A 's wheels, they have the same pin as the T-44 BUT it's placed on the outside, not in between the road wheels, so no need to sand it like I had to on the T-44's... ( I hope... )
After a 3rd coat, I placed the windshield, still a few details to add on the rear bumper and some clear parts, decals and some light weathering. I thinl this one will be finished this month !!
Bronco M1114, working on the seats.
That was it for today !!!

Certainly a great days work John Thanks Boots !!
The Bergepanther took most of my time, parts were very small and delicate to handle.
Also there are no color instructions for the engine,winch or any other interior part...

Ever onward, John. Thanks Jeff !!
This afternoon was spent at the bench... so here we go :
Tristar Panzer 38(t) Ausf.B 1:35th :: A lot of details to work on this one, starting with the front section. Clear parts and paint will be next.
Bronco M1114 1:35th :: Worked on the seats and the base coat for the interior.
Miniart T-44M 1:35th :: Side hull details.
HobbyBoss Panzer IV Ausf.B :: Painting the rubber tires.
Bronco GAZ 69M 1:35th :: Working on the last details, rear bumper, spare wheel and decals, well you can see the Bronco decals after 10 secs in water, they break up in tiny pieces... No decals on this one.
AFV Club IDF M113A1 1:35th :: More details, added the MG mount. Cleaning up the front plate.
AFV Club LVTH 6A1 1:35th :: Painting rubber tires.. this will take many sessions... painting the lower hull too.
Dragon Magach 3 1:35th :: details on the rear section.
Takom Bergepanther Ausf.A 1:35th :: Painting more rubber tires, still another session to get them finished.
Special Hobby Tempest II 1:32nd :: Cleaning up the wing sections, and gave another wash on the wheel well base.
Eduard Mig-19 1:48th :: Working on the 2nd Wing.
Meng Panther Ausf.A 1:35th :: Remember this one ? it's been awhile since I've worked on it.
Today I used some filter on the wheels and rear section, and gave a clear coat on the upper hull & turret. I think I have one section of the tracks almost finished, but still some work to be done on this one. With the Bergepanther and this Ausf.A, I finally after many years I'm about to finish my Panther Collection.
Revell F-89 D/J 1:72nd :: 1st coat of paint...
HobbyBoss ASU-57 1:35th :: Painting the wheels.
Here are the Tiran's , I was almost going to start them, at least the Miniart one, I'm almost sure I won't do the SKIF but I noticed the SKIF is an early model with the D10-T 100mm gun from the T-54 , the late one from Miniart has the T-55 gun. But I decided to wait a few days, I still have a lot of things to work on...
Dragon Panzer IV Ausf.A 1:35th :: Did some chipping and dusting on the turret. The chipping is hardly visible because the AK Panzer Grey color is much darker than Tamyia's . You'll see it easily when they are finished side by side, the Ausf.A and Ausf.B.
Last one for today, Italeri's Gepard 1:35th :: Some filter on the wheels and lower hull. Gun is finished. Still a few things to do before finishing this one.
That's it for today !!! All comments are welcomed.

Hi everyone, another update, today's work ::
Bronco Gaz 69 M :: Added some details on the rear bumper.
Next here, Add the spare tire and paint the clear Red parts.
This Shelf Queen is almost done.
Dragon IDF Magach 3 :: Added some detail on the top hull, and worked on the suspension on one side.
Takom Bergepanther Ausf.A :: I noticed on the side of the box some interior painting pic , no schematics or other angle.
So I prepared a few of the Sub-assemblies even if they aren't finished because they need to be attached or fixed to another part, and I won't be able to reach some parts after fixing them.
And I will be able to weather and detail painting some parts.
Revell F-89 D/J :: Some paint, first coat.
Bronco M1114 :: Another coat of NATO green.
HobbyBoss Panzer IV Ausf.B :: worked on the turret details and wheels too.
Trisar Marder III Ausf. H :: yup... I started another one.
That's it for today fellas !!
