A very nice and tidy update Thanks Paul !
I really want to get something done in the next couple of weeks. I have a lot on the bench ... I've been struggling with a lot of tracks(JS-5,BMP-1,Panther A,T-54,T-44) and Putty Party with the Su-7's.

Well, just got a clear coat on the KV-1 turret and sanded the Putty on the Warsaw Pact Su-7BM version. That Su-7, I think I have glued all the fuselage details, still need to add the Pitot tubes and masking the canopy before a coat of Primer, I will have to check and double check the vague instructions.
No photos yet.
Also a question... I have a few Shelf Queens that I need to restart, should I make a Poll ?

If you are absolutely stuck, then a poll is a good way forward. But, remember that a poll can get you to do things differently as you might have planned

Small update ::
Panzer I, suspension & wheels are almost done. Tracks will be next.
Little GAZ 69M is taking shape, but still a lot to work on.
Takom ZSU-57-2, working on some Plastic bits...
KV-1, Dark Yellow coat.

A Poll with an IDF Conversion, a Falcon, Stryker, a SAM, a Bomber and a Tank would be tricky.

I'll have to finish a couple of builds first before heading into another build. Since these Shelf Queens are at very different stages of build... let's see how it goes

Lovely update John . That gun mount is looking very interesting and I bet there is still a load to be added, very nice shade of Dunkelgelb too

Small update this Friday,
Bronco GAZ 69M,
Panzer I,
ZSU-57-2,
KV-1,
KP Su-7BM Warsaw Pact version, here I didn't work on it, just checked that the wings also need some putty, on both wings. Also I need to check the PE bits on the lower fuselage, but I'm guessing this one might have a coat of Primer next month...
M50 Sherman,
Still a lot of work to be done, since this year I've only worked on this lot.
Stay tuned for more...

The gun mount is huge and has a lot of detail, still 3 more pages... I will use a metal gun barrel set from Aber and a 3D resin basket on it. It's very well detailed, but the the craziness of Bronco or Miniart.
I was about to get the Trumpeter kit, but this one was available and the Trumpeter was on back order, still I'm liking this kit .

I will leave the Dunkelgelb soft coat, with the washes and filters I hope it will look good with the Red Primer undercoat.
