I'm just thinking that with all the stuff you've got going,you've only lost two pieces. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Zil with Rocket Launchers, started working on the cabin sub-assemblies

Don't worry,John. I'm sure you'll get at least one done. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Quality update by the way.

I think I will get something done. I'm really enjoying building these kits so far, the Strykers were a pleasure to work on.

I'm liking all of those, specially the Tiran ![](http://www.allsmileys.com/files/smiley-central-emotions/5186.gif) I'm planing a Tiran build myself ![(:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/ninja.png) , but I need to get the Zero of the bench before I start anything else ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

With F1 and the Olympics I still managed to work a little on Trumpeter M1131 and Meng Panther Ausf.A,
The Stryker M1131 got a 1st coat of NATO Green yesterday, and after these photos I gave a 2nd coat.
![](https://i.ibb.co/6WyysKF/6756.jpg)
on Meng's Panther Ausf.A, I touched up some paint on the tools, I might leave some tools off, anyway still a few things that need paint, wood log, tool boxes,etc.. I also got a coat of paint on the metal side skirts and the spare wheels.
![](https://i.ibb.co/pJdZdd6/6758.jpg)
I will try to dedicate more bench time for this Panther A ... this one was one of the first ones from the 2022-2023 Build Thread, so it's quite satisfying to see it on the finish line.

The Tiran 4 is a little behind, a Miniart kit just won't have the pace of a Tamyia kit ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . The Trumpeter is quite a nice kit, the Tamyia cut some corners, the fenders are on the same piece as the top hull, they could easily have a PE mesh for the engine cover grille but no, it's still that mesh cloth that you need to cut in scale...anyway .
You're doing a Zero ? Tamyia , Eduard ?

Fantastic progress,John. The tools look exceptionally nice. Thanks Jeff !!!
and here's today's work :
Miniart T-54 A :: I worked on a few details on the side and rear panels. But here it was my fault, there were a lot of small holes to be made before closing up the hull. I'll manage... ![](https://i.ibb.co/hDZrh7n/6760.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/JjBj3LC/6761.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/K7fm7Sv/6762.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/cxyS61t/6763.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/zfNm5B5/6764.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/FgnWsnS/6765.jpg)
Watch it with C29, C14 and Ca3 , those plastic parts are so thin... easy to brake while cleaning or removing from the sprue.
![](https://i.ibb.co/Qvs9KXP/6767.jpg)
Takom T-54 B , After a few days the dirt looks quite good. I started adding the wheels and working on some tracks.
![](https://i.ibb.co/ZY8WktT/6769.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/vwZrzVF/6770.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/DWJwzSJ/6771.jpg)
Meng Panther Ausf.A , adding some of the tool. Painting the wood log
![](https://i.ibb.co/bJZdQ5d/6773.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/jbTTrRm/6774.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/tQ9QZLT/6775.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/M8QBYKh/6776.jpg)
Miniart Tiran 4 , adding details on the side walls.
Trumpeter M1131 , here's the 2nd coat of NATO Green, working on the jerrycans,wheels, and other details
![](https://i.ibb.co/tLXcHGJ/6779.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/wrSpXW8/6780.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/2Nr5Zvb/6781.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/XsCvgS3/6782.jpg)
Trumpeter Rocket Launcher on Old Truck , working on some details of the launcher base,
![](https://i.ibb.co/C7yWDNp/6784.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/txZ0Xs2/6785.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/qD6fGfK/6786.jpg)
Dornier , working on the interior bits
![](https://i.ibb.co/HVF8dyQ/6788.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/fH7V0Yz/6789.jpg)
and... that's it for today !!!!!
