More wholesome goodlyness,John.I really like the Dorny.😎 Thanks Jeff !! I really like the looks of it... but being an A-Model kit, there will be struggles and bumps along the way for sure,
Plastic is quite crude but after a 2nd coat of paint I hope it will be ok. I painted the interior color a light (blue-ish ) grey, instruments and sticks will be matt black and seats dark brown.

I still have some work to be done with the cabin and the Rocket Pipes but most of the Sub-Assemblies are done. I'm glad Trumpeter provided some masks for the clear parts of the cabin.
This is a very complete kit so far, I might get the more modern BM-21 Grad's.

Today's work,
M1131, painted external details, clear orange,red, smoke grenade launchers, just need to let it dry to add the clear parts. Decals are next.
Dirt & wheels are also in the menu.
Rocket Puppy, 1st coat of Matt Black.
but most of my time was devoted to the Shelf Queen, the SA-8 Gecko. Added a lot of details on the lower & upper hull. Also worked on Sub-Assemblies
I think here, that Trumpeter made a mistake ( I noticed too late ) I think they messed up D50 and D52, since D50 parts don't touch A4, they are a little too short.
Back to the Rocket Puppy... gave a 2nd coat of Matt Black.
That's it for today.

A lot of builds are waiting but I don't have time to work on all of them. I'm pushing 3 or 4 that I want to finish this month but I will manage to get some aircraft on the bench soon. The Tempest, the Su-7's and the 2 Migs have been neglected .

Thanks Paul !
I still don't know, I might weather those side skirts, damage a few, make it look like they had to use skirts from other tanks ... miss a one or two maybe. Since this tank will be missing some tools too, why not some side skirts ?

Used skirts from a different tank and missing one or two, are always an eye catcher

Used skirts from a different tank and missing one or two, are always an eye catcher I wanted that to be different. But I'm sure it's accurate, I bet those tanks after months on the field, on-and-off combat situations would be missing some skirts or equipment.
Anyway here's today's work ::
Meng Panther Ausf.A :: More work on the spare tracks and equipment.
Miniart Tiran 4 :: started building the lower hull sections.
Tamyia Tiran 5 :: Worked on the turret.
A-Model Do-26 V-2 :: Painted the seats and started cleaning up the lower part of the wings.
Trumpeter SA-8 Gecko :: Added the last plastic bits and PE on the top Hull, and decided to add the top & lower hull, also gave a Primer coat. I will add the clear parts and rear view mirrors after the painting stage.
Trumpeter M1131 , Started painting the tools and added some decals.
That's it for today.

John the idea of other vehicle skirts is certainly well documented, so know worries there . That wooden beam for the Bergepanther, is that real wood or the kit part? It looks darned good whatever it is
