Thanks Bert !! Really enjoying these Trumpeter Stryker... I might start a new one as soon as the M1131 and M1130 are finished.
Thanks Paul !! These Soviet era and post Russian are most of them Green.. I might go for some camo schemes soon on other kits.
Thanks Tommy !!
Thanks Steve !!
Thanks Boots !!
Well today I only worked on one kit, the A-Model Dornier Do-26V-2 , wing detail.
A-Model sprues are not numbered, so you always have to search the schematics and be lucky to find the correct part.
That's it for today.

I didn't have much time today but still managed to work on the Dornier and the SA-8 Gecko,
Wing details for the A-Model kit.
Painting details on the Radar Dome Structure, I still need to add the mirrors and used the plastic piece to bend the light guards, nice touch from Trumpeter !

Here's today work , I started after lunch and finished around 18:00 ... I wasn't lazy today so grab a seat...
I started with a Cold War Tank from Miniart , the T-54 A , working on one Fender, I finished step 42 and 43,
Step 44 will be next.
Next one was Meng's Panther Ausf.A , painted some tools, Mg42, filters on the side skirts
After that, LVTH 6A1, finishing the suspension and wheels, all ready for the tracks
A small mistake here, if you plan on adding the tracks at Step 5...
If you add the side hull on Step 4... it's impossible... since the hull covers most of the wheels... So plan your steps carefully
After I got the Stryker M1131 on the bench, added the tools and started painting the rear view mirrors, I also got some Primer on the .50 Cal shield
Then it was time for the Shelf Queen #2 , SA-8 Gecko, Got some primer on the PE light guards and added the Rear view mirrors on. Since I got a missing interior I will paint the clear parts with Clear Green and maybe smoke. Also the rear lights with Clear Red.
Back to a Miniart kit, this time Tiran 4, started the turret.
Then Shelf Queen #1, AFV Club M1130 , it was time for Primer...
A-Model Dornier,
I wanted to finish the wings, but I only got one,
As you can see there's a small issue...
I need to trim those parts until the wing fits..
Also Step 10, when you add them to the wing, the 2 back fins won't fit
they don't fit... so I decided to remove them on this wing. I will try trim them on the other wing... maybe... perhaps remove them.
I'm pretty sure ( being an A-Model kit) I will require some putty and a lot of sanding very,very soon...
After Miniart and A-Model I needed something easy so I went back to Trumpeter, the Grad-21,
Primer,
Paint,
Back to some neglected kits from IDF , painting some tools on the M50 Sherman
Adding the last track on the M113A1 , the tracks are too loose I think, added the side skirt and rear mud guards.
Anyway.... that's it for today fellas !!!
EDIT :: After checking some photos, maybe not too loose after all,
