Let's get things rolling

Here's my entry - first released in 1976, a true classic:


As mentioned in the main thread, I already built one of these in 2008...ah, the memories


Details aren't that bad:


Well, mostly...


Here's where I am right now:


I'm not doing a speed build, although I probably should. I'll be adding Zimmerit, which will conventiently take care of that hole in the side...

Philipp

Wait! Waitwaitwait! - Didn't I build one of those too ? Without Zimmerit and with a really pathetic Revell solid colour hand painted camo?
If I did I threw it away years ago now... a shame since it would have been cool to compare !


Best regards

Yes you did

Regrettably/thankfully I don't seem to have any photos left of it....

Philipp

Are you certain?

Completely certain?

Because.... =>


"Shame!" *dingding* "Shame!" *dingding* "Shame!" *dingding* ...

Actually it's less horrible than I would have remembered... still...


Best regards

I'm tempted to make a replica of that

The party has started

I will have to get going soon, though it is No. 1 son's birthday today, so I am delivering a chocolate cake and presents, so it will be later tonight.

Nice start Philipp, come on Raoul, get that IV D out of the box

But I'm only 9 years younger than the kit

Thanks Rob!

Creeping ahead at glacial speed compared to everyone else:



Mostly to blame is a somewhat weird cold I've had since Thursday, but also Revell putty which takes a whole day to dry before it can be safely sanded....Oh, and the Zimmerit it will need. I really should have picked the Crusader

Looking good Philipp. State of the art modelling, 70's style
