Weekend Update

Just a quick update of my weekends progress. Image free due to problems with my uploading on my home broadband line, you will have to just put up with my ramblings.

I was away most of the weekend but in a burst last night I managed to finish the Zvevda 37mm Soviet Ki-61 AA Gun, and have 95 % finished the 122mm Howitzer. The crew for the Howitzer still needs touching up and based.

I also last night started the Italeri Mk IX Spitfire that Dimitri from http://thecompletegreekgeek.blogspot.com/ warned me about. To tell the truth its not as bad as I thought it might be, sure I will need to add some filler but I have to do that with most aircraft kits anyway.I have completed 90% of the build and tomorrow I will start the painting.

Not much progress tonight as the River is in flood and I had a steady stream of visitors stranded coming to visit.

Thats about it, for now. Model on.

  1. It is still a matter of debate whether it was up to an acceptable standard on the Spitfire Fran.

  3. I'm glad you managed to make more headway with the Spit than I did. I like the HobbyBoss stuff a lot (cheap as they come) and of course the lovely Airfix kits. I don't know what the heck is wrong with the new Italeri stuff. Some of it is really hit-and-miss...

  5. I believe you are right about the hobby boss aircraft Dimitri, I have not heard a bad thing about them.
