Hello Shawn,

Hope you have a good "green" thumb and have time to post a few build pic in your workbench window soon.. Also you had a very good holidays??

I have a Porter Cable compressor from my mobile bike shop days.... Any idea what fitting/adapter and or hose need to run a air brush?

As i kid it remember having a Testors's Atezk airbrush on canned air. I do not think i develop skill or talent with it. I hand brush everything expect

when i have one solid colour i get a rattle can of tamiya spray paint. My welcome thread has some photos of my recent (it just stated up again a few

months ago) builds and the paint and supplies i have collected so far. Some with the help of my friend Migrant. Very good mentor to have. He build in

competition winning category! As a young boy/teenage I would build Revell kits and use Testor paints. That all my small town of Peace River, Alberta

had! Migrant gave me a Airfix Spitfire and other kits and got a NASCAR car of kijiji free and I was hooked again....

Look forward to seeing some gardening and model pictures....

Better get ready for cooking class. The Alex food center does a International cooking where we cook and share our family recipes.

I hope to do the zero's decals today. I bought some white and light blue background paper and batteries for my camera. I will try to take some good photo to

post....

Question: I have a Porter Cable compressor any ideas what fittings/hose i need to run a dual action air brush?

Nice one Michael. You are in the groove.

I would do the dull coat prior to removing the masking on the glass. Less risk in fogging.

Thanks Jeff, I took my time and bought 24 alligator clips for detail painting/assembly.

I also got my camera out and bought some paper for the pictures. I just need a photo booth and lights.

I could do a single thread in aviation if I wanted to? For the finished model?

Good idea about the Aviation Thread. One or two of the finished model.

I started with building the wheels and attaching to the die cast hull:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Build the driver sight and exhaust:

Image

Image

I did not add the tracks or glue the panels that close off the screw access. I plan to spray paint the tank body sand and maybe the Mark 2

nato black camo then paint the tires black and add the tracks then reattach the body to the hull and add the side skirting (pre-painted) then the

decals.

Image

Image

I build the extra fuel tank, gunner turret and storage bins:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I build the main turret with Mark 2 gun mount:

Image

I have left the small parts that are to be painted another colour than the camo colour. Like the string "tow cable" and the shovel and tracks.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I am going to let every set and then check tomorrow the tank is ready to spray Tamiya Sand and wheather I am going to "silly putty or blue tac" mask

for the Mark 2 Nato black camo or leave it just Sand camo and decal
