Nice. You are a dab hand at paint slapping

Nigel

Certainly looks like a Lightning to me. Nicely finished and ditto what Clash said

Excellent job Ken; not my scale but they do look like nice little kits and I'm with you all the way on the lumps and bumps issue with kits. Life is too short sometimes

Thank you ShaunW,much appreciated.

Thank you gentlemen for your kind words.

Having done a 1/100 Lightning,here are three 1/100 scale tanks.

Some nice dry brushing on those tanks Celt. I know the Brumbar, but what are the other two?

Nigel

Nice Lightning just the wrong scale

Thanks Clash,the other two are a KV-1 and a T-26 flame thrower,both Russian.

Thank you Ratch,most people find fault with these Tamiya 1/100 kits but I kinda like them.

Those models look fine to me Celt, no matter what the scale. As for the lumps, bumps and other bits.... what are we making models for. I am like you and have a wife in poor health so I make models as a form of distraction from stress and problems. If other people do not like what I do I care not: I assume that you are the same. Keep slapping on the paint with a hairy stick as you are doing a very good job!

Hi Lone Modeller,thanks much appreciated.



This was the pic I was supposed to post,chubby fingers strikes again.

This model has been lurking for awhile now but I finished it at last.Its an old Smer kit stuck on a stand even though it has it's undercarriage down.The stand makes it easier to sit on my narrow shelf.





More victims of plastic butchery.

Thank you to all who posted my stands,I have used a few already.My plastic butchery is on stop for awhile now as my wife has some doctors and hospital visits to take of.Hopefully be back looking for more plastic to butcher.
Regards
Ken.

Love the Lightning and Spitfire Ken; very nice work on both.
I hope all goes well with your wife's care and that you are soon able to make time to get back to your bench

I see no butchery of kits here, Ken, only some excellent builds. Hope all goes well for your wife.

Really nice work. Hope your wifes treatment goes well.
