Please reserve this space for a rare second Blitzbau.

At least for me.

Your getting warm.

It is "smaller" than a breadbox.

I love Tiger Meet stuff also.

Ah, it's that sort of a Tiger. I initially thought of large German tanks. Excellent 8-)

Still looking for an early blast off of Saturday.

A little something to commemorate the winter season as we now have 140 inches of snow on the ground and it is only February.

I present the "Aleutian Tiger"

Impressive box art and here is the innards.

Decals for three subjects.

Profiles from the instruction sheet.

So having had some luck with Academy kits during the Blitz I will find out if three times is a charm.

Now for music selections....................

It is -16F outside and so it looks like a space heater may be used in conjunction with my morning start. The Siberian Express is marching strongly across our region.

Good luck with your build, I will be at the Yeovilton Model Show but will try to look in if I get a signal on my phone.

Coming up on the first hour and everything is going well. Time to start painting the interior and getting things buttoned up.

State of play so far and time for a strong cuppa.

Excellent - off to a good start. 140 inches of snow??? -16F (sorry, I'm metric on temperatures but that sounds mighty cold) - that's what I call a winter. Good job we haven't got that here, the country would grind to a halt and we'd all starve to death :roll:
