Proud Kraut Posted October 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted October 12, 2016 I really would like to know your next modeling project. Here's mine: First I bought the MB 101st InfDiv Sherman riders, then I looked out for an interesting British Sherman, finally I got my hands on the last BLACK DOG "Hessian Tape" camo kit available at my online modeling shop...

ArtyScout Posted October 12, 2016 Share #2 Posted October 12, 2016 Well I finished my M60A1 diorama and F-14A Tomcat. Right now I'm going back to Hue for another diorama. Then after that either a couple of M1A1 Abrams or fix up a Pzkpfw III ausf H with a T-34, I also have a T-74 Russian tank(You won't see those here). There is also an 8 inch self propelled howitzer in the future. I'm also looking into probably building the USS Missouri (WWII). Lets see how the worm turns for me.

tsweeney Posted October 13, 2016 Share #4 Posted October 13, 2016 I saw a diorama on you tube called Torpedo Run about a TBF dropping a torpedo It was done in 1/72 scale planes I want to make it in !/48 ( because I have trouble seeing 1/72 I also want to do battle damage because most of the TBF were shot down at the Battle of Midway I hope it turns out well Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backtheattack Posted October 14, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 14, 2016 Couldn`t wait to see any of the ideas. But first I want to see Proud Kraut`s Monster dio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltz41 Posted October 16, 2016 Share #7 Posted October 16, 2016 I've got 2 1/48th hasegawa P-51D's on the bench right now, and a Tamiya P-51C as well. One of the D's was going to be a full D-day stripe bird, but I tried using the box decals and they basically fell apart (old age). So that's in a holding pattern while I finish the other two. Next up though......the old monogram 1/48th B-29!! I have a spot for it when it's finished although I'm not 100% it will fit! That thing is going to be massive!

Sparty On Posted October 20, 2016 Share #8 Posted October 20, 2016 I've got a resin building ruin kit I'm gonna start in the next few days that I picked up at a nearby model show. I've never worked a resin before so we'll see how it goes. I'm think of putting a Willy's or Sherman with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted December 12, 2016 Just purchesd this set of built but not painted US tanks. Within the lot 3 IDF M50/M51 Super Sherman / Isherman tanks.

cutiger83 Posted February 14, 2017 Share #16 Posted February 14, 2017 Lars, I have seen some new model makers such as Squadron and Bronco. Have you ever built any models made by these companies? I was wondering how well the models are manufactured. Do you have a favorite brand to build? ..Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the kits I had built were from Dragon, Tamiya, Master Box, Academy, Italeri, AFV Club. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtyScout Posted February 15, 2017 Share #22 Posted February 15, 2017 WOW Tom! From the looks of things I see you're going for a major undertaking. I wish you all my hopes for a trouble free build and a great outcome. I have to admit, you really know how to honor our Marines. Good luck 'Teufel Hunden' Semper Fi.
