Ok small pun but now back on track. Seems at the moment I can’t get my head around doing any aircraft so on to another tank, more accurately a flak tank.

This is the Planet resin kit but I have only kept the turret portion. For the rest I am using a Dragon plastic kit which is much more detailed than the resin one and much easier to assemble being plastic.

Cutting out the resin pieces involved my Dremel and lots of dust which was carefully disposed of.

Anyway below is progress so far.

It’s been 2 months since the last post and whilst I have been modelling nothing really useful has happened. Whilst a number of kits have graced the work bench none have been completed including a rail wagon, rail tanker and a JCB as well as a V1 2 engine from Brengun.These and others are now all safely back in the cupboard.Seems funny after last year with 6 KV2’s finished to follow it with one KV2 diorama but the interest has waned for the moment.This will be temporary so another update will follow sometime.

Below are some shots from Expo back in June

BTW Hylands bookshop is no more , heaven knows I used to spend too much there but in the last few years in the new black hole premises very little, still got over 50 of their books to read one day.

Hobbyco who used to be very expensive are now as good as BNA for many things and I don’t pay postage. They have recently renovated but whilst the area for tanks and plane kits are the same the wider aisles mean less to look at. Trains have been cut a little to accommodate an aisle of jigsaws which are the new hobby of appeal.
