Stikpusher Posted August 11 Author Report Posted August 11 Well, they got me again. So. Cal. AMPS is doing another online GB contest. This time the theme is vehicles, wheeled or tracked, that have some form of rocket or missile weaponry, either as a primary or secondary weapon. I selected this Dragon M270 MLRS kit that I’ve had for ages in my stash, figuring this would be a good reason as any to finally build it Over the past few days I’ve built the suspension and started on the front plate of the cab This will be a secondary project until I wrap up a couple more, so updates will be intermittent for the near term…

Stikpusher Posted Sunday at 02:52 AM Author Report Posted Sunday at 02:52 AM So my latest batch of progress photos… During the week I applied Tamiya Liquid Panel Liner then cleaned it up. Afterwards I then airbrushed on a flat clear coat A couple of days ago I replaced the kit gun barrels with some Albion brass tubing of an appropriate diameter and cut to the proper lengths, and then glued them in place. Today I painted the gun barrels with Metalizer Steel I also today finished painting the exhaust stacks and turbocharger exhaust shroud, among other small details That’s all for today… finish line is approaching rapidly!!! 1
Stikpusher Posted Sunday at 03:16 AM Author Report Posted Sunday at 03:16 AM In addition to my current P-47 project, I’ve also been plugging away at this old project, the old Tamiya German Motorcycles kit, along with the one that came with the Flak 36 kit that I built many years ago and never finished. So as paint or glue was drying here and there, I have made some progress on these bad boys. Recently I finally finished basic paint and decals Today I did some heavy duty weathering. I was not quite intending on such a heavily weathered look, but in the end I decided to run with it… I still need to do a bit more painting and weathering on the riders to match the bikes dusty finish, and then finish painting then add their rifles 😉 1
