@roybent.bsky.social - I finally pulled the trigger - should be here in a day or 2 (I wanted this color), hoping it is same as ones I tried out. Had my heart set on the BB King Lucille model with the Varitone and buckers but the A5 P-90's just sing like nothing l have, pretty stoked here!

Settling in for a Friday's Eve of figure building, cleanup & painting a tank crew + couple infantry aka me goofing up & googly eye'ing 1:35 figures 😂 After 50 years of model building I still have a long ways to go on figures - wish me luck

Hope everyone is well #DDAY80GB looking great so far I still have items to finish on my bench & sorta locked myself out of bluesky for a bit by goofing up my PW Juggling recovery & trying to keep income by doing some work out of my home bike shop. Weather is great and the jobs have been rolling in

Bit more done on The M4 Sherman. Only handful of parts left to add and deal with, few seams that need to not be seen then time to start prepping those pesky figures. The last step is the stowage and I always enjoy that part.

#DDAY80GB All these builds are looking the work of pros here ! Excellent weathering etc. I am plugging along slowly with way too many interruptions but looks like next week or so is clear to get on the bench. Few parts with paint and some decals on them w/bit o rust just set together here for a pic

I completely forgot I had one above me on a bookshelf behind other stuff lol. Version with launcher - Was doing buddy build with pal and he gave up on his - Appears I didn't finish the fine detail like the dash gauges, pin washes etc.

Right on! I did find PE & alt decals I just put away other night for this Mosquito that was packed away in box I hadn't checked.& forgot about from packing to move. Looks like 2 schemes are invasion stripes and someone else mentioned a Mosquito and I hadn't thought of it as a D-day aircraft
