The hardest part were the decals on the B-25s but it was a lot of fun building it, I always admired the volunteers that signed up for that mission.

Well, crap. Looking at the pics, I realized I missed something. I'm going for a screen accurate Fury, and it was a M4A2E8, a diesel powered tank, but was portraying a M4A3E8 gasoline powered tank, with the engine noise replaced. All the 1/16 Shermans available, except for the Tamiya, are M4A3s. If you want a different model, you have to buy a conversion kit, or scratch it. I replaced the exhaust and the exhaust diffuser with the A2 versions, but most importantly, because it's the most visible difference between Sherman variants, completely forgot about the engine deck.
![]() I think maybe I thought the stowage would hide it, which it won't. ETA: Started another build thread for it, since it's been so long since I worked on it that my original fell into the archives years ago. |

Just wrapped up this Hasegawa F-86F in 1/48. It’s not perfect by any means but it’s the first aircraft model I’ve finished in several years. I decided to take a break from HO trains for a bit and do some aircraft modeling.
