For all of my fellow aircraft buddies, I broke down and built a THING, a Tank I believe . I'm not sure what it is, but it has tracks and a long barrelled gun sticking out of this shell like looking thingy on it's top. I know, I must have had a mental break down or something. LOL. Anyway, for all you guys who said tryit. I did. Not too bad, kind of enjoyed the break form A/C.

Yes? And where is the evidence?
For all we know you have scratchbuilt a tin can of beans with a drain pipe.

Or something.

Yep, did that to, something like a churchill or stuart. No need to worry about canopies or all those decals....Tracks and wheathering is what I get hung up on..with armor....

Wife just bought a new Digital Camera today. Once I get the skinny on how to work it , I'll post some pics of this wingless wonder, LOL

:-) Yes we all must visit the dark side at least once The more targets the better.

Envar, it is the Tamiya M1A1. Weathered it tonight and will decal it tommorow. Pics to follow after that. No tin can of beans or pipe LOL.

Okay,then it's a big sardine can on top of a bigger sardine can and a piece of 1/2 inch PVC pipe

This is outrageous, as an exclusive plane builder myself, I look down on ya. Marv. Okay now surrender your Academy F/A-18 to me!

Been to the darkside,many times.Prefer the ol' a/cs.

I still have that Tamiya M26 Pershing that I need to build. I am planning on saving it until someone makes an interior for it before I start building. :-)

(Starts hearing voices now....'You are now under our power... Stop masking those canopies and start hitting the dust instead... You will take part in Armor campaigns.... And thou shalt concentrate more on weathering and chiping than applying sludge washes.....")

Waking up from a dream..
