Hi Guys:
I know we are winghy guys, but does somebody as modellers that we also are, build armor kits ?

I have to admit that I haven't built an aircraft in nearly 18 months - I have gone completely mad #:-) and started building and other things which stay on the ground. :-) :-)

I do all Tanks, cars, Trucks, Ships, Sci-fi and figures as well as aircraft of course.
On the bench at the moment is a ship, two aircraft and four tanks.

You name it - I build it So, yes I do build aircraft and armor.

I am mainly a armour modeller actually, but recently I have been drawn into the whole aircraft thing
I think it was because I got my airbrush working and now can (try) do some of the Luftwaffe schemes. I am still struggeling with all the RLM numbers.
Camouflage on the aircraft is RLM 74/75/76. What happened to overall dark yellow with green motteling :-)
Now I am getting a hold of them, but still need four view profiles to be sure to get the scheme right. hard egde or sprayed soft edge is not clear to me from a side profile
I will finish of a bunch of half done panzers and then make a small airfield of model planes.

Hi Carlos
I buy 1/48 scale vehicles, mostly with an aim to displaying alongside aircraft - but some just for their own sake... HobbyBoss's T-34 with a detailed interior was irresistible!
All the best

Yep, I've built a tank or two in my day. Always room for both aircraft and armor on my workbench. Each satisfies different elements of my modeling "Itch"!

Hi!
I alway says; If It comes in lots of small (plastic/Metal) parts, I´ll build It! :-)
Planes, Armour, Ships, Trains, Cars, Trucks, Space, Sci-Fi, Houses, Stations, Factories, Bridges.... I´ll build whatever that catches my Interests for the moment.
Aircrafts are my first and strongest interest, though.
Cheers!

I build just about anything. If i like it, i build it.
Just finished a Roman Warship, and I'm just starting a U/Boat as I am waiting for some P.E parts to turn up for an F-86D Sabre Dog.
Oh yes, I have got me one of those. How do they fit all those parts in the box .

Hi all:
I see there are a lot of winghy guys that also like to build armor. In my case I´m building only WW2 A/C since 2003, but before that I built a lot of German tanks and some great old Shermans.
I was thinking if it could be a good idea to start a thread here in Aeroscale so the modelers that build mostly A/C can show their armor models between A/C modelers.

Ditto with me.Have Revell-from-hell 1/32 bf-110 on the bench for at least a year. Major effort just to get it to go together and look decent. Not even trying to address the 60+ accuracy issues
But hey! It's fun when I win in the end! :-)
cheers!

I do almost exclusively 1/48 WW2 A/C. But I have a interest with 1/35 German half-tracks. They are a lot of fun when you need to "cleanse the pallate." Right now, those are the only armor kits that I build. With all the variations, they will sate my armor "hunger" between P-47's and 109's.

To be completely candid about the idea. I think it's nice, but that's what Armorama is for Aeroscale is about aircraft. Sorry to be a wet blanket, and I hate looking like I'm being Politically Correct. and sometimes
