Like the build, it's looking great. I will have to start awarding trophies to new members of the Pantherman neat freak club !!!!

I might have to pick up that vehicle set.

Looking forward to the dio

After I am done with this, you'd be hard pressed to find me working in 1/72 again.....

It's just too small for us poor sighted old boys. 1/35 works for me as not to small to work on but small enough so as not to take up too much display space.

This project in 1/72 is definitely a "skill sharpener"

My apologies if this was mentioned and I missed it, but is the support vehicle set the Airfix set? They look good!
As as far as working in 1/72 goes, I find that the magnification I use makes it work-an Optivisor knock-off, and cheap reading glasses (3x magnification) from the drug store. Good lighting helps, too, general area and focused lighting.

Yes, Airfix. Bifocals I use are split with reading on top with +1.50 extra in the reading area.

I hear, 1/72 is a bit small these days for me as well. The one benefit it has is it takes up less space.

Of course that is often at the price of detail

I try to save the larger scales for more favorite "show piece" type rather than trying to have every subject represented in that scale.

 

[Down Time]

A bit more progress, time has been scarce.

Looks really good!

Save for a few minor details, bomb truck is pretty much set.

[blakeh1]

Those are great!

In the process of building the Academy 1:72 Memphis Belle with ground support vehicles for a small diorama.

Nice job! I've been looking for this Gal in 1/48, no luck so far.

I think Revell has a 1:48, check Sprue Brothers

Thnx, I just Re-Googled it and just now bought a kit from HK on HobbyLinc. Really nice one, very detailed. Don't know why it didn't appear in my initial search. Maybe the Bourbon Goggles clouded my vision! LOL
