Tamiya 1/48 Sherman

[Fubar]

I just bought some resin AM parts for my Cromwell build and i have to say i'm impressed with the detail you get with it, althought i've had some probs with it such as small parts broken and lots of the rubber from the casting process left behind in the hessian tape camo on the turret....took me ages to get it all out using fine tweezers and an x-acto!!!



My airbrush is an Iwata gravity feed and so far im very pleased with it, the 'smart' compressor is nice and quiet but seems plenty powerful so far.....its even compatible with my old Badger AB too which is nice.

I've even started to mess with electronics and lighting models with fibre optic cables, i know this isnt a military model but once i'm finished with this little Sci-fi kit i'd like to light a modern fighter jet.

I've heard of Flory Models, think i've even seen some Youtube vids by them. Youtube has been a goldmine of info and it's now my first stop for help and tips.

One thing with the photo-etch i really must buy is some quality magnifiers as some of that stuff is sooooo small its almost impossible to see it when working on it!
