Barry Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 With Paul Fisher's Recce Sader coming, you may want to finish this one... Not on the "menu" right now Tim but I do plan to finish it. Perhaps some of the fine Recce builds I expect to see here will spur me to action!

Barry Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hi Tim! Working towards getting back to one of my builds here....A-7D, F-100F, F-4B or this one. I have been building 1/16 RC M1A1HA Abrams. I really enjoy working in the larger scale. Lots of scratch building using styrene and tons of brass. When finished I am estimating a gross weight of 28lbs., with full function RC. There are a couple of Phantom and Crusader builds I am following that give me the yearning to return to one of my builds, one day! The WIP thread can be viewed here. https://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=201&t=18880 Cheers, Barry LSP_K2, timvkampen, Brett M and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Thanks Gents! I was in a slump and spotted an RC web site, RC Tank Warfare and after cruising some builds there I took the plunge. I have been having a blast working in the larger scale. No only can I build a highly detailed model but I can take it out in the yard and operate it!! I have been stretching my skills and learning a lot working with the brass. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This looks just killer, Barry, as expected. I have a 1:16 T-34/85 to wrap up one of these days, but It'll certainly not be anywhere near as detailed as this baby of yours will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ready for paint; I received the primary masks before he went dark but still need the Squadron insignia decal. Barry Maybe you can contact Mika Jernfors at Arctic Decals (he's based in Finland) to do a custom laser print? I've seen his work, and it is top notch.

Barry Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks Guys! Right now everything is taking a backseat to finishing the M1A1HA Abrams with the T.U.S.K 1 fit. Still a ways to go on it so no F-8E, A-7D, F-100F on F-4B in the near future, maybe mid to late next year. As I am now fully retired I do not have to jam my modeling into the real world schedule. I work on my models when "I" feel like it and otherwise they sit including the Abrams. Barry Anthony in NZ, Brett M, Derek B and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
