Hi there chaps, I'm a real novice at historical and/or scale model making/painting! Coming from a long background of Scifi/Fantasy etc. but have finally given it a go! I've made 5 kits now (wow!) and am very much enjoying the price/aspect/fun of 1/72. My first ever aircraft (I tried when i was young with the usual spitfires, but always failed!), a Matchbox 1/72 Hawker Hurricane MkII-C (PK II), was finished a few days ago. It was an old kit (eerily exactly the same age as I) and I wanted to try painting German markings, so this stolen plane was created. I did not have any transfers, and everything is by brush/freehand etc. I had never tried weatheirng a plane before either! It's not perfect, but as a first attempt, I was quite pleased! What do you think? ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_010.jpg?w=300&h=257) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_013.jpg?w=300&h=278) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_014.jpg?w=300&h=272) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_015.jpg?w=286&h=300) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_017.jpg?w=300&h=239) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_018.jpg?w=300&h=224) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_021.jpg?w=300&h=133) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_022.jpg?w=300&h=300) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_024.jpg?w=300&h=283) On to some heavy armour! I picked up a box of StuH 42's from Armourfast a while back, and they were my first go at real world tanks, they were painted quickly, but I think look 'ok' ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_004.jpg?w=300&h=165) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_005.jpg?w=300&h=177) I was trying to create German Autumn Oak cammo.... Next up, is a German captured KV-1 Big Turret from Trumpeter, I really enjoyed making this kit, having (again in my youth) never got to grips with vinyl track... ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_001.jpg?w=300&h=205) ![](http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/wp_20140817_003.jpg?w=300&h=232) Again I did not have any transfers for either of these kits! I'm currently working on another tank (Sturmgeschütz iii ausf.f) which i will put in the WIP forum. Anyway, any comments appreciated! and here is a link to my photo blog: Blog
Update: Here is the completed Sturmgeschutz III ausf. f. In need of a good wash and some TLC! ![](https://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/savedpicture-2014819194852.jpg?w=604) ![](https://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/savedpicture-2014819194858.jpg?w=604) ![](https://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/savedpicture-201481919492.jpg?w=604) ![](https://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/savedpicture-2014819194911.jpg?w=604) ![](https://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/savedpicture-2014819194934.jpg?w=604) ![](https://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/savedpicture-2014819194939.jpg?w=604)
