Modelling progress
Wednesday, 18 February 2026 13:22I've been busy with two models for a while now, both of 1991-vintage military equipment.
One is a Russian T-80UD tank, and I'm finishing up the camouflage on it. It's been interesting building a bigger scale tank. There's a lot of work on the wheels an tracks before you get to put it all together.
The other is a Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer, an extraordinary Cold War bomber used by the RAF and by South Africa. I'm doing it in a Gulf War colour scheme, which essentially means it was painted in a colour called "desert pink", designed to be able to be washed off.
I'm really enjoying the process of doing panel lines (thin black paint, cleaned up with turpentine), and next I'll do some gentle weathering on it.
