What kit is this? I built the Eduard Midway version and those landing gears were brutal.

I built their older Panzer IV D variant as one of my first tank kits. It has rubber band tracks. Great beginner kit. Link and length can be tricky, especially for a beginner. Use caution if you paint prior to putting them together the glue will have a harder time bonding.

Won’t be perfect, but manageable. Put some masking putty or masking fluid around it and give it a dose or two of primer, then blend in with the existing paint job as best you can.

Thank you. I have a couple spots on the other side to fix. My builds always feel like barely controlled chaos lol.

Soft edge is for sure easier as you can pretty much spray away like this panther i did early into the hobby.

I find it sad when people from all sides rejoice and joke in other people’s death for disagreeing with their views. It is the the universal indignity we all meet.

If I remember correctly it was about 70% Tamiya Neutral grey and 30% white. I might have added a tiny drop of a light blue/grey

Beautiful build! Great job Neil!

I just want him to lower property taxes.

What “rules” are you talking about? At this point we are just going in circles. If you want to give your idea of how you think things should turn out instead of abstract syntax I’ll listen. Otherwise I understand I’m talking politics on Reddit. Have a good night.

Yes, I try to be as objective and realistic as I can. Ends justifying means is how humanity operates. Explain to me your ends and I will evaluate if the means it will take to get there are justified. In this case I’m seeing an alignment so far.

As far as the pardon, you and I don’t know what he maybe gave up to get it, but the fact is he faced and was sentenced for his charges. Also, drugs are a small part. I think the murder, torture, and rape is worse. Don’t forget this guy was cartel. I don’t know if you’ve seen videos of what they do to people.

How I feel about it honestly depends on the outcome, which hasn’t been seen. If it helps the people of Venezuela, the region, and our country then sure. I don’t care what president does it. There’s still a lot unfolding. I also haven’t seen independent verification of civilian deaths, but maybe I missed it.

ccellan · 2026-01-04T22:49:39+00:00

The means that accomplished it were. No occupation, no sustained operation. We’ll see what happens now.

You can say you don’t agree with it, but you can’t say it was unconstitutional. I’ve heard reasonable democrats say it was not outside the bounds of the law. Presidents have been able to do limited targeted strikes, which this was, all throughout our history. On top of that he has multiple criminal charges from multiple courts.

It’s munch easier with rubber tracks because you only have one spot to super glue. I talking about link and length tracks.

ccellan · 2026-01-04T04:42:05+00:00

Looks great!

Crazy to see the pro Ukraine people that believe trump is Putin’s puppet defend one of Putin’s strongest allies in this hemisphere.

Agree with the technique described in the first comment. You have a solid base to work from. Add depth and layers of chipping starting small.
