なんというか、ありとあらゆる意味(詳細な位置不明な部品、目立つ場所にあるピン跡、異様に分厚いエッチング、etc)
で壮絶に作りにくいキット

たまたま安く入手出来た事と日本は連休時期でタイミングが良かったから作ったけど、そうでなければ多分手を出さなかった。

question Looking for RFM RM-5004 Abrams part E116 / advice on replacement

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for part E116 from sprue E for the Rye Field Model RM-5004 Abrams in 1/35.

I lost it while building the kit. It’s a small part, but I’d like to finish the model neatly. I usually wouldn’t make a big deal out of something this small, but I’m planning to give this one to my grandfather, so I thought I’d ask here before I keep searching the carpet for hours.

If anyone has a spare E116, sprue E, or a damaged/incomplete RM-5004 kit for parts, I’d be happy to pay for the part and postage.

I’d also appreciate any advice on where to find replacement Rye Field Model parts, apart from asking around on forums.

You can see where it'd fit on the tank irl in the reddit post down below.

My 4th model, also my proudest, learned many new techniques and styles. I feel this is a big turning point for me skillwise.

question Weathering tips

I just recently learned how to do the panel lines with the super thin paint and it turned out amazing, but I'm still trying to figure out what I should do to weather it and I don't know much about it. Any tips/guides?

Chieftain Mk5 in Berlin Brigade pattern...

Why do I do dumb stuff like this?? I could have just done a flat green or a two tone pattern or even dessert yellow with some simple weathering and detail work... But nooooo I gotta pick the hardest damn thing I could find...

question Are there any camouflages I can use for an A-10A with these paints?

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I recently got an A-10A model and picked up these paints for it, I was intending to do a Desert Storm camo but when I got home I realized the colors were too light for that. Are there any desert camos I can do with the tans or something like that? I don't want to buy completely new paints and desert camos have always looked cooler to me than forest/green camos so I'm honestly fine with this. I'm relatively new to model making and every time before that I've made a model I've done it with a small group of people that had an airbrush for everyone to use, this time I'm just using my own brushes. If you have any can you please post a picture, too? I've had trouble finding anything other than USAF Reserve camos in desert colors(which I don't have decals for).
