Small notices
Finally..
A box arrived in my mail..
I will do an inbox review on the Voyager and MK1 Design photoetch for the CV90 shortly.
A small build update..
Hello all..
In case you are interested, here is a small update on my Swedish M3 Scout Car used in the Congo at the link below. My apologies for it being in Swedish. Once the model is complete, I will post an article here on PW in English
The vehicle will be pulling a trailer which is currently in the “weathering workshop”.
Cheers,
Sven
Still waiting..
My package from Lucky Models have now been out there, alone in the world, for a whole month. I hate this waiting..
He who waits for something good..
..always waits for too long.
Some lucky people have already begun receiving their HobbyFan Pbv 302’s. This unlucky b***rd is still waiting for the box to finish it´s journey from Hong Kong to Sweden.
Whenever it arrives, however, you can be sure that it will be reveiwed on this site.
CV9040C is coming this year
It has been rumored for some time that the CV9040C, the up armoured version of the Strf 9040 that has seen international service in Liberia and currently in Afghanistan was on the way in 1/35.
Apparently Hobby Boss is showing off some cad-renderings at the Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse, as Kjell Svensson is tipsing us about here.Sven’s next project
Just wanted to give the heads up on the latest project from the PW author, Sven Young. A tank trailer for his splendid M3 scout car in swedish kongo-service. I hope we’ll see both of them here soon. See the progress on the IPMS Stockholm website.
New site feature – Notices
Here we can post short newsflashes that we don´t want to display large on the main part of the front page. It can be used to link to interesting finds on the web, small news or comments.
We hope you´ll find them worth looking at.
The Volvo “Valp” in 1/72
Jens Lindell of Hobby-Importen is selling a 1/72 resin kit of the Volvo Pltgb 903 also called “Valpen” (The Puppy). See a picture of the kit here.
Hi Ingvar,
How did you make the rear mud flaps?
Nice model by the way!
Modellen din ser svært bra ut.
Jobber med samme sett nå, men klarer ikke helt å finne frem til den lyse grønne fargen. For sort og mørk grønn bruker jeg tamiya nato green og nato black, ser foreløpig greit ut, men den lyse får jeg ikke helt til. Har du noen råd mtp den gode fargegjengivelsen du har fått til
mvh
Georg
Hej Georg.
Tack för kritiken och ledsen för att mitt svar dröjt så länge. Jag har inte varit inne och tittat här på ett bra tag. Den mix jag använder gör jag från nyöppnade mycket väl omrörda Tamiyaburkar. Jag mäter genom att räkna droppar, så skillnader i viskositet mellan de olika nyanserna kan inverka.
Min mix ser ut så här;
Mörkgrön; XF26 216 delar + XF69 100 delar + XF55 40 delar
Ljusgrön; XF5 170 delar + XF55 31 delar + XF4 10 delar
Svart; XF 69 (som jag nog egentligen skulle vilja blanda 1:1 med XF1 om det var en ny vagn)
lycka till!
