The Scale Model Podcast - EP 117 - Shizuoka Hobby Show 2023

Stuart - Beaufighter paint on and complete. A satisfying feeling when the masking comes off. Several small areas require some touch up, but over all it looks good.I’m trying Tamiya XF72 as I do not have an AK colour for the RAF brown currently. The XF72 is labelled as JGSDF brown and is slightly lighter than the XF52 Flat Earth I have used in the past. I’ve read that others find the colour closer to the actual RAF brown. Then masked and put on the AK Dark Green.

Geoff - Not much modelling, but got a long way on the rebuilding of our screened cabin by the lake! On the bench I was limited to working on the Tamiya 1/12 Datsun 240Z… a LOT of detail on this one!

Terry - The Fine Molds Mitshubishi Babs is nearly done. Dullcoat looks OK, so just some finishing bits to do. I’m trying to get it done for the May deadline.

Will Barton’s Aldrin Class version of the Shenzou ship - a TOS era version of the design - is moving along nicely, and in primer now. Some parts in their second coat after further cleanup. Will plans to have 5 or so copies to sell at Wonderfest. Decals available from G-Cals.
