Enjoy 4 minutes of scale modelling highlights with all the finished entries of #TonyTonyTony.
It's been fantastic to see the #histscalemodels community come together working on a rather narrow theme.
Very well done you all and thank you again for making this happen 👏👏

Alright, now with the Su-18 out of the way, how about a Halifax?
Or a Sratojet?
Or if 1/72 really isn't for you right now, an 1/32 Lancaster Nose?

Soviet SU-18 self propelled gun. It never went into production, top heavy, narrow gauge and only held 4 shells.

Prototype roll out day, 10th October 1930, the ever-present commisars are not happy.

Kit by HobbyBoss 1/35. Loved making this little one.

Of course it's 1/72, it's roughly 7 years you know me by now 😁

Zwilling Day16: De-masking took a good while, then propellers, gear and SCs went on.

Thanks mate, one last spray job to come, the rest are small parts and weathering.
If all goes well I'll be able to wrap the Zwilling up by Sunday 😃

Slightly Caddish @jaaaagirr.bsky.social · 2d

So the masking templates are now included in the kits like on Hobby2000 and the Eduard Profi Packs?
That would be quite the perk 🙂

I hear you, I use the AK masking tape which is a very gentle adhesive. Straight lines are needed for the LW splinter, so it works in this case

Finally finished my Dixie Clipper. It's my second 1/144 four-engine aircraft, and shows the seaplane as it appeared when it transported President Roosevelt to the Casablanca Conference 1943. It's my third and last entry in #HeaviesGB ! putteringinthestudy.com/2025/10/27/b... #histscalemodels

Luckily my Gigant is of the self propelled variety and doesn't need a tug anymore 😎

You could add this to #HeaviesGB you know 🙂

Slightly Caddish @jaaaagirr.bsky.social · 6d

Ok that one I own longer than a week and it wasn't second hand 🤣

Slightly Caddish @jaaaagirr.bsky.social · 6d

Looking forward to it, starting out with Santa Cruz already sets a scene 🙂

As already posted, this week in #histbookchat I will stay in the Pacific with a very new book praised by Marshall and O'Hara.

Soon I’ll be picking up where Fortress Rabaul leaves off with ‘Target: Rabaul - The Allied Siege of Japan’s Most Infamous Stronghold, March 1943-August 1945’ by Bruce Gamble. It is also my humble #photofriday #histbookchat offering this week.
