My daughters boyfriend bought me a 1/72 scale RAF Support Vehicle set for Christmas and I've just finished it. It's funny - because there weren't alot of parts, but it was more challenging for me than a 1/35 scale tank because of the size of the parts - eyes being what they are and fingers being what they are.
But I got them done. I didn't do any weathering or do anything in the way of touching up

I was especially lazy on the motorcycle - but my hands just aren't steady enough to paint something so small

The "glass" seemed to not like the Alcalad Semi Gloss I sprayed. I thought it might do the same as the Jonsons Klear I used to use - but no. I'll have to remember not to use this on clear parts

And for size comparison. Next time I get 1/72 vehicles I think I'll donate them to charity

Thank god they're done and out the way. Space 1999 Eagle next...I need something easy
You have a nice collection going, JD.
Thanks.
I'm starting to be more confident with the airbrush.
I've got some great kits to make - F-14, Sherman, Tiger, an aircraft carrier, the old and new Star Ship Enterprise, a helicopter (Lynx I think)....I'm looking forward to all of them!
