Off the Bench - Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle

 

Well after some time, and frustration, the Gecko Models Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle is coming on the bench.  Overall it is a very nice kit, there are some finnicky bits, and I did lose one of the propeller blades, but was able to 3D print a set to replace them all. 

The model was painted with AK Real Colors and weathered with AK Pencils and Ammo by Mig shadders, with a little bit of enamel washes included.

On the Bench - May 18

 A couple of kits I have been working on for the past couple of weeks.

An oldie, but a good, is the Bronco Land-Wasser-Schlepper(Mid Production).  Overall the kit went together very well, with an impressive interior (sorry did not get photos).  It is at the stage of weathering, and I included the Thatchweave Products bumper set.  This set it is easy to install and really adds to the completed model look.

And still in progress is the Gecko Model US Navy Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle(PACV).  The build has had some challenges, but overall a fun build.  There is a good interior, with the internal stand for the turret gunner a little finicky to install.  Just in the process now of adding window, which will be masked and the external details.
