Bronco's SPG Bishop

[Jamie Tainton]

Looks good Tony but I wonder about the white interior, I thought the Brits used silver for their inside to reflect light?

[Pierre Parroux]

interesting, i do not know that, i thank the majority of afv were white inside

[Tony Lee Watts]

Jamie you're right about the silver(aluminum paint)
Before starting this build I read all I could find and consulted two UK armor experts.
Before and very early in the war they did paint interiors aluminum silver. When aluminum powder was needed more for aircraft aluminum product
they switched to white paint. Late in the war I hear they went back to aluminum paint after supplies of the powder returned to normal.
I've forgotten the years this back and forth took place,Sorry.

Anyway back to the Bishop which is starting to appear:




Beautiful day here in the Ozarks but COLD temps returning by Monday

This kits looks so detail! How is the accuracy? Do you need any modification to make it right?

[Tony Lee Watts]

Lim i'm 70 years old and being a self propelled gun fanatic I don't think I have the time left to get into building that perfectly detailed model.
Yes it's pretty well detailed but if you're a mind too there is plenty you could add that I saw while researching the Bishop as there is with any kit.

I just add little things here and there to jazz them up and could very easily go overboard in a flash so to speak.
Take a look at the post of my first dio viewtopic.php?f=50&t=826 I couldn't stop myself on this one.

Welcome to the site btw

Looks like during the heat of battle it gets rough in there don't it?





While that interior dries i'll tackle the exterior:


Have a Great weekend and we'll see you Monday

[Pierre Parroux]

beautyful kit, do you paint with paint brush ?

[Tony Lee Watts]

Pierre I use the airbrush on the larger things and brush most of the detail stuff.
And yes it is a very nice kit. I wouldn't recommend it for the beginner but anyone with a few kit under their belt
could handle it with ease.

Cheers
