Revell/Renwal 1/32 Teracruzer with Mace Missile (reissue) WIP Part 4

In part 3 I was in the homestretch.  That was 2 years ago!  Now I really am on final approach.

The only remaining assembly is the cab and then decals.  I painted my Mace in an operational scheme and most of the kit decals won't work.  When I print my own decals this project will finally be done.  This kit was a bear with all the sanding, but I like the way it turned out.  I'm very happy Revell reissued this interesting, but, important part of America's early missile program.

March 2015 Models

Tonight is the April meeting, so I figure I better post the photos of the models from the March meeting.

This is Gary's Revell 1950 Oldsmobile 88, winner of the 1950 Carrera Panamerican race, driven by Hershel McGriff.
Jon brought his Tamiya 1/48 A-10, demonstrating that he doesn't build exclusively in 1/72.
Michael's T-34 is a 1/56 scale resin kit in Finnish markings.
Pablo brought his Eduard 1/48 Mirage IIIC.  He also thoughtfully provided a flashlight for viewing the detail in the all-black cockpit.
Randy displayed his highly detailed Tamiya LaFerrari.
Scott S has built the new Bandai 1/12 Stormtrooper.  Scott says it's a very easy build, but it did require a little seam work and paint touch up.
Tomasz's contribution in March was Hasegawa's Ju-87G in the marking of the Luftwaffe's Stuka master, Hans Rudel.
Scott L brought his Airfix 1/72 bridge, which is destined for a diorama.
This is Mark's Hobby Boss 1/350 Type IX U-Boat.  He acquired this kit at one of the club Christmas parties a few years ago.  Nice to see it built!
Finally, here's the Model of the Month: Ron's ESCI Wehrmacht horse-drawn ambulance.  Congrats, Ron, on this beautiful model.
