Nichimo Kingtiger 9/18/2020
1/35 scale 1975 Nichimo Kingtiger done for now, possible fine-tuning later as it will be in a diorama. This tank and Panthers are so sleek I like to leave off tow cables, tools, etc. that clutter up the lines. Palettes show colors that were used, although much was covered by the whitewash:

Zanas
Teaspoon for scale. If we have roast pork, we have zanahorias y papas.
common name of plants of the genus Daucus, cultivated from ancient times for their large, tapering, edible root, c. 1500, karette, from Middle French carrotte, from Latin carota, from Greek karoton.
Zanahoria f. (n.) "carrot"
14th cent. Old Spanish çanahoria, dialectic variant safanòria. Borrowed from Andalusian Arabic *safunnárya 'id.,' itself borrowed from Ancient Greek σταφυλίνη ἀγρία (staphulíne agría) "wild carrot." Σταφυλίνη "carrot" is a diminutive of σταφυλή (staphulé) "grape," of unknown origin. Ἀγρία, when referring to plants meaning "wild," is from ἀγρός (agrós) "field" (see agro).
The French in English; the Arabic in Spanish. They never get old.

Dornier Do-335, April 17, 2020
Monogram's 1/48 kit from 1974, airbrushed acrylics and enamels. I love the late-war Dark Green and Brown-Violet splinter camo, used it about 20 years ago on an Me-109. Paint was still good after all this time.
