Once you have the lens assembly out and the screws in the metal plate removed, it will detach fairly easily. As you take it apart, be sure to look for a wavy spacer and the lens to fall out. There has always been marks on my cameras where the spacer has rested against the lens. This will help when you put it back together to know which way the lens goes. But, just in case you forget, there is an upcoming picture that will clearly show the proper lens placement.
Be sure to clean this lens real well because this is what will insure that your pictures turn out clear and without any fogging. 50 year old cameras are notorious for acquiring a coating of dust, dirt and smoke buildup and this is what gives your pictures a ghostly haze to them. Once the lens is free from any dirt, as well as the square glass piece from the front of the camera, you will have a totally clear view for your camera to expose whatever type of film you prefer.

The kit and its assembly:
Ah, Egypt, land of the pyramids, the pharaos ...and a suitable home for what-if aircraft. The idea for this rather subtle whif came when I found pictures of Egyptian Avro Lancaster bombers, which had been in use during the 50ies with little success. Somehow I found their simple livery with black undersides, a high waterline and Medium Sea Grey upper sides, plus the green and white insignia, pretty attractive, though. And when I remembered that I had an Airfix Mosquito NF XIX in store and found out that the type had never been in Egyptian service, the whif project was born.
What started as a simple livery variant quickly turned into more when I considered different engines (since I plan to use the Mossie’s Marlins for another whif conversion in the far future...). I found a pair of Hercules engines from a Matchbox Wellington, together with parts of the engine nacelles and the flame damper exhaust. A perfect match for a night fighter! The resulting problem, though, were the Mossie's engine nacelles, which are much too slender for radials. Further search in the junk yard turned up engine nacelles from an Italeri B-25 - they are designed to fit under the wings and the diameter is a perfect match to the Hercules engines.
As a side note: this whif conversion is not as fantastic as one might think. Even though AFAIK no Mosquito ever carried radial engines, not even for trials or as a protytype, the I.Ae. 24 ‘Calquin’ from Argentina, a light bomber patterned after the Mosquito in 1947 as a domestic development, carried radials, but less powerful Pratt & Whitney R-1830-G ‘Twin Wasp’ engines.
The biggest consequential conversion work included the integration of the new nacelles onto the wings, which turned out to be more problematic than expected. While mounting the nacelles wet rather straightforward (just the front part of the original nacelle top sides had to be cut back and), the radials were too high to mount the flush with the wings' upper sides - I had to add a bulge on top of the wing. Fortunately I was able to implant parts from the Wellington nacelles, but the result looks rather bulky now. This is not a Mosquito anymore, rather a bumblebee...
Some NC putty sculpting was necessary around the nacelles, and the radiator air intakes in the wing roots were cut back and closed with halves from styrene tubes - simple solution. The rest was rather basic work, most of the Mosquito kit remained OOB.
As a match and a visual countre-balance, I added a fin fillet, a simple piece of styrene. It adds to the overall, more massive look - without this, the Mosquito looked quite head-heavy.
Desaster struck, though: after mounting the nacelles in place I tested the landing gear, and it was too far back - maybe by 5mm. This does not sound much, but it was more than enough to make the Mossie look rather odd! So, I had to fix this problem through major surgery and a re-design of the land gear wells and covers, moving everything forward. This was an unpleasant task, since I was more or less ready for painting... Hmpf. Anyway, the landing gear is now in a relative position to the wing leading edge (under the main spar) where the real Merlin Mosquito would have it, so the effort was worthwhile.
Another proplem occured when I wanted to use the B-25 propellers. They not only turned out to be too large, the axis' diameter would also not fit the Matchbox engines... So, after fruitless attempts to convert some of the Airfix parts, I decided to donate parts from the extra box: Hamilton Standard aftermarket propellers from Quickboost. These are actually intended for a 1:72 B-24, but they were perfect in shape and size, and the solution without spinners reduced the front bulk impression.

The kit and its assembly:
This German 8x8 vehicle is a contribution to the “Back into service” Group Build at whatifmodelers.com in late 2019. Beyond aircraft I also thought about (armored) vehicles that could fit into this theme, and the SdKfz. 234/2 “Puma” (even though this popular name was never official!) came to my mind, because it was a very effective vehicle with many modern features for its time. So, what could a modernized Puma for the young Bundeswehr look like…?
The starting point became the very nice Hasegawa SdKfz. 234/2 kit, which did not – except for some PSR between the hull halves – pose any complications. I did not want to change too much for the Bundeswehr update, but new/wider wheels and a new, more modern turret with a light post-war weapon appeared sensible.
The wheels come from a ModelTrans aftermarket resin set for the LAV-25 – they are quite modern, but they do not look out of place. Their different, more solid style as well as the slightly bigger diameter and the wider tires change the Puma’s look considerably. In order to mount them, I modified the suspension and cut away the former attachment point on the four axles, replacing them with thin, die-punched styrene discs. This reduced the track width far enough so that the new, wider wheels would fit under the original mudguards. It’s a tight arrangement, but does not look implausible. The spare wheel, normally mounted to the vehicle’s rear, was omitted.
The turret was taken from a Revell “Luchs” Spähpanzer kit, but simplified so that it would have a more vintage look. For instance, the machine gun ring mount above the commander’s hatch was omitted, as well as the rotating warning light and the modern smoke grenade dischargers. The latter were replaced by the WWII triple dischargers from the Hasegawa kit, for a more vintage look.
To my astonishment, the Luchs turret was easy to mate with the Puma chassis: its attachment ring diameter was almost identical! The new part could be attached almost without a problem or modification. I just added some reinforcements to the hull’s flanks, since the Luchs turret is slightly wider than the SdKfz. 234/2’s horseshoe-shaped turret. Beyond that, only small, cosmetic things were added, like mirror fairings for both drivers above their workstations, license plates at the front and the rear and antennae.
Painting and markings:
Creating an early Bundeswehr vehicle is a simple task, because there is only one potential color option until the Eighties: a uniform livery in Gelboliv (RAL 6014). Due to the livery’s simplicity, I used a rattle can to paint hull, turret and wheels separately.
After some detail painting, a very dark brown wash with acrylic paint and some post shading with Revell 42 (also Gelboliv, but a rather greenish and bright interpretation of the tone) as well as dry-brushing with Revell 46 and 45 along the many edges were used to weather the model and emphasize details. After decals had been applied (mostly from a Peddinghaus sheet for early Bundeswehr vehicles, plus some tactical markings from the Revell Luchs), the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish.
Once dry and completed, some artist pigments were added around the wheels and lower hull in order to simulate dust and dirt. On the lower chassis, some pigments were also "cluttered" onto small patches of the acrylic varnish, so that the stuff soaks it up, builds volume and becomes solid - the perfect simulation of dry mud crusts. I found the uniform livery to look quite dull, so I added some branches (real moss, spray-painted with dark green acrylic paint from a rattle can) to the hull – a frequent field practice.

Assembly Rooms Theatre Scarborough. After reopening after alterations in the late C19th the Mercury reported "There is a commodious and well elevated stage with its handsome and elegantly decorated proscenium. The width of the opening is 20 foot, with a 17 foot depth to the stage. The scenery for the stage is by Mr A E Johnson and the act-drop represents the lovely picture of a Water Party. A substantial brass rod bearing a curtain of rich material divides the orchestra immediately below the stage from the comfortable and well fitted auditorium”. The remains of the grid survive above a false ceiling and the stage has been levelled and sub-divided into various small rooms.
