Hi all, here my last project, its a 1/35 WWII British Mk. IV Infantry Support Tank from Tamiya, in Normandy fashion.

Its an old buddy, but still looks great.

I add Eduard photoetched parts, for some clamps, and metal shapes. Cannon are JB one.

















Regards, Alvaro

Hi Alvaro
I love the Churchill. Its early stages yet, but I am eager to see how she comes along.
Keep it up!

Garth

Thanks

@ DJ , I use Squadron putty for the turret, and remove it after dry time (we are in summer here) with a 1000 & 2500 wet sandpaper. (1000 and 2500 refers to "Norton" brand, I mean very smooth). As I need to fill own and kit mistakes.
For the rest of the "putty" (see white areas) I use "Liquid paper" when I need to fill small gaps. To clean it up, you can use alchool with a cotton swap.


@Al & DJ , thanks for looking and words.

Regards Alvaro,

(PS: small progress, I also like the beach! )

I add some photoetched parts, also show how I use the Liquid Paper, the "cottonettes" and the toothpick for more control.


I clean the mess with alchool (gel) and tap water.



Later, I clean again with the cottonette and the wood stick.



Adding details
