All i did was swap the barrel
left the telephone on the back too
it might need more weathering
and it needs a crew
The markings are
5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards with the
H.Q Northern Ireland formation sign in the middle of the front Glasis
which consists of
St Patricks Cross with the Red Hand of Ulster
For our overseas friends St Patricks Cross is the red x in the Union Jack
All comments welcome

Hi Andrew,
I think it looks great! track are nice too. are those the kit tracks? Vinyl or other?

Gary

Hi Gary
the tracks are from the kit
when i painted them i put cardboard strips between the mudguards and the tracks tho make them sag which stayed
as the paint hardened
thanks for your interest
Andrew

I hesitate to say this as you undoubtedly put thought and work into it, but American Track doesn't sag like that. American Track is so called "live" track. I like the job overall though, nice subtle weathering.

id like to have had the tracks tight but when i put the humbrol enamel paint on to the vinyl tracks they stretched
so i just sliped in small strips of cardboard to take up the slack and producing the sagging
this doesnt happen with plastic indi links
some vinal tracks dont stretch you just have to chance it at the time
regards Andrew

Those marking are very nice.
You hand painted them?

phil

hi phil
yes i handpaint all my markings
it means i can put on any markings i want
its a good skill to have when doing whatifs
using Northern Irish markings you cant buy anyway

I'll try that on my next project: flak panther ausf d from cyber-hobby.
Thx again for all the tips.

your welcome
sounds like an interesting build
regards andrew
