Hi guys like the title says T-24 medium tank. This will be my first armor build in many years, I will try to keep it simple so I don't mess it up. I am shore I will have lots of questions along the way.
I did not post the beginning of the build as I think this is a pretty simple kit and I am sure most of you are a lot better at this than I am. This will also be a test as to weather my pics are working. All questions welcome.

Well I got the pics to work but they are way to small, you have to click on each one to get the bigger view, some one let me know if it works for them.

Thanks for your reply I am glad it works, now I have to get the pics to show up full size across the post to small no one likes to do extra clicking. Funning thing is I never had this problem posting pics before when I had a working Mac pc now with windows I am a little bit lost.

Now that's a lot better, it would appear I was copying the thumb nail and not the full size photo, much better. The next pics I will just make a little larger for now this should work.

I feel your pain. I work in the Graphics field and Adobe and Mac keep changing stuff so you HAVE to keep upgrading or buying new equipment.

I lived there for 20 years.

Thanks for your comment Jeff, I live in Lynbrook Long Island very few people have ever heard of it. My next update we be on the track links.



I know exactly where it is , after we lived in Manhattan ,we moved out to the Island, lived in Massapequa. Sure do miss Jones Beach in the summer cold water and all .LOL Used to go by it every day when riding the LIRR to Manhattan, heading to work in Brooklyn. Lynbrook station.Hempstead, Small world I guess.Back on subject looking good,keep after the build.

Cheers

I think you are the first person I talked to who has ever heard of Lynbrook that was outside of New York, pretty funny. I should have a small update soon on the track links.

Time for an update first pic is of some of the track links on the wooden jigs I made, second pic is the base coat preshade in nato black. Next few pics are of the Russian green with a few different shades for color modulation. So far I think it looks preety good, all comments welcome.

Thanks Jeff, I really do like using an airbrush even if my hands are not to steady any more.

Time for an update. The first pic show the suspension installed and the track links, I painted all the mg's nato black and all the rubber on the wheels also. The second pics shows the tracks painted Tamiya gun metal, I think the color works pretty well. All comments welcome.

Time for an update, first pic shows the muffler in red primer with 2 coats of hair spray and the second in Russian green. The last pic shows the muffler weathered and the tracks have a black and rust wash. All comments welcome.
