This is the Tamiya 250 mixed with the 222 turret. Getting a roof on this thing took forever but I finally used the Tamiya directions/blueprints for getting that exact Roof measurement that eluded me. So it's paper on top reinforced with superglue (heavier underneath). I think it will prime and paint OK - plus most of it is hidden by the turret anyways. The MG in the turret is taken from the AFV club 251. Any tips welcome.

Looks cool, interesting idea for the roof, I wouldn't have thought of that. I'm looking forward to seeing it with paint.

This is nice project, simple yet interesting. I'm looking forward to the paint being applied

I'm not sure that I've seen your name over in the 1:48 Campaign thread, you should consider joining if you haven't.

Some color. Not really a wiz with the airbrush so this was really just an experiment since we're getting whitewashed.

painted tracks, wheels, and gun black, then added some oil mud washes. Next will flick some chunky snow and Mud from a brush and it's done.

Whitewash came out real good, looks nice and worn down.
