Hi, I post here some pics about my first tank model. Please feel free to comment and to tell what you think.

Thanks

It is better to actually add the pics here as opposed to linking to a gallery. I have unsuccessfully tried to add them for you. No joy.

Flickr sucks as a photo hosting site for adding to web pages. PhotoBucket is much more user friendly and easier to add photos from.

It looks pretty good. Good job on the weathering. It looks convincingly dirty. One note though, the tracks are on backwards. The chevron should point down in the front, not up. The track is too loose too. I would shorten it up by a link or two. Actually, I would get rid of the aweful kit tracks and put a set of AFV Club's indi-link track on it. They would make it look 100% better. The power cord for the search light is too tight too. If the gun tube moved up or down, it would pull out. It should be longer to allow some slack for movement of the gun.

Overall a great job, especially for your first tank model. A few tweaks and it can be even better. Good job on it.

Hello Andrea

I've posted your photos below, but I'd also recommend using photobucket to host your photos since it has the images with the needed html code listed under each photo.






For your first build, its really very good. The weathering looks very natural as well.

Thank you all for you help and comment. I hope to do better next time and to cancel some mistakes...

Very nice for a first attempt. But the tracks are on backwards.

I did the Master for the TWS M-48A3 Turret and the M-1 Cupola and there was a pile of detail corrections and improvements over the Kit parts. Plus a few corrections. While the Tamiya kit parts are okay, there is still lots of room for improvement. The Model B series had minor detail differences in the turret, air cleaners, and full grills on the rear exhaust/engine access doors. Hope this helps, if you need more info then email me. Best thing to do if you want to build Pattons is hit the Patton Tank website and get ahold of a copy of Hunnicut's book on the Patton series.
