Hies,
Just bought my second kit.. 1:48 M4A3 Sherman Tank from HobbyBoss.. Opened the box and found out that the kit is a bit over my head.. But i'll give it a try anyway..
I will be going for this look with the tracks, track wheels and the brownish tinted meta plate behind the wheels..
Needless to say i will not be able to achieve such a consistent look but i hope to get the 'at least i tried' effect..
My questions are;
- Can i get a close look and feel without and Airbrush? Is it too much of a strech to even try to replicate this given my close to none experience..
- Can anyone point me in the right direction for this 'used and maybe slightly rusted but is receiving proper care so still shiny and good to go' effect..
- I guess i have to build the trackwheels before assembly as it will be hard to fiddle when assembled, right?
Thanx
