Hi mates!!

Here is another oldtimer-project of mine. Tamiya's M42 "Duster" in 1/35 scale.
As far as I know, the Duster (released in 1970) is one of the first Tamiya tank models.
Built out of the box, painted with colors from Tamiya and Revell.

Cheers
Stefan

Very nice build.

The first tank was 1955 however that was wooden, the first plastic tank was the Panther in 1961.
