Ola guys,

Been a while since I've posted on these forums but I've been busy with other modelling related things.
Anyways, this is the old Tamiya kit built OOTB. Only things added are some grab handles from wire and I've replaced the mesh on the backside.
Base colors with tamiya acrylics and filters with enamel and oil paints. Still have to do a drybrush and some chipping on the invasion stripes. The stones will receive a wash.
Any comments are welcome.

i like it,is the towcable from the box also??.and will there be a antenna on this monster

Hey Jeroen,
Thanx for the comments. The towcable is from Karaya and there will be no antenna.
Greetz,

Dirk

ok thanks,another thing i want to know,what color did you use for green and did you handpainted the stripes and markings.

grtzzzz jeroen.

Jeroen,
First coat was Tamiya XF1 Flat Black, then I used Tamiya XF13 JA Green.
For the panels I used 70% XF13 and 30% XF60 Dark Yellow.

The stripes were marked with tamiya masking tape and then sprayed with tamiya flat white. The markings are done with stencilit.

Dirk

I love it already! :-) And you already said the things you still need to do, so I have no comments!

Great job!

Hey Dirk....

What can I say, every time I see this beast, it looks better!! I like the brick dust you added to the wheels, and the weathering looks spot on on the pictures.
Can't wait to see her when dry-brushed and chipped!!

Keep the piccies coming!!

Greetz, John.

Well this one surely looks nice beastie. clean neat build and nice painting . When u finish weathering will be even much better !!!

The "beast" looks wonderfull

the groundwork needs improvements, there are only large parts of bricks there and mostly in same colour, bricks from broken wall or something would have much more smaller pieces and a lot of dirt.

but the tank itself is marvelous

Surely those are not the kit tracks? they look like friuls to me! The detail looks superior to tamiya´s old tracks plus some wires are visible at the back view.
They look great anyway.
Actaully the whole tank looks great. Nice build and the paint work is excellent. The mesh for the back side and wire replacements for handles have added a lot, but paint job and weathering really brings the model up a level. The stripe is also well done.
Is that a kincali cobbled road? When the bricks are finished up this will look the part. Great work Bep.
