Hi Guys,

Well having worked on the the model for another day I decided I just didn't like the way it was turning out so I scrubbed it down and stated again.

I think this scheme fits better with the pictures I've seen and the lighter areas should allow for the detail to be picked out a bit more.

Still a lot to do but I think I can live with this one.

Hope fully when the side bars and stowage go on it will turn out OK.

Thanks for all the feedback, getting a new scheme half right isn't always that easy.







Cheers

Al,

Watch out for how the rubber band track has lifted the first roadwheel off the ground. All 6 wheels on each side should be in contact with the ground on a flat surface. For a diorama or base, you can get away with it if there is something under that first wheel on both sides. I'm not sure if you have the same problem on the rear wheels, but in the photos they look better than the front wheels.

Hi Paul,

Yip it's the Tamiya tracks I used pushing up the bogies, I'll position it so that it doesn't show when it's ready for a base, otherwise I'll fix it with some glue. A little concrete in the hull would keep it flat :-) :-) :-)

Cheers

Al
