Dermo245 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi everyone, This is my first armour kit in a very long time so be gentle! - it was built for an Airfix/Matchbox armour GB elsewhere and the full build log is here. I know, I know - the weathering is OTT for the scale (1/72) but I've learned a lot for the next time. To recap: Kit: Matchbox M1 Abrams (Revell copyright 1993) Build: Mostly OOB but with scratchbuilt turret bustle rack - stowage items scratched or from spares Paint: Brush painted Revell acrylics. Future. Flory Models wash. GW Nuln Oil. W&N Matt Varnish. The varnish was still tacky when I took these hence the slight sheen in some pics. Also, the camera/lighting really shows up the orange ID panel and I can't imagine they're that shiny in real life? For a kit of its age and the fairly basic level of detail, I'm happy with how it's turned out. Thanks for looking and enjoy your modelling.
