Shermaniac Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 A very nice job Now then! What would you do differently/add/subtract if you were to do it today??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carius Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Well today I would buy a Dragon new kit , but If I used the same Tamiya kit and the conversion set, I only change the old bags, backpacks, tarps and the infantry weapons and equipment from Tamiya, by new ones (resin or plastic). The front wheels too, by resin. Now, my weatherings technics are different too... Cheers Edited June 9, 2014 by Carius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Very good Carius, this was built 18 years ago and you were still good then as you are now. You build some fine and interesting subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carius Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Many thanks Fred. In reality I built this kit between 16 to 18 years ago, I think. At that time I did not have much research material and my skills were smaller than today. But I was careful and concerned about the details and weathering. I also made the weathering with more primitive methods and techniques. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Superbly built & weathered. The gun gives it a completely different look. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
