stevej60 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Cracking build especially for a first attempt,well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentG Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Looks darn good from where I sit. The color is spot on and the wear and tear looks believeable. Next time sand the center seam from the front tires. That wasn't part of the tread pattern in real life. The palm tree insignia is upside down, but hey it could have been painted by a drunken panzerschutz. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Rogers Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yours and many other people's first armour build I suspect. Really takes me back to when my brother and I discovered Tamiya kits. A great kit and you've made yours very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Licker Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Very good effort for your first kit I really have a soft spot for these half tracks, and remember building that Tamiya kit a couple of times Aside from what the others have already said, the main thing I would suggest for your next build would be to invest in a more modern kit, for the 251's that means Dragon, or AFV Club if you prefer the rubber-band tracks. You seem to have the basic techniques worked out, and starting from a more detailed base would really enhance the finished product (there's a saying about a silk purse and a sow's ear I think, not that the Tamiya kit is that bad).

PZRGREN Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Great build, the weathering is just right in my opinion. Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
