havoc Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi All, Thought I would build one of these more or less OOB. Only added parts are the 75mm Main gun and Coaxial MG. Both are RB metal upgrades, I also thought I would try out the Vallejo AFV paint set for British AFV's. This was a test or my novice airbrush skills. It was actually really easy to use and I think I have had a reasonable result. Other paints etc used were: Tamiya, Mig pigments and oil washes. Apologies for the photos but having camera trouble at the mo. The Tank represents one from the 34th Tank Brigade, 107th RAC in France 1944/45. Any comments are always welcome. Cheers all, Clive. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Nice job. The way you weathered the tracks looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Cheers, they were the bits I was most worried about. I used Mig European earth, graphite stick and vallejo natural steel. Hopefully the more I do the better I get lol. Thanks for the comment mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harfoot Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Brilliant, i like the track deatil, looks very realistic. Looking forward to making the flame thrower version soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Cheers !! Yes I've just ordered one as well. About time it was re-released !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Well the older one is just as good as the re-released. Great work on this one havoc Are you going to crew the vehicle in the future. You might like to seal the decals with some Klear or matt varnish, this will help to protect decal and your model. foxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hello Foxy, Thanks for the advice and comments. I did satin varnish the decals as well as the whole model but the Britton ones come up due to the uneven surface of the intakes. I've ordered some decal fix and will apply when it arrives. I do have the crew here but I'm not that good at doing them. Have started them but chickened out !! Can't get the faces right. The uniforms etc are not too much of a problem just the faces and skin tones. Cheers, Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
