Peter Marshall Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Started today, Trumpeter 1/35th Tiran-6 Work starts with the road wheels - nice details on these, with separate tyres Next the deflector plates and the boxing on the rear hull complete with the infantry communication telephone Added the running gear finally added the details to the glacis plate. Need to reposition the PE tomorrow a little as the brackets are too high. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildagreek Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Looks good, dare I ask, are the separate tyres "realistic" rubber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Marshall Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Looks good, dare I ask, are the separate tyres "realistic" rubber? No they are normal styrene, just molded in black rather than grey - there you needn't have been scared to ask 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Today's fiddling - first glued the wheels in place. I wasn't going to do this, but the idler wheels are quite a sloppy fit so I glued everything in place first. Then onwards with the tracks - started with the left side. 95 links per side for the individual links Then make up sections gluing them, then while the glue is still soft mold into place. Leave the halves disconnected so that I can remove the tracks for painting. One more to go next weekend. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Marshall Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Today's work - started by assembling all the 'furnature' for the turret Then Trumpeter's attempt at a 50 cal - it's not bad, but i've been spoilt with the Tasca ones :-) Then the Basic T-62 turret - pretty clean before the IDF got hold of it, and welded everything in the universe onto it. Then after the welding, the turret looks like this All finished apart from a couple of 30 cals to add next weekend. I half expect at some point the IDF have added a kitchen sink to one of their vehicles. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishicouldfinishmodels Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 have you considered a touch of sandy pigment around the wheels and on the jerry cans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
