Ian Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Just finished this morning for the Korean War ‘Campaign’ (Group Build) over at Modellers Alliance, my other modelling ‘home’. This is the Dragon M46 that I bought when it was a ‘new’ release way back in 1995 !!. Only now did I attempt it as up until this point, I truthfully didn’t believe that my limited skills were up to the task, to be brutally honest, I’m still not certain. Well if it wasn’t for the fact that the (Italeri) tracks that I used to save time are two links too small I’d be 100% delighted with the build, however now that I need to go-back and fit a couple of links from the kit anyways, I can only claim 99.2% satisfaction…. Never mind, that issue is easily overcome. So TWENTY YEARS this has been in the stash awaiting my skills to match my expectation. Please be VERY honest with your opinions and comments, folks. Looking forward to hearing what you guys think. Ian. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'll try this again, as I just deleted my first reply! I don't see any limited skills on display in that model Ian! i really like your paintwork & the weathering is terrific! I can't tell whether the tiger is decals or paint - whichever it is it's very neatly done. Cracking model, I really like it! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredben Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Very good Build Ian. painting, weathering and all the extra bits and pieces added. If that was in a dio it would look even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Great job! Hard to believe that's in 1/35th scale. Nice weathering. I like the stowage too, especially the nets/sheets/ etc. The real 'tiger' would have been hand-painted, possibly sprayed, so well done for getting it just right for either option! lol. Personally, I think models look at their best in dioramas, but hey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks everybody, really appreciate all the positive comments. That's the last armour build from me for a while, got a few flying things and more than a few race car things crowding around the bench just now. Thanks again. Ian.
