Bonhoff Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Second Entry is the M3 Lee I'll not bother with a running commentary on the construction of this one, it all went together with no trouble and fitted well. As I said, there were no real issues building this but I now need to decide on the end user - The box artwork shows the subject in Soviet service, then there is always the option of American or British markings. These two would, according to photos, require the addition of some extra stowage boxes on the rear hull and, if going for the 8th Army option, the addition of sandskirts. Probably have a sleep on it... Kind Regards IanJ Edited February 12, 2018 by Bonhoff 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 There's some nice detail on the surfaces, what colour are you going to paint her? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Fantastic detail for such a small scale. I am very impressed with that, and your tackling of it. If I were building this there'd be glue everywhere while the guns would be somewhere.... most likely on the carpet, snapped.

Bonhoff Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thanks - Not really anything that I've done, it's just a really nicely engineered piece. Leaning towards light stone for an 8th Army subject... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 That looks a super little kit, job well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Skirts added... Skirts courtesy of coffee can foil attached by CA - Consequently, I've been attached to the Lee on more than one occasion too! Kind regards IanJ 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know that feeling only too well.....Also why does one only ever drop the part after one puts the CA on it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would of course be Mr.Murphy and his laws that are to blame for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonhoff Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Post Painting Pictures... Hull is Humbrol 237 as base coat, followed by slightly overdone wash of Citadel Agrax Earthshade, then a thinned wash of Citadel Bleached Bone to tone it down. Tracks a mix of 50/50 Gunmetal and Rust. IanJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
