Cool. I’m not on Facebook

GMK started following Painting vinyl or rubber kit tyres? and AFV Club 1/35 M113A1 w/T50 turret

Nice accompaniment to their Centurion Mk5/1 (Aust).

Too easy! I’ve moved across to 1/16 scale armour, pretty much exclusively, designing & 3D printing my own kits. I’m just reluctant to get rid of them...yet.

Perfect shade of brown you’ve managed there. Love the Wave kits. Have about a dozen in the stash that I need to get rid of. Watching with interest.

Hello all, looking for tips/advice on whether kit rubber or vinyl tyres can or should be painted or coated to preserve them? If yes, what paints can be used? thanks.
-
Cleaning up the odds & sods to flesh out the details. T handles/latches. Handles & latches on the bonnet. Hinges & vents for the roof. Exhaust pipe. Matted the underside. And touched up the new parts. Thanks for stopping by.
-
Yeah, about that....
-
Down to 148 tanks. Well, new turrets will be interesting.
-
Thanks Ray. Probably finish the M1 & my M113. Considering an AS1. On the fence about Boxer, tbh.

Lovely work!

But not at the expense of having something that no other ally has. 120mm smoothbore = commonality, interoperability, & widely available ammunition. 130mm = none of that. The CR2 LEP 120mm smoothbore turret can (allegedly) be upgraded to 130mm once the gun matures. Do what the US did with Abrams. Field it with a mature gun, with the ability to be upgunned built in at service entry. With a new turret, maybe it’s time for a name change? Firefly? Churchill?

Nope. Why swap one technical orphan (120mm rifled) for another (130mm smoothbore)?
