Evening All,
The next project, still have a little to do on the Spartan but I started this one a few days ago.
The Spartan will get finished probably this weekend so don't panic
I bought this kit when it was first released and let a friend borrow it for a school project, needless to say I never saw the kit again and a few years later bought it again, this time with a view of building it.
This one will get finished in the proper colours of the cold war so another Green and Back machine and none of the once so fashionable fad of desert cam. You never know I might give the crew some black
coveralls this time around so I'm not accused of favouritism :-)
So onto the build, nothing fancy yet just putting together the bulk of the Tamiya kit so far from the box. a little Mr Surfacer on some of the joins but nothing too serious.
Blocked in the rear of the gun with plastic card, we don't want to be seeing the commander and loaders lower torso through the gun mantlet,
A little more Mr Surfacer to cover a few sink marks.
Carpet crawler holes are filled. The sponson undersides will get plastic card blockers as well.
Gun Travel lock added.
Gun Barrel done, just some clean up required of the two piece moulding, not a problem as it will probably get some cam around it.
Please enjoy folks.
Dan
