Andy Moore Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Quad Gun Tractor BRITISH ARMY NORTH AFRICA TAMIYA 1/35 Hi everyone I built Tamiyas classic Quad in May 2014 after picking it up cheap on ebay. The kit came with Eduards PE set and, in addition to that, I scratch built a few extra details. The stowage came mainly from a Bronco British equipment set. The figures are MiniArt with Hornet heads and the base is a square of plasterboard covered with Vallejo texture paste. It was always my favourite when looking through the Tamiya catalogue as a kit so I'm glad I've finally been able to build it. It was first issued the year after I was born and after 40+ years, the fit and finish of the kit is distinctly better than that of the builder! Hope you enjoy the shots Thanks for looking Andy 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Excellent piece of work. I've got the Airfix rebox of the Max Chevrolet tractor in the stash and I'd be delighted if it turned out half as good. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacles Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Really, really. really nice build, setting, and photos. AFV's not really my thing, but I've always liked Quads. They're so beautifully ugly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys Excellent piece of work. I've got the Airfix rebox of the Max Chevrolet tractor in the stash and I'd be delighted if it turned out half as good. John Thanks John. I built the Max Chevy a couple of years ago from the Italeri boxing. It's still a great kit, in some ways better than the Quad. I'll look forward to seeing what you do with yours. Thanks Andy 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
