Delayar Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi! I finished this kit a few weeks ago, and finally found the time to take some pictures. It is the Tamiya kit with a few scratch built details, mainly to add some wiring. The holes in the front brake disks were opened, the mounting of the starter motor was added, throttle cable as well as some other cables were added. The model was painted with Alclad and Tamiya colours. The tank was painted with Tamiya maroon, decanted and spraxed with an airbrush. I also applied Bare Metal Foil on various parts. I messed up the "1000" decal on the right side cover, so it is absent. I haven't put anything on the licence plate yet. Thanks for watching, and best regards, Markus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Beautiful model! But where do the Japanese come up with these names? Virago sounds like some sort of disease. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayar Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thank you all! As for the name Virago: It is latin, and means a heroic woman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virago) Regards, Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
