Kevdan Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi guys, Heres my finished trumpeter 1:35 scale AS90. Realy enjoyed making this kit for an old mate from the Regiment. (3 RHA) I used the Eduard PE kits for the mesh and other bits, the RBM 39 calibre barrel instead of the Braveheart, and Lenses were from Little cars. 3RHA Cypher on turret was done with crafty cards inkjet water slide decal paper. painted using Valejo acrylics and clear varnished with Valejo gloss varnish, The barrel transit clamp was too high so cut it down by the equivalent of about 18" and it looks better now. Anyway here's the pics. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Moore Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 That's a fantastic build, I'm sure your mate will be more than happy with it. I must get round to building one of these some day Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Nice work, thanks for linking to this in my WIP, I'd missed it before. Which Vallejo green did you use for the NATO green? Edited May 3, 2015 by SaintsPhil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevdan Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I used 71.012 Dark Green, and 71.057 Black. with Valejo Gloss varnish over the top. I painted everything before adding the lenses, then glossed over after. So were you RHA then? I've just noticed these from accurate armour, I may replace the ammo boxes for the GPMG on top of the turret. http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?category=4&subcategory=34&product=344&manufacturer=0 should make a lot of difference to the detail.

Thanks, no I'm not ex services at all, the RHA option from the 2003 invasion of Iraq just stood out to me! I've got those ammo boxes and the GPMG on the wish list for my buildalong with this http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?manufacturer=0&category=4&subcategory=34&product=2227 There's also this as an alternative the the AA GPMG live resin do an L7A2 which I think is the right type http://models-hobby.com/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?sku=Lre35088 Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevdan Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm a member of the RHA past and present members association, I'll try and get you some photo's of Iraq 2003. Cant Promise anything though, the one I just finished was for the battery AS90 Driver and maintenance instructor. He wont get it until we meet up for the PPMA reunion in September. I saw the 155 ammo crates but I'd only use them if doing a diorama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're mate will be well pleased to receive that, if you can let it go by then... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevdan Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I promised him I'd do one, but a bit gutted as this is by far a better build than my original one I did for myself, Might use it for target practice and do another one eventually. Keep the pics coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
