Foxbat Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Placeholder while I wait for the postie. I've built the 1/100 version of this in Red Army colours so I'll be exploring paths less traveled with this build. The kit is of the more common late version (with the stowage boxes on the rear fenders for the tracks that could be used to convert it into a half track) so I have quite a choice of potential schemes to choose from. I got a good deal on the kit so I spent some of the saving on a metal gun barrel. Now I'm seriously looking at the Swedish version which had the main armament removed. Life, eh?

Foxbat Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Having spent February incubating lurgy (kidney stones: they're not big or clever but they hurt like mad and don't come without a few friends), it's time to get this road on the show. First up, some pics of my starting point: 1. The box full of plasticky goodness 2. The main sprues 3. The minor sprues, tyres and stock decals 4. The decals I'm actually going to use. Not finally decided yet whether to do scheme C (a Finnish BA-10) or D (a Hungarian BA-10M) Why the indecision? 5. Here's why. I'd like to add at least one crewman, and I like the seated figure from each box Wonder what Panzer Vor is in either of those languages?

CliffB Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This will be nice Andy, especially with a crewman or two. Hope you're fully recovered now. Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hope you've been feeling better How are you getting on with this? We're not far off the half-way point in the GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Progress has been glacial, but there has been progress. I have a turret, complete with metal barrel and a new (to me at least) type of filler. The former went in no bother and the latter is a joy to use so I'm inspired to more progress soon. A little tidy up and it will be ready for paint. Hope the rest of it falls together like that did - I do like Zvezda engineering. Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) In fact, here it is with a quick base coat slapped on since the last post. Akan 3B Protective Dark Green. Going to take a couple of coats to properly cover, but it gives you (and me) an idea. Andy Edited March 12, 2018 by Foxbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 This looks the business Regarding the 1/100 scale version, for those of us with more years experience than others, please stop showing off about the fact your eyesight is still good enough to even find a 1/100 kit let alone build it ! cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
