Ooh - I have one of these I inherited from an unknown local modeller who sadly died.

 

It's part started so ineligible for this gb but I intend to finish it as a tribute to him.

:hmmm:started by you or the late modeller? Stix and Moi Myself would probably take a liberal approach in counting the 25% if that could be regarded as a tribute build to the original builder...

Yes I agree with V-P.

Thank you very kindly.

 

It was mostly built and painted by the late modeller but was damaged when I received it with some missing bits (sourced via britmodeller :like:!)

 

I'm planning to rebuild it with some etch, new tracks as the originals had perished, and a few tweaks here and there.

 

Not sure I'll get time to do it for the gb but if I finish my planned build I'll give it a go.

 

All the best

Wow great progress, I do like that the Tamiya kits go together so easily. Looking forward to seeing which way you go with the “How to paint your wheels quiz” 🙂 just finished sanding mine  but haven’t decided how to paint, either separately or on the hull.

Hi Steve,

 

It's Tamiya XF-60, with a few drops of Ultimate Thinner.  I've only just started the Ultimate Thinner, but it seems to slow down the drying time and you get a smoother finish. (Caveat - if you use too much thinner then it's like water, it just runs).

 

Dave.
