1/35 Tamiya Matilda


Recommended Posts

As the T-20 moves on to ind-link tracks and then painting it's time for a little light relief. Going to build the venerable Tamiya Mstilda MkIII/IV - Going for Defiance markings but with caunter scheme from AK Interactive. OOB apart from replacing the cylindrical oil drum with a flimsie carrier and flimsies

do you need to zoom in on the box lid 😉 and cos thats how it goes when I copy & paste off flikr and not bothering to edit ... will do better next time (and build images will allow zoom)

Very nice start Rob, I'll take a seat and watch you preform your magic if you don't mind?

course not, but "magic" is a tad optimistic.... the masking is going to be painful on this... going to build & paint the lower half then add the upper and mask the little part of track & wheels visible below the side armour

bit more shaking... loving how well this is going together (3rd tamiya and think I will get a few more (nice to have a break from "newer" companies where sometimes the instructions/fit isn't the best). Upper hull just placed for now - will add once running gear painted up I think. Blocked off the mounting holes for the rear tank as that will have a flimsie carrier and deliberately left 1 lot of the spare tracks (were these really painted in the camouflage colour as per the box art?

 

anyway, I think the end of the week will see me back on indi-tracks and then painting of the t-20 but this is such a relaxing build (pity I want to stress myself with the caunter scheme ;-))

Which is easier track bashing or painting though?

 

  Roger

ha... actually i don't mind indi-link (Dragon especially)- i just need music and to be in the mood. The pain with the T-20 is their size (and the fact I need to take them off the sprue. At somepoint I would love to try metal tracks but they always seem expensive....
