Tamiya 1/48 Austin "Tilly"


Recommended Posts

Completed. Straight out-of-the-box build. Don't like the transfers. The Divisional Insignia look too big and were a pig to work with even given a decent application of Micro Sol. One has a crease in it and I lost the black 2 to go on the yellow disk when the transfer disintegrated when trying to get it off the backing paper. All paint has been applied with traditional hairy stick techniques including dry brushing, damp brushing, wet blending and washes. A final coat of Windsor and Newton Acrylic Matt Varnish to seal.

As ever, when I look at the pictures I see some faults that I should have rectified. I haven't painted the windscreen wipers and there is a bash that has taken the paint off the rear hubcap in the photo above. Ah well it wasn't supposed to be one for the display cabinet and it is a wonderful little kit, the fit on the parts and the design of the construction is just exemplary.
