Geo1966 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Like many on here, i have returned to the hobby after a long break. Put it this way, some of the tamiya paint i have used is nearly 40 years old! This is my first Bronco model and although it is well detailed, most of it is on the interior so a bit of a waste of time. Also the mountings for the wheels were a nightmare and quite flimsy. 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Brilliant work, excellent paintwork, weathering and chipping. Great work with the figure and the tied down and tarped stowage. Welcome to the AFV section too. Cheers Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 You certainly didn't pick and easy one for your first model back in the hobby. But, you've done it justice. I especially like the tarp on the back. Nice work. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsman Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm liking that. A lot. Understated but very effective. If you can apply "cute" to an armoured car, the little Humber is it. Someone does a sitting commander figure for this kit very obviously copied from Michael Caine as JOE Vandeleur in "A Bridge Too Far"......... The early IDF had a single Humber, along with a single Morris LRC, which I quite fancy doing. IMO my rose-tinted rear-view window says that the Tamiya paint of that period was very much better than that of today. I can't work with the current stuff by brush or airbrush: paint of last resort. But maybe squinting through my hindsight window keeps distracting me from watching what's in front of me......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Excellent work indeed. My one suggestion would be dealing with the seam line on the chap's left arm, which slightly spoils the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo1966 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Thank you all for your kind words. I think i thought the seam line on the chaps arm was a crease Ian, i.e. it was supposed to be there 😂 George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spfparker Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 J ust building this - Agree the front wheel mountings are flimsy - Cheated (and not even slightly) by drilling and using a steel pin through as an axle. Haven't worked out how to attach the wheels but will find a way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Really nice that. Do the instructions tell you what unit it was, having read "The Black Bull" I'm an 11th Armoured Div fan boy & would be keen to know. That really is a nice build. Steve.

Geo1966 Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi Steve, it says in the instructions it is from RHQ, 3 RTR, 29 Armd Brig, 11 Armd Div. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
