BeltArmor Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hello everyone i have had my eye on the SOMUA Tank for a while and finally bought it i also got Tamiya's French R35 and their new Panzer IV Ausf G while i was at it. Starting on the hull as always everything fits perfectly This is so far a lot of fun to build it will be interesting to see how the paint job goes on this one lol it will be a challenge but a colourful tank.

Stef N. Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I like these French tanks. They have interesting camo patterns that look a bit tricky but fun to try. Good luck with your build.👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Steve Hi Steve your model is coming along nicely i think i will try a combination of masking putty and masking tape i might try the scheme with the turret camo is different to the Hull Lee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeltArmor Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Back with a quick update but took me the best part of an evening to do and the tracks are a click together type that work but after i fitted them to the running gear i used Tamiya extra thin to glue them to the road wheels , return rollers , drive sprocket and idler wheel i also set the slight amount of sag on the top run and ran extra thin over every link to lock it all in place as i really don't want it to move. I will need to airbrush in every nook and cranny now as the way i glued everything together i didn't want to be gluing this lot after paint The rest of the build should go quickly now so back soon fellas Cheers Lee 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Aye up Lee, Nice work on the tracks and will probably do the same as you with the extra thin 👍 Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
