Stridsvagn m/40K..Swedish Light Tank, IBG Models, 1/72nd scale OOB...


Recommended Posts

The NATO Black looks very nice.  Could it be...that for this build I finally cracked the 'airbrush code'?  Thinner is better, more PSI and less trigger happy? 🤨

The turret swings.  I just positioned it for the photo effect.  Tomorrow will be decals, then some weathering.  I am not sure how much action these saw.  They only had 20 at the start of WW2.  They didn't go to Finland to fight the Soviets...I guess I'll give it some 'dust' and some 'smoke' staining.  I also have to attach the tools, etc...

Decals are on.  Not too difficult except for the fact that they are really, really tiny, individual numbers, etc...

 

Bit they look really good!

I think the '8' is upside down...

Weathering, etc...tomorrow it'll be in the gallery and I can work on something else.

gee she looks amazing, well done on producing a wee beauty!!! :thumbsup:

 

Glad you worked out the airbrush trick, in a lot of cases thinner is better, plus once you go really thin then you can start to drop the pressure for even more interesting results.

 

I has been a joy to watch this wee tank being built, glad you could join us with her, and guess what??? Still heaps of time to build more for this GB! :D
