f matthews Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Now finished is the first of four Finnish Vickers 6 Tons I am building from Combat Armor Models. These are fantastic little kits, especially the new releases which have full interiors. This is the initial tank (VAE 546) ordered by the Finns from Vickers in 1934. This tank was later modified with a new turret and upgunned, which is my next project in the series. I will add a nameplate when it arrives, but this one’s complete otherwise. A photo of VAE 546 undergoing trials in Finland in 1934 which was the inspiration for this vignette: Edited October 29, 2021 by f matthews 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 You really managed to create a great model! All these small tanks have a kind of charm. And you are doing well to convey that charm. Really great job! Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Agree with Vytautas. Great little vignette and the light touch weathering is spot on. Nice one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 That's a model we don't often see. I like the way you have articulated the suspension. Excellent work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
