Meng Merkava 3D 1/35

Built four years ago and sat on the shelf of doom after messing up a wash over the enamel paint, didn't seal it too well so it ended up I couldn't clean the excess off.

Thought lets have another go, respray over the worst areas,not one for splattering muck over everything as it's not going onto a diorama base.

First tank built and enjoyed the challenge, makes a change from shiny stuff

Thanks for looking

That looks good Colin and very well rescued from the shelf of doom. The weathering looks right to me, used but not abused. Top work.👏

Great work Colin. Don't know how it looked like before fixing, but now it really looks fantastic.

Hi Colin,

It is a nice rescue, from what you say, it sure was very damaged, although its appearance is now very good.
I think I have this kit in the stash, waiting for the "mojo" ... lol
I myself did something similar with the Tamiya MkI (in the forum, although this was from my first time as a modeler, and when I resumed the hobby, I wanted to try the new techniques, with an acceptable result.
Cheers and TC
Francis.👍

First tank you said? First class tank, say I. It looks really mean, and very realistic to me. Thanks.

For a first time - that's fantastic !

Do you mind me asking what base colour you used?

I think the weathering is spot on
