Jb65rams Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 My first entry is the M19 45 Ton Tank Transporter. Every tank transporter needs a tank to transport, I propose to build Revell's reboxing of the M24 Chaffee as part of this WIP. (Hope thats ok?) 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Two (or is that three) great choices there JB. This transporter just cries out for an additional Tank so the Matchbox / Revell Chaffee is a perfect fit. I've been toying with the idea of building a Tank, and the M24 is one up there on my list. This should be a great WIP to watch. Cheers, welcome aboard and best of luck.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul821 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 It's my intention to join in with another transporter, but I have seven other builds to complete before starting, so I will be watching your build while I wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Two nice kits, built them both, have another Chaffee to build, wouldn't mind an M-19 too 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Sprue shot. If you like painting wheels, this is a kit for you.l; 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nice sprue shots JB, this double WIP is gonna be excellent. I really like that Chaffee! Cheers.. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Made a start, spent a couple of enjoyable hours on Saturday cutting and gluing. Before I long I had achieved this. I am going to paint as sub-assemblies before final assembly. Also need to sort out a windscreen for the truck, might try Glue'n'Glaze but think the openings may be a bit on the large size. As everything is basically going to be Olive Drab, i started on the Chaffee as well. Added some weights into the body of the tank, as I like my armour to have bit of weight to them, also think it helps it sit better when using rubber band tracks. I notice from the photos that there a few gaps that need filling. SO that will be the next job, before priming. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 That does seem like a good few enjoyable hours of modelling. Nice bit of progress going on there, well done. Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Some progress to report, been busy with the Olive Drab. Really enjoying this build. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This looks good and they are going together well. The two crew members look like they are dancing in those poses!!! Great work Chris 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 On the home straight. Next up decals, hoping they are usable. Will practice with the unwed scheme first. Started work on bases, also found some suitable stowage for the back of the truck. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Wow JB.. they are all coming along quite smartly and quite quickly. Every piece looks great and the three make a lovely set. You may have inspired others with this choice of combination! Cheers.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Chaffee finished. Work continues on the truck. Used Deluxe Glue’n’Glaze to add the windscreen. Brought everything together to produce this. Going to call this finished. Thorough enjoyed these build. Something to be said for a nice simple kit. Next up a bit of work on my F/A-18 STBG entry before starting on my two Matchbox Helldivers. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Those are great. Matchbox certainly knew how to give good value for money. I like both types of payload for the transporter. Cheers, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just caught up with this one. Great job on both models, they go together well. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 A beautiful set of Matchbox builds JB, now please do me a favour - make sure you ditch that cutting mat when its time for those Gallery photos. These kits are too good to have them displayed with that ugly backdrop. Cheers and very well modelled.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Gallery updated. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Superb, congratulations on finishing both of these. They look the business. Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 This set has really turned out beautifully and it has motivated me to try to obtain both kits to (let's just say) follow your lead - 'copy' is too harsh a word. Cheers and thanks for the wonderful inspiration.. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
