Hairtrigger Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Greetings folks, A quick Xmas build, this really needs to be in a muddy diaorama.. The tracks on the pics show up cleaner than they actually are. Something a bit different for me if doing armour rather do in 1:35, but this although an old kit is very satisfying to build. I had a go at a simple tarp and added it last night - tissue and cotton thread. Hope you like it anyway. 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Homer. I never did this model back in the day, it was usually Panthers, Sherman's and Tigers at this scale... Ooh those fiddly pesky wheels .. Think though will have to do the female version in the future. All the best Homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 This brings back memories. I built this at about age 9 and fought it against a Sherman and a Tiger. I had no idea there had been two wars. Lol Nicely finished model. Thankyou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete F Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Excellent job - one of my favourites as a kid. It always had to be accompanied by WW1 British infantry - especially those two with the hula hoops. Here's a thought. This model was released in 1967 and depicts a 1916 tank. That is a gap of 51 years. The Airfix model is now around 54 years old. So the model is closer in time to the original tank than we are to the model. Makes me feel old.
