paulyoung666 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Absolute bargain of a kit for around £10 , old as the hills but still plenty of detail. Primed in hull red , chipping fluid and light green over , then rubbed back for simulated wear , nothing much else apart from the usual , 0.5mm wire for the aerials , far better than the silly stubby plastic ones !!! 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansReggelsen Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Looks great! Just the right amount of weathering! And it's not every day you see one in japanese markings! All you need now is a 1/35 1960'es Godzilla as target practice! Cheers Hans J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Great build and finish. It's still a very nice kit despite its age and i've built a couple over the years 👍 Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Good job. Your chipping work is very good and the restrained weathering works well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi pauliyoung666, Very well finished, and with Japanese markings, something not so seen. I remember that I also made one of these many years ago, although it uses markings...I would have liked it to look at least like yours...but it was another time in modeling...lol Cheers and TC Francis,👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Very nice M41, and a bit of a favourite for me. I really like the finish you have achieved. What green did you use overall? I have one of these plus the AFV club version in build at present. The AFV club has the edge in detail etc but this old Tamiya kit is still a great kit as you say. I did this one a few years ago, from an AA conversion of the Skybow release Thanks for sharing. Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
