Dermo245 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Hi all, I don't normally build AFVs but gave this one a go for the Ground Attack GB here on the forum. The build thread is here but to recap: Kit: Trumpeter 07221 AS-90 SPG Scale: 1/72 Build: Out of box Paints: Halfords plastic primer, Tamiya & Revell acrylics, Klear, Flory Models Wash, Oils, W&N Matt Varnish Extras: Value Gear Details stowage bits donated by good friend Pat. It's a super little kit packed with detail and I think the stowage really helps bring it to life. The only downside are the individual link tracks made out of some kind of soft plastic - there's not enough of them to make up two full tracks so there are gaps hidden by the side skirts. But had lots of fun and great to try out new genres that aren't planes or rotors. 1_72_Trumpeter_AS-90_Done_ (9) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 1_72_Trumpeter_AS-90_Done_ (14) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 1_72_Trumpeter_AS-90_Done_ (13) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 1_72_Trumpeter_AS-90_Done_ (8) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 1_72_Trumpeter_AS-90_Done_ (12) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr 1_72_Trumpeter_AS-90_Done_ (10) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Thanks for looking and happy modelling.

sardaukar Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Very nice job, also this will teach me to actually read a group build's rules, I just assumed it was all ground attack aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45DegreesModelling Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I didn’t realise how small it was until it was next to the paint pots. Kudos for the level of detail, great build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondrome Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 It's always good to put the Tamiya bottle near a 1/72 for scale awareness , great job on your model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
