SoftScience Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Here is the last of my recently finished armor models. I don't know why we don't see this kit built more often, as it was a blast to work on. The only part I disliked were the "working" tracks. I found them fragile and they broke several times during construction. Fixing was a pain as pinning one end often caused a break elsewhere on the run. My only additions to the kit were the tissue tarps and Tamiya tape, which was used to augment the leather belt harnesses on the side stowage bins. The belts now actually loop around the rods over and under the bins. Painting was done with Tamiya colors. The slightly different shades on the turret and hull are intentional, and are supposed to represent the French army's use of different factories to build different components of their tanks, in the late 1930s. Weathering is a mix of heavy umber and black oil washes, some very light dry-brusghing, dark brown paint "chipping" and scratching and some light pigment work. Of the batch of recent tanks that I posted. I think I like this one the best. 26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Excellent work. Subtle differences between hull and turret are good talking points. Chipping very effective; tissue tarps a treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi SoftScience, An interesting vehicle, rarely seen. I think it's a bit expensive, maybe it's for that reason... I really like the typical thick and heavy chain of the French tanks of the time, which I don't know if it is included in the kit. Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
