PF Naughton Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hi, Your build looks great. I really enjoy seeing some of these lesser known vehicles (especially the inter-war stuff). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Oh boy! You've excelled yourself there Cesar. That's an excellent rendition of a Vickers Medium tank. The paintwork and weathering are first class. Nice one. Hope you had a nice Christmas Cesar, and a Happy New Year to you. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Robin Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Gotta admit I had never seen or heard of this beastie. You can sorta see how it would be the progenitor of machines that came later tho. Super smart modelling. The paint effects really give it a sense of heavy use without going over the top. Thanks for sharing. Regards, Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Burrell Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I like it, I’ve made the same kit and time period myself. But your weathering is far better than mine, nice one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Simon, the parts are excellent, well molded, have a perfect fit, and this all makes for an easy and quick assembly but, as always, the boring and tiring work is to assemble and adjust the suspension, wheels and links. So, I just needed to make a few improvements in the kit, like a turned aluminum barrel, commander and driver station additions, exhaust and brackets improvements, a metal cable (omiteted by Hobby Boss), glasses for front lights and I added the aiming device for the main gun (omitted by manufacturer too). Finally, I replaced the front piece number A18 by an aluminum foil. Cheers Cesar 11 hours ago, Milan Mynar said: Nicely done, especially paintwork and weathering.

FrancisGL Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Hi Cesar, A very good job as always, with a marked weathering. A rarely seen and unusual vehicle, perhaps because it is not the most graceful tank, but it has the charm of interwar machines, which are a speculation of what the future will be. Cheers, TC, MC and HNY. Francis.🎅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the interwar tanks are very interesting Tomorrow I will travel to Austria, but it is not possible to go to Spain. Cheers from Brazil and HNY 3 hours ago, IanC said: Fantastic!

Around here, at least in my city, it seems like a cool spring... around 20 degrees... climate change?... Cheers 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 You say "ancient desert warrior". There were a few Medium MkIIs in Egypt before WW2, some in zany colours and at least 1 covered in asbestos panels. None of them was green. What was your thinking on the colour and the complete lack of markings? BTW the Vickers MG in the turret front was co-axial with the 3pdr - a world first - and so would be at the same elevation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model Mate Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Absolutely sublime weathering - really good! I’ve got one of these to do and have been looking forward to it - it’s unlikely I’ll get it to look as good as yours though. Very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim_Thessalonica Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Remarkable weathering! Very realistic! Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
