bissyboat Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 A must have classic tank kit. Big and robust and with a decent figure to play the part of the commander gesturing radio communication. I added stowage to the build and some gubbins for the turret. Rolled up tarp. Bags and backpacks. Model was brush painted and weathered with oils and Pigma Micron pens. 35 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Very nice work on the old kit. Top painting and I like the very gentle weathering. Nice one.👍👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Really nice, the stowage items look spot on. It's nice to see a build that hasn't been over weathered. Spot on. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeff Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Very nice! Subtle weathering and the additional stowage adds the realism. Keith 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hi bissyboat, A real classic/oldie/goldie...lol, a vehicle that I really like. The result, despite not having used AB, is very good. I really liked everything added as equipment, if anything, some rope or cable above would have been fine. The only thing I don't like so much is the last figure next to the tank, which is not up to it. Cheers Francis.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Nice job, but the crew are going to be missing a load of stowage once they've been over some rough terrain. John. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Robin Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Really looks the business. Not so sure about the figure's wearing webbing. I aren't 95% sure, but most tankies wouldn't wear that kit as it has a chance of catching on everything if you are trying to get out in a hurry. If I remember rightly, they wore overalls. But hey, I likely to be wrong and it's YOUR model. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s done in keeping with the old school look on classic 70s Tamiya builds. ⚓🍷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tank commander is a little outdated, but those stocky figures are classic Tamiya royalty. ⚓😙 Edited March 21, 2023 by bissyboat threads merged 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall with just belt around the waist might have been better suited for the commander. ⚓😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairtrigger Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Excellent work and good photos. The scoped K98 though ? Has one of the crew been trying to take a deer with his personal rifle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
