Hobbyboss Vickers medium tank MkII 1/35

[Model Mate]

Hello everyone. Here's my most recent completion - a Vickers medium tank in 1/35 from Hobbyboss. 

 

A nice kit, but not without a few issues. The tracks, although separate links, were horrible due to rather nasty plastic, and this necessitated them being installed before painting. I'd normally fit them after the main paintjob, but to be honest, painting them in-situ was fine after all. There were a few errors and omissions in the instructions, but fairly easy to spot and overcome. Detail is pretty good for the rest of the vehicle, and the plastic is nice and hard, but I'm sure there could have been better ways to engineer the kit. 

 

It came with no interior, but being a simple open box, scratchbuilding one was pretty straightforward.

 

It was painted with Tamiya acylics (custom colour mix) and weathered with oils and pastels.

Wow! What a great job you've done there Mate. The paint job, the weathering, everything about it is first class. Nice work.
