Keeff Posted April 13, 2024 Posted April 13, 2024 (edited) Started in December last year (sooo long ago! 🙄), this project has now rolled off the line ... It's my first Takom kit and proved to be an enjoyable build. I've added extra detail to the engine ... fuel lines and wiring along with the usual wathering. Painted with Vallejo and Ammo acrylics, weathered using pastels, oils, environment 'mud' that has grass in it and enamel effects. This represents a vehicle of the 117th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, VI Corps in Germany during April 1945. So,on with the pictures .... Thanks for dropping by ... your comments and feedback are welcome! Keith 😁 Edited April 13, 2024 by Keeff Extra pics added 48 1

Jasper dog Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 Really nice job Keith. A couple of highlights for me has to be the finish achieved on the seats and exhaust, amongst others, smashing job! Great modelling! Darryl 1

Model Mate Posted April 17, 2024 Posted April 17, 2024 Really lovely! I know it's big, but the detail you've added is magnificent. I particularly like the canvas seats - they look utterly realistic. 1

edjbartos Posted April 24, 2024 Posted April 24, 2024 That looks fabulous Keith, the engine looks great but the underside looks fantastic, I love the way that you have painted and weathered this, great work... Ed 1
FrancisGL Posted April 25, 2024 Posted April 25, 2024 Hi Keith, A magnificent construction, that scale allows you to show off your skills, since there is a multitude of details and the heel is a help. I love the engine and the seats, which feel very real and "comfortable"...😁 Cheers Francis👍 1
