The Little Armour GB chat thread.

The PSC universal carriers make up well, and are a really quick build...no decals though.....I made some last year as supports for my British Chain of Command platoon.....

[Guest]

I’ve got a platoon of them too, but the ones I have left, I intend to convert to Bren Carriers and Scout Carriers in Western Desert Force colours (Caunter scheme), both of which take them out of the “quick and fun” category of this group build I think it’ll be the M24 for me.

Nice choice you don’t see many of them build in 1/72 anymore I’m sure you will make it look incredible and there’s a lot of aftermarket stuff for it as well including Tracks. just have fun with it.

[Guest]

Do you mean for the M24 or the Carriers? The M24 will be straight from the box, I think, unless I can find some interesting version of it that needs more work.

I’ve decided — it’s going to be this one:

An Italeri M113 ACAV that I knew I had, but I thought the model had already been built and the box was in the stash because it had spares in it or something. Turns out that it was unopened, to the extent that the stickers were still over the lids

Great choice I’ve never seen that one looks verly detailed

[Guest]

I’ve built one before (I thought the box of this one, was of that ), but it was 15+ years ago and don’t really remember the quality of the kit. It looks decent enough though, with good link-and-length tracks. Now to decide what to do with it.

Whilst I was looking in the stash ( still can't find what I'm looking for! ) In a box with several half finished 1/72 tanks ( nothing spectacular ) I came across this............. [ATTACH]325892[/ATTACH]
I can remember making the Mirage 1/35 version of this, but have no recollection of where this came from! On looking at the sprues, I find a compulsion to actually have a go at this ( after finishing my Leopard, oh - and my Expeditor ). It has a lot of parts, a tiny fret of PE, a little resin part that I can't identify yet, and a set of vinyl tracks. As usual, with my smaller stashed models, the box has been flattened, but the plastic bags are still sealed

Hi - hopefully it's not too late to join the GB

Picked this up for a fiver yesterday at the Model Show at Bovington Tank Museum - never built an "ACE" kit before so it could be interesting....



Dolly Parton ?????

Ah, you’ll be in for a treat … if you like small parts, especially fragile small parts At least this one has plastic tracks instead of etched brass ones.

Dolly Parton ?????

Super Dolly Parton, even.

When a new model of T-72 fitted with an uparmoured turret was spotted by American intelligence in the 1980s, they likened it to Dolly Parton, due to its appearance compared to the previous models. A later version that added even more turret armour then became the “Super Dolly Parton” variant.

Already discovered that there are 70+ ERA block units to add to the hull, skirts and turret....

Link & Length tracks and individual smoke discharger barrels
