    Final painting and assembly of the tank Here is my finished version I chose the desert version, hence the two tyres hanging from the turret My disappointment with this kit continued as several of the decals disintegrated which meant a compromise on some of the emblems on the turret but...

    Gecko Models 1/35 Cruiser Tank A10 Mk 1A CS

    So firstly turret construction this needed clamping as it would not hold together properly but it came out right in the end had to use a load of filler again as they were gaps everywhere. I don’t know what other people are opinions are of gecko models but my first impression is not good. They...

    Main Body of Tank now finished and it’s been given its final topcoat. I don’t think I’ve missed anything. All I got left to do now is the turret assembly which looks to be a kit on its own anyway here are the pictures of the completed tank body

    Gecko Models 1/35 Cruiser Tank A10 Mk 1A CS

    So the tracks are finished at last they may not look how they should do but there is best of what I can come up with they should look okay plus the fact you won’t see most of it as it will be hidden by a skirts to go on the sides for anyone contemplating on doing this model there are...

    Gecko Models 1/35 Cruiser Tank A10 Mk 1A CS

    So 1st off apologies for the lack of updates. This is due to the construction which is turned out to be a real tour de force and I’m still only halfway through it now so what have we done? First off, I’ve now added the wheels to the main body and given it a coat of paint to see what the finish...

    Gecko Models 1/35 Cruiser Tank A10 Mk 1A CS

    Well so far I’m not impressed with this. there are imprecise lugs for attaching pieces too which need you to drill them out Gaps everywhere and the instructions are not that great either in showing where pieces actually go thankfully most of the interior will be hidden from view once the outer...

    1/35 Meng WWI MkV Female Heavy Tank

    Adding the Tracks & Finishing So it’s my least favourite part of the build which is making up tracks as I don’t have a lot of success with my track building. I seem to be unable to enable them to stay in one piece before I get them around the designated area of the model as with the case with...
