Well I haven't posted any builds on here for a while, so here goes with this one.

View attachment 84922


It looks a really nice kit, several sprues sealed in bags, good looking detailing.

Here's where I am so far, got the lower hull primed, and Interior colour down. I only did a light spraying of the interior white, to allow the primer to show through for a worn/highlighted look, it doesn't really show in the pics. Also got half the track guide wheels/suspension units assembled, 9 parts for each unit!!!!

All comments and advice welcome,

Cheers, Andrew

Interesting project Andrew.

Also interesting about the primer. On the Merlin Helicopter I have just first coated over the primer and noticed the how the patchiness of the first coat gives an interesting finish.

That looks a nice kit Andrew. The open topped turret should give plenty of scope for added details.

I`m with Paul, I really like the Academy kits they build into hassle free builds, hope you don`t mind if I tag along Andrew;)

Hi Andrew does this kit have a fully detailed interior like the Tiger I built and the m3 I just ordered (they were both academy kits) only built 2 tanks, the Tiger and a Skoda, the Skoda was a Czech kit and did not have any internal detail, I found the internal detail one of the more enjoyable aspects as we all see the external of a tank. Will draw up a chair and watch with the rest.
