discussion Mirage Hobby - 1:35 Vickers-Armstrong 6-Ton Light Tank - Complete

Hi

finally dusted & rusted! Tracks turned out to be pretty fragile so some CA glue required to keep them in place. Not happy with the lights but no time to sort them now.

Hi Mark,
Good job with build and paintwork:thumb2:

Looking very nice.

I find an effective and easy way to make lights seem more realistic is to paint the bottom part with thinned white paint, so the silver shines through a bit.

Looks good Mark. :thumb2:

That came out rather nice.

Thanks Guys,

I realise it isn't entirely historically accurate but a little poetic licence here and there is no bad thing!

Historical accuracy isn't important if you are having fun. Looks like this was a very enjoyable build for you. I certainly enjoyed watching it come together. Well done sir

So what's next on the bench Mark??

Thanks Steve

On the bench …

Rebuilding / rescuing a 1970's Airfix 1:72 scale C130 Hercules given to me by my father-in-law

Spot on job on paint work. I like a lot the camo pattern!
