discussion papa 695s 1/35 AFV Club Scimitar

[papa 695]

This is my build for Ron’s Reconnaissance GB.

And as you can see I’ve got some goodies for it.
I’ve really been looking forward to this GB.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Looks nice Ian. Good luck with the build.

Interesting choice Ian. Lots of Scorpion photos in my Tanks Trucks & Firepower thread, and many more not yet uploaded, so ask if there's anything you need a photo of.

Thanks Peter I will give you a shout if I need too.

Very nice looking kit Ian, It's small but being an AFV kit you'd still be busy with the number of parts especially the workable tracks.

Cheers,
Richard

Look forward to seeing this one come together

Morning Ian,

although generally nice kits I found that the Scorpion was lacking a lot of detail and the engine deck grille slats sloped the wrong way



Scorpion walk around

Oh goody, I've been looking at building a Scorpion for the animal antics GB (straight from the box though probably), so I should get an idea of what to expect by riding along with this.

 

[papa 695]

Made a start on this one. Got the lower part of the lower hull built and the road wheels, idlers and sprockets put together.

 

[papa 695]

Got some more done, ready for putting the PE on now.

Worked on these for many years so watching with interest. It's bringing back many fond memories.

 

[papa 695]

Spent a nice relaxing few hours putting some PE on.

 

[Guest]

Hi Ian coming to gether nicely, just one thing there's no such thing as relaxing time doing PE :smiling5: .
Keep up the good work.
Pete.

 

[papa 695]

Slowly plodding along with this one,

 

[scottie3158]

Lovely detailing work mate.

 

[SimonT]

Ian, don’t forget that all those holes etched into the brass bins should actually be raised rivet heads

 

[Graeme C.]

Ian, the extra detail & brass work is looking really good, built one out of the box a couple of years ago, it's a nice little tank to build.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Great PE work mate, looking good.

 

[papa 695]

Thanks guys, nearly ready to put some paint on it now.
