oh lol,


it is a shame some times to do that when things look so good,


best of luck,

Nice work Ian, almost a shame to damage it but the end product will be worth it.

Yes all for a good cause Joe

Well as with all Armoured vehicles it's road wheel time.


Here they are all nice and fresh off the sprue

And here they are after a couple of hours sanding them down. ( think I went a little too far on some )

Nice to have you aboard John


Glad your liking it so far

I have this kit in the stash, has vinyl tracks, but they can be tamed, was going to be my next Soviet Steamroller but is very similar to T55 so I'll do something else. I did a wrecked T62 in my dio. "Sent To Paradise" but I won't post a pic, some may consider it "high-jacking" OOPS, maybe I shouldn't have even mentioned the dio.....Great choice, I'm sure you'll do her proud.....Jim

Thanks Jim


I wouldn't mind if you posted a picture of your build, it may just give me inspiration Jim. But I will look for it in the completed builds section

With the Gloster Meteor on hold ( awaiting some paint ). I thought I'd get some more work done on this one seems I'm late

I've cut the front box off and put a base on it, going to show it partly open and blown away from the sill

Cheers Joe didn't know if I'd gone too far or not enough damage

 

[papa 695]

Changed my mind on this one so I've made more damage to Tank. Cut the front mudguard off also trying to make it look like the small fuel can on the side as exploded with the heat of the burning Tank
