discussion Papa695s Emhar 1/35 MkIV Male Tank

[Mr Bowcat]

Coming along nicely Ian, I like the idea.

 

[papa 695]

I can echo Jakko, about the tracks - even on a complete model they're rubbish - how are you going to show the wrecked ones?
Dave

Not sure yet Dave, it all depends on how much I can work them. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

 

[papa 695]

Made a start on the engine, still some pipe work and other bit’s and bob’s to fit.

Nice work on the motor Ian. I was surprised how cramped they were inside when I walked through the ones at Bovington .

Cheers Tim, I've never been there, but it is on my to do list.

Coming on very nicely Ian!

 

[papa 695]

I’ve got the engine painted, just needs dirtying up a little, also I’m going to change the exhaust stacks, the others were too big.

Interesting work here Ian. Developing nicely.

 

[Graeme C.]

Just found this Ian, quite a project, I'll follow along.

Done a little more work to this, and I do mean a little. I think I’m going to have to use the kit tracks. I can’t seem to find any after market set that are available.

Ian,
pity about the tracks - I'm sure that Emhar would sell more of these, if only they did something about those rubber monstrosities!
Dave

 

[Mini Me]

Tracks aside, you have done a great job with the "knackery" on this beast......I ran into the same problem with the tracks on my SU-100 models..........just muddied 'em up as best I could and called it a day.

 

[adt70hk]

Ian

Sorry got behind on this. That's coming on very nicely, although as you say, a shame about the tracks.

Yours

Andrew

 

[JMARC]

Just stumble on your post .. pretty neat project you got there.. of course I'll be here watching you next move ... Go,go,goooo !

 

[Airborne01]

Have you considered obtaining a set of Tamiya tracks mate - no idea what the cost might be mind you!
Steve

Coming on well mate the engine will fill the space nicely.
