discussion Tamiya SAS jeep 1/35

[yak face]

Hi all , bit of a stranger round these parts ( armour / vehicles ) but here we go . The Tamiya SAS jeep will be nothing new to loads of you , being in production forever but its something I always liked the look of so decided to jump in feet first . When I had a good look at the sprues I was surprised the figures were a bit poor ( especially as this is a very early boxing so the moulds should have still been sharp )
Apart from the soft details they look like identical twins , so I got some resin replacements which are a lot better and come with four different heads to give a bit of choice. I started with the chassis and body and gave most of the sprues a quick prime too .

Great kit..... Must done it four times and still got one in the stash...... No two have looked the same cos the kit has so much potential

Have fun

After reading up a bit on these I found out they were delivered from the factory in standard olive drab and were hand painted in the sand colour by the soldiers , so thats what im going to do too. Most of the parts have had a coat of olive drab and I think I'm going to brush paint the sand .
