Robthepom Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 thanks for watching, did a foam base, the tank should really be blended into the base, maybe later (maybe not) Phantom2, LSP_K2, ringleheim and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the detail on the unditching beam in particular, but the whole thing is nice. Makes me want to get one of these and start an attack across the living room carpet. One thing I have noticed in videos of this model in operation is that Tamiya did a pretty solid job of trying to capture scale speed with their choice of gearing. It moves pretty slowly which is important to me; makes it more realistic. Thanks for the nice comments, the engineering for the motorisation is excellent, the gearing is perfect, the model even climbs and goes over obstacles. Great fun and very reasonably priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 i will say wow to two things 1 the final tank looks fantastic, you should not feel your freehand airbrushing is in any way inadequate and 2 your paint booth looks like the inside of a coal bunker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Very nice. I certainly do like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett M Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Very nice work on this one. The camouflage turned out great to me (I wouldn't have guessed this was your first go with a airbrush, based on my first time lol) I've had my eye on WW1 tanks for a while (I have an FT-17 in the stash) but you're pushing me to one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
