JeepsGunsTanks Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Dang, this is a cool build! Burma is really the forgotten zone of the war! Hell, in Burma, the M3 Lee and Grant were used until the end of the war. In jungle fighting, against purely infantry the Lee/Grant is arguably a better tank than the Sherman. The 37mm gun could sling canister at a very high rate. Very useful in close in fighting. I had no idea the RAF flew Jugs there.

Paramedic Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Wonderful Jug! Started my own yesterday (Brazilian one!) so this is a nice "reference". Lovely job, I like this RAF ones too! MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) And it's done. Actually, it was finished a while ago, but I haven't had the spare capacity to sort out posting the pics until now. I usually say at this point that I'll do the RFI shots shortly. What actually happens is that I write the model on a list headed "'Beauty shot' photos to do" which sits on a notice-board near my modelling bench. This will be number 6 (I think) on that list. Anyway, here you go. In the first pic, eagle-eyed readers may be able to tell what my next project will be. Any feedback, including constructive criticism, welcome. Thanks for looking.

nmayhew Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 these schemes look pretty good, even if they lack a lot of the glamour of the US NMF birds likes looks well put together camo job has some interest to it suggestions / personal preference it's waaay too clean for me i still consider myself a 'learner' where aircraft weathering is concerned, but i think you have a great canvas with these RAF Bolts and for me the overall effect looks rather plain given the lack of grime this could be where you could really go to town with oils, and the beauty of that medium is that if you f*ck it up, you just wipe clean with mineral spirits (assuming you haven't painted with enamels!) and start over - that's your "Ctrl+Z" ; and if you do some bits you really like, you just shoot some MRP semi gloss over the relevant area as a "Ctrl+S" anyway, I hope that is useful for either this or a future build thanks for sharing Nick MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
