king derelict Posted November 16, 2021 #1 Posted November 16, 2021 I can't leave those Emhar boxes alone. While the parts were printing and the epoxy was drying for the corvette and the paint was drying on the Mark IV I took a peek in the Emhar Whippet box, I'm not sure if this is a later Emhar offering but the detail seems a bit better and the parts come sealed in a plastic bag with the instructions and decals. The instructions are simple but there are only about twenty parts For the Whippet a better attempt has been made on the Hodgekiss machine guns compared to the thick rods that represented the Lewis guns on the Mark IV. The tracks and running gear is a single moulding with a back side that closes it up. The fit is good; all the parts went together nicely once the sprue locations were cleaned up. So that's all the parts from the sprues used up And shortly afterwards its all together And off to be painted with black primer in the morning.

Thank you for the great photo OC. The Bovington Whippet is one of the decal options in the kit. There are eight options. Five British, one German, one Soviet and one Japanese. The Bovington Whippet is the one Lieutenant Sewell was commanding when he won his VC. I read this snippet regarding the Whippets in action at Amiens. During this battle, one Whippet – Musical Box – advanced so far it was cut off behind German lines. For nine hours it roamed at will, destroying an artillery battery, an observation balloon, the camp of an infantry battalion and a transport column of the German 225th Division, inflicting many casualties. At one point, cans of petrol being carried on Musical Box's roof were ruptured by small-arms fire and fuel leaked into the cabin; the crew had to don gas masks to survive the fumes. Eventually, a German shell disabled it and as the crew abandoned the tank, one of them was shot and killed and the other two were taken prisoner.

king derelict Posted November 17, 2021 Author #8 Posted November 17, 2021 The Whippet got its black primer coat and it looks like the small amount of filler on a couple of the seams was enough The machine guns might be a bit overscale but I think they will be better than home built ones I learnt today that the horizontal bars extending out of the front and rear hull are to allow canvas mudguards to be installed.

king derelict Posted November 19, 2021 Author #9 Posted November 19, 2021 Most of the day was spent down the rabbit hole of 3D printing but I did manage to get a coat of olive drab on teh Whippet. i tried for thin coats to try to let the black primer shade some of the panel lines and angles. It seems moderately successful Thanks for looking Alan Egilman, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 9 others 12 Quote

Its interesting to see the canvas mudguards in place. That would be a really nice scene to try to model with the figures and the turret door open.

king derelict Posted November 23, 2021 Author #14 Posted November 23, 2021 Not a lot of progress here; most of the effort has been with the 3D printer.

king derelict Posted November 25, 2021 Author #18 Posted November 25, 2021 The Whippet has been duly dirtied up after adding a small amount of rust around the corners that might get banged. I was having trouble with the air brush so I may have gone a bit too far in places but overall, it's generated a dusty tank and toned down the marking nicely Some detail painting and the matt coat will finish this nice little build Thanks for looking Alan Jack12477, Old Collingwood, bruce d and 8 others 11 Quote

king derelict Posted November 27, 2021 Author #21 Posted November 27, 2021 I painted the matt varnish onto the Whippet and then touched up the rusty exhausts and the machine guns which had been dulled down too much by the dust layer. I think that finishes this one. I would like to get another kit and attempt a diorama based on the photo that Bruce provided. I think it would make an interesting scene.

lmagna Posted November 27, 2021 #23 Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Very nicely done Alan. I do have one question though. I thought that the flat panel to the right of the forward gun was the drivers viewport. Wouldn't that be clear? Or did they have a steel cover that could be dropped into place and just used the tiny gun viewing slits for navigation?

Thanks for the kind comments, Lou It's not really visible in my photos of the model but you can see it in OCs photo of the real thing. There is a metal flap that hinges down leaving a slit for the driver to see through. I hadn't realised how limited visibility was in a locked down tank even relatively recently. I was reading about the Glosters at the Imjin. They were supported by a couple of Centurions which were operating with all hatches closed and they managed to get themselves stuck in ditches and the like a few times because they couldn't see well enough to avoid them Alan Egilman, EricWilliamMarshall, Edwardkenway and 4 others 6 1 Quote
