kpnuts Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted April 5, 2022 Hi all well I've made a start. For a Tamiya kit there are some horrid seams on the front end. I've not glued anything in the front yet, this is just for a look see I've masked the inside of the tank and tried to show some fuel in there. popeye the sailor, king derelict, Old Collingwood and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted April 5, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2022 I must confess I'm surprised that the tank is clear plastic. I'm assuming the real ones were that way also and there was no fuel bladder?

kpnuts Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share #10 Posted April 8, 2022 Hi all added battery cables and starter motor cables. I've got to say I'm super happy with the metal effects on this. The casings would be made of magnesium and I've worked up close and personal on hundreds of these and I don't think I could get more realistic results, I tried a different approach, normally I use ABT engine grease thinned down to a wash but I didn't want to disturb the mig steel colour I had used which I know white spirit based wash would so I tried a wash of vallejo engine grey over it. I'm loving the result, I can see me using this again. Canute, Old Collingwood, Ryland Craze and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share #13 Posted April 10, 2022 Did some work on the fuel pump, Tamiya would have you use plastic tube for the fuel lines whereas they are metal on the real thing. Since I've used artistic licence already and depicted gold plated nuts and bolts I decided to depict gold plated fuel lines too.
