GTX Boxer and 2 MAN trucks by Baker - FINISHED - Revell - 1/72

[Baker]

Next builds, 3 kits from Revell. They will all have the same camouflage scheme

GTX Boxer GTFz A1

7 ton MAN 6X6 truck

10 ton MAN 8X8 truck

 

Revell kits at this scale are well detailed, with clear instructions and very well cast for a very good price.

So the instructions are very good, but I never follow them. After years you have your own method of building.

Building the Boxer went without any problems.

The Leopard 2 is not a dangerous weapon of war, but a friendly waitress in disguise

Thanks all for the comments 👍

Long tima ago, when I only made military models, and almost no new models came out for a while.
I sometimes made a batch of a whole series of scratch models.
Not 3 or 4 or.. at the same time, but sometimes more than 10 
Some pictures of Hotchkiss, Renault and German converted Somua half tracks.

And the chassis of the 6 X 6 is ready

The 6 X 6 chassis deserves some better pictures.

And the Boxer is painted in the standard NATO colors (Tamiya)

Hi Patrick, I am amazed by your collection of vehicles. Another thing that amazes me is the finish you get using Tamiya paints by brush.

Tagging along,

Dan

thanks,
I've already had the idea of buying an airbrush. This gives better results.

But when I started this hobby in the 80's an airbrush was quite a big investment for me.
plus that all my military models are built on the kitchen table is also a minus. I can't see myself spraying paint in the same room where we cook and eat.

 

In addition, I'm phasing out my military models (I have a dozen more to build, and that's it)
So no need for an airbrush anymore.

 

[Baker]

The models are almost ready for the final assembly and weathrering.

[Baker]

The 3 models are ready.

These are all made "out of the box" As mentioned earlier, these Revell models are quite nice without extra detailing.

Nicely done Patrick, very cool trio.  Lot of wheels to paint!  What's next?
