RGL Posted August 9, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 9, 2023 So I thought I’d try and get a French vehicle done for my annual comp this year. Hobbyboss kit, plus a PE set and resin wheels. I’ve hoarded 4 Heller armor kits for next year which as rare as hens teeth so this will be the start. mtaylor, Old Collingwood, Egilman and 10 others 13 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share #2 Posted August 10, 2023 Lots of little PE bits. It’s certainly more simple than a ship that’s for sure Ryland Craze, Egilman, AJohnson and 7 others 10 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted August 12, 2023 Starting in the turret.

RGL Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share #8 Posted August 13, 2023 Fairly straight forward. The rear gear rack is also part of the aftermarket set but it’s waaay to hard for me. I’m happy with the plastic and just added some rivets Old Collingwood, king derelict, JpR62 and 7 others 10 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share #12 Posted August 18, 2023 So a few days off. I sprayed a clear coat over the base red/brown. Then a chipping fluid coat, and now green. Base that now needs to be lightened up.
