      andygh's USMC Ontos

      I'm building the Academy USMC M50A1 Ontos for this one (supplied with perfect timing by John). I've added the Verlinden resin interior so I can have the hatches open (maybe) and the ET Models etch set
      I may do a bit of a jungle type mini dio for this and possibly add another vehicle, not sure yet but I'll make it up as I go along as usual

      Here's the box/sprue shots etc.















      Cheers, Andy

      Photos of progress so far



      Trying the resin set for size




      Main components cut & sanded to size then fixed with superglue




      All painted inside




      Some washes & pigments added for weathering




      Inside just about done, closing the body up, now for the etch

      The resin is very nicely detailed & fits fairly well, the instructions are typical Verlinden though, a few over-exposed blurry photos. I've probably spent more time searching for reference pictures than building the model so far
      Still, on with the build



      Spot the massive mistake

      No that's not it, the fenders are a**e about f***e, doh I really should have learned to read the instructions by now


      Anyhow, I thought there'd be a few more having a go at this SIG, what with all the votes it got

      That's it, all the etched stuff is done, just need to sort out the inside-out rivets caused by me fitting the fenders the wrong way round and it'll be ready for some primer











      Some interesting masking to do too
