Afternoon all, been sometime since the last update…so bad at this sometimes…
Thanks everyone for the comments
Richard, the engine deck plates were the offending ones, but glue clamps and patience took care of that.
Came across a documentary some time ago where the narrator used it so that’s where I got the expression, better stolen good than thought up terrible
Richard48, it’s a pretty neat kit all together, better to get Fruils for the tracks as it’ll make the sag easier, you’ll see later on
A couple of sub-assemblies and many parts were added to festoon the pan with bits making it more a turret:
Semi assembly of the tracks were done in 10 piece segments and when still drying they were bent over the sprocket and idler wheels.
Also found a new use for the foam bits I use for masking, keeping the tracks in shape:
Next stage was to paint it all, a grey primer with black and white for an easier contrast with the base colour:
And a couple of layers of Ammo IDF sand grey, detail work and gloss later:
Hopefully it dries very fast and I can weather it soon
Thanks for looking in.
Fernando
