1/35 M70A2 Krueger MBT, Desert Storm, 1991

[Jakko]

I made straps for the rucksacks that hang from the right stowage rack, using metal from a tube of superglue that had gone off:



As I happen to own examples of these ALICE Medium and Large packs in 1:1, getting the straps right was simple enough Those I modelled aren’t 100% accurate, largely because the lower parts won’t be visible, so I only bothered to build the top parts of the straps.

And painted:



And soon after that, the model was finished.

They look good mate. I use masking tape or the foil from a well know tubular crisp provider.

Thanks I’m not too fond of masking tape as it doesn’t take paint well, and I do not want those tubular crisp thingies in my house — I don]t think I’ve had worse crisps in my life — so that wasn’t an option

Those straps look very good.

Thanks to you too

Cheers I’m very happy with it myself as well, I think it came out very believable.
