Afternoon

My apologies for my absence but i have had a rough month of health issues, which have eased a bit, then being told that both of us are at high risk due to this virus have not helped

So what i hope is going to be a quick mojo boost

Tamiya's new French R35 light tank, not many parts and its small but looks up to Tamiya's usual high quality








So of to read the plans and the excellent booklet

cheers bob

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Aww, little tank is so sweet.

That camo looks like it will be fun to do.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Its tiny for sure and do not envy the guy in the one man turret!!

Not sure if not do it in German service or have a go at ruining the what looks like a complex paint job, especially the black demarcation lines??

on youtube Andy from the toy store used a marker type pen to draw the lines??

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I guess a Sharpie would work, or if you have steady hands you could pin stripe the black with paint. Not sure I'd fancy trying though.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Me too!! Could be a disaster in the making lol

He's lost it, send for the nurse with the big injector.....

 

[Steve Jones]

So this is what you were suprising us with! A terrific choice and a wonderful camo pattern to get your teeth into. I'm sure being a Tammy kit it will be a great OOB build. Good luck

Oh yes, not StuG shaped!! The mouldings look superb Steve. Big fan of Tamiya!

Many thanks Jim
Looks like soup and baked beans for months, open windows me thinks

Try a black base coat or primer, finely rolled bluetack or panzer putty, and then mask off the other colours one by one?

 

[PaulTRose]

looks a nice kit

 

[BattleshipBob]

Looks the usual Tamiya quality, and those excellent plans

Thats a fine plan!!

 

[AlanG]

I was going to suggest blu-tac as well

Morning Bob

Looks like a fun like motivator and Andy's You Tube build & paint was really cool to watch

Go on, you can do it and take the mojo boost back to Stug production

Have fun and take care

Nice one Bob, the unusual camo pattern is sure going to an interesting one to paint
