Hasagawa 1:72 M3A1 half track

[BBdave]

Having had a bit of an unlucky run modeling wise I was going to chuck it all in but the better half persuaded me to have another go so I dug this out to give me a bit of practice. I want to try something bigger and more complex but not sure I possess the skills,anyhow this will be brush painted due to the compressor dying recently and as it's not big it should be easy right? 


I nearly bought one of these when they were only around 6k but the risk ,cost and regularity of track breakages was to high so I bought a jeep I've ridden in a few though which is far simplar and cheaper.

It looks a nice kit Dave, just take your time and I'm sure you'll do a grand job.

Thanks I'll try but it is very small

I had a couple of call outs during the night so did bits each call. I think the prospect of painting this is more daunting than a big model!  :o . Hope I did the right thing leaving the tracks till last.

The construction looks great and some very nice detail for a tiny kit.

Todays update I had some issues with fit in the bonnet area but got it the best I could using glue to soften the plastic so I could move it to where needed so it got messy but fingers crossed with a little filler it'll be ok everything else seems to be going ok, one thing I need to remember is when fitting a part if it's not quite right it'll effect something else later on.
