Revell 1:72 Warrior MCV

Hi

hopefully this will revive my spirits after the T-72B

Plan is to build pretty much out of the box:

Mark



Sprue Shots:

Wheels cleaned and spiked on the "hedgehog" for priming:



Hull taking shape:

 

[wasdale32]

found some vaguely appropriate mesh in the spares box for the stowage bin sides. (not perfect but an improvement on the solid moulding...



Turret assembled:

 

[wasdale32]

Added a bit of stowage for interest...

Mark very nice esp the mesh and that stowage fits so well .
Only wish I could still work in that scale .

Thank's guys. This is a real pleasure to build after the T72.

Stowage is green-stuff putty and the mesh was originally for a 1:35 M5 Stuart tank....

Hull and Turret primed. - antennae look too thick - might have to replace them...

Side plates ready for link & Length tracks - I like the separate side panels as it means I can get the tracks on after basic painting but not have to mask the lower half

Taking shape now Mark.

L&L tracks fitted and base coat on the hull & turret

I'm going with the camo scheme on the box but the colours don't seem to look right against reference sho so I'm using Valejo model air "US camouflage brown" for the tan colour and "NATO green" for the green.

The white balance is a bit out on the images - the tan colour is more pink than brown in the "flesh"

Great progress Mark and looking really smart.

Starting on the green layer...

Break out the silly-putty...



And now we have some reasonable hard edges - ready for detailing ...

And Done ...
