Still got the ROK K1A1 safe and ready for the "modern armour GB" but couldn't wait to get this one started

Got the wheels and tracks on, just painted with a simple muddy water wash at the mo.

The figures are very good quality in these accademy kits too.

A great start Colin.

I would love to hear the joke that the crew have just heard. It looks like it cracked them up so much that one of them is actually ROFL'ing !

Little bit done over the weekend.

Added a few extras to lower hull, attached all relevant fiddly bits to upper hull (i must say it's well detailed), started painted the figures (got basic pattern for camo outlined), made a new cable for the towrope (four pieces of brass wire twisted, the original threads never that good eh?) ... thats it for now.

Thanks Mike .. the kit is really good so far, fit's well together, no flash, no moulding errors, nice quality plastic.

Have another Korean modern MBT to do for the Group Build thats accademy as well and on first inspection it's as good as this jobbie.

It's just a jump to the left Ole :smiling3: :smiling3:

Yep, i'm a fan, big enough one to have been to three stage shows of the Rocky Horror Picture Show ... and yes i did dress up :smiling3: :smiling3:

Anyway got some first coats of paint on, huge amount of detail in this kit.. i'm well impressed for the money.

The barrel's huge, there's a little "time-warper" in there for scale.

Thanks Ian, i'm having fun with this one...

Accessories all in place and turrets had a "road grime" wash as per the hull.

View attachment 47110

There's decals needing to be placed on the baskets at the rear of the turret, this can be done .. but will be a bit fragile and not very authentic looking at scale so i've made up two boards that will be attached to baskets and have the decals applied to.

View attachment 47111

Lastly the ariels, they needed to have the attenuator/booster coil near the centre so i came up with this ... it's bristles from a sweeping brush and the insulation from telephone wire for the coil ... makes them 4inches long - not far off scale at 12ft.
