Tamiya 1/35 SAS Jeep

[snapper41]

My mum and dad bought me this kit back in the 70s when I was a kid, and I loved it. Nowadays, I'm a committed aircraft modeller, but this was for sale for £5 at my local model club, so I thought I'd have a nostalgia trip! I've used Legend resin wheels, the Italeri jerrycan set (an armour modeller at the club told me the kit ones were wrong), and the Eduard PE set. It was my first attempt at the hairspray chipping technique - Olive Drab first, then Buff over the top. Then an oil wash of Burnt Umber, drybrushing with light yellow enamel, and finally an overall dusting with pale yellow pastel chalks.

Thanks Si - although after the wheels, jerry cans and PE, it wasn't quite as cheap!

That's great Andy I love that dusty effect it really looks the part , only thing it needs is a driver

This jeep looks really good.


The paintwork is lovely. I will build this one, nearly, on my Sand SSIG, so it will be an excellent reference


Cheers
