[T30/34 (U.S. Heavy Tank) 1:35 TAKOM]

Taking a short break over bank holiday weekend.

Suspension arms have been painted, filed and cemented into position now just have to leave it to set over night and then touch up all the scratched pain

And we've got wings! No turning back now. I've spent a copious amount of time to blend the wing root smooth, but the time spent here will pay off at the painting stage (so I hope ). Next update we'll see some color.

 

ah what an interesting build a few questions I have to ask.

one: I guess you can call it a stand or jig but did you make it yourself or is it a kit? 

two: The foam in the engines I am assuming that is for stopping paint going were you don't want it.

Latest project is a American Heavy tank T30/34

I will be building the T34 version and i will be using the plan camouflage scheme. I will also be trying weathering powder to put on the lower hull, tracks and on some other areas. i will also be putting weathering on parts like exhausts and gun muzzle.

Still too many wheels.

 

 

 

This is about where I am at the moment. I'm a bit stuck because the instructions aren't very easy. I'll take some new photos soon.

[Tamiya Churchill VII 1:35]

If got 2 sets of 11 small wheels to put on the tank, now that's 22 wheels made up of 2 halves. That is 44 small bits of plastic to paint.

 

 

 

[Tamiya Churchill VII 1:35]

I've put some of the smaller parts together to make bigger part's lol.I have also painted some weathering on the edges of the tank hull it might be hard to see tho.( I basically put some brown paint around the edge).

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Tamiya Churchill VII 1:35]

Painted the main body. Here's before.

 

 

Here's after.

 

 

 

Tank is so big it takes up several countries on the map!

[Tamiya Churchill VII 1:35]

That is a lot of wheels.

 

 

 

So confusing. The instructions in all foreign languages.

 

 

Sorry, picture not very good. I have painted and made some of the chassis with the gun.

 

 

 

 

 

Drive wheels too.
