As a primarily aircraft modeler I'm not as well versed on the details, etc of armor models. That said, when I decide to build a armor kit I try to do plenty of research so, hopefully, I build it "right". I'm still in the very early stages of this build so we will see how it goes.

Yes indeed! Nice work.

Looks accurate to me. Colourcoats makes it in a enamel.

Going to be a beauty for sure!!!

That's what I figured, thanks.

Thanks Peter.

LOL Gaz! Time for something a bit different I guess. My stash of armor keeps growing so I guess I better build some!

We'll see how it goes Jeff. It's been several years since I've built a tank so I guess I'm due!

LOL! As yet to be determined.

You did a great job on it. I've been busy removing the plethora of molding tabs and cleaning all that up. I hope to get started on building and pre-painting this weekend. If I remember correctly, interiors on German panzers were a rusty red color or a whiteish ivory color. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Thank you Rob. I can recommend Top Notch for masks. He did a great job at a reasonable price.

Thanks Mike. I agree, it does build up just fine with no real problems.

Thanks Carl.

Nice work! I'm considering a white scheme but that is subject to change.

Thanks Gaz. I figure at that point in time the a/c weren't showing a lot of wear, etc so I decided to go subtle on this build. A little paint wear and some exhaust stains only.

Thank you!

I just hope I can do it justice since I don't build very many armor kits.

LOL Phil!!! I'm thinking it might take a little longer..........

Thanks Phil.

Looks great in the box. Cookie Sewell did a review on it and gave it high marks. The only "problem" I see is all the molding tabs. Looks like enough to make another kit! LOL Pretty tedious to remove and clean up.

Thanks Jeff. I'm glad you like it.

Taking a break from things with wings. This Tiger 1 will be next up on the bench. Looks like a outstanding kit and should make a really cool model! Stay tuned.

All done on this one. I haven't added the stretched sprue antennas yet as I'm sure I would break them while taking photos. The side numbers, 155, and tail numbers, 15P, are from masks custom made for me by TopNotch Model Masks. National insignias are from Yellow Wings decals. Painted with Model Master OD and Neutral Gray. I added the correct pitot tube as the one in the kit is wrong. I had come to a screeching halt on this build when I screwed up the windscreen/armored glass attachment. Thankfully the folks at Trumpeter sent me a replacement clear sprue so I could finally finish up. I decided to model Taylor's a/c instead of Welch's. I hope y'all like it!

It's all done. Pics posted on completed works.
