Peterpools Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 PW, great start and you're flying through the build. Completely agree, the beauty will be in the painting and weathering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Moving on ...lower hull done , turret done , just finishing upper hull . Typical Tamiya no engine bay , just a void so use some mesh just to give it a feel . Holes on Deck Brass mesh Will paint it all black in bay so will pass casual inspection 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Other recent Tamiya fudge is solid hatch handles , they use to do them separate , but easy to replace with bent 0.5mm wire. Will be fine under paint . Stuff like this puts the old Jap favourite in Division 3 for me these days . Nearing completion of the build , now off to watch the Sopranos with Mrs Womble !

Bet 'The Wire' is on that list lol . Half way through Season 4 , where Furio gets all mooney over Carmella Done the whole series a few times , it is one of the all time best series . Still feels odd it's 25 years old now , I remember watching it coming out . It's aged well IMHO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerWomble Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Come to a short stop . Decided to buy some nice resin M51 stowage from John at GaiJin in Cornwall ....and it will be about 2 weeks before it arrives ..so my plan to roll straight into paint has been put back as I'd rather glue all the stowage on before painting ;- it falls of the paint otherwise . Slightly annoying but as I hadn't planned to enter this model , anyhoo . Will give me time to get some diorama ideas together , although IDF figures seem short on the ground . Kurt inspects the progress of "Mr Inadequate" ....last time he saw a barrel that long was on his old King Tiger. Ho hum . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
