1:72 Ace Grizzly APC

[rverissimo]

Hi all!

starting 2025 with another "hangar Queen" ( if this term is applicable to armour models)

I have it ready (almost) to paint since 2008/09 as i'm note sure.

this model literally fell into my lap and i immediately understood what the modelling gods were telling me.

The models instructions are very limited so i had to resource to online references and as so, i added some tie downs from wire and lifting points in the body and turret.

Also i needed to rebuild the propeller protections, as the original ones were to thick and over scaled.

some details are still missing but i opted to keep it this way ( I'll probably add some simplified mirrors ) as i had seen in some photos.

 

Sorry for the white dirt on the photos. i forgot to clean the model for the photo session

I also prepared a small base to integrate the model.

with the details glued, i then proceed to painting process. I'll represent a peacekeeping vehicle , wearing ONU markings but instead of a overall white paint, it will keep a green with black patches.

as so: applied a prime coat with Mr surface 1000 thinned with mr levelling thinner.

A couple of hours to properly dry, i applied a first layer of light green ( using lifecolor paints)

Now i need to let it dry for a couple of days!

i'll update this topic as soon as i have new photos !

thanks for watching!
