MrFew Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 This post covers a few firsts as I could be described as an aircraft modeller. So this is my first 1/16 scale tank and in fact my first tank model since I was very young a long time ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the kit and have set about doing more more tanks. It is also my first post on this forum and so please let me know what you think in a critical friend kind of way Thank you, Andrew. 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Andrew, first of all welcome to LSM and second that’s one heck of an introduction here. Beautiful weathering and the exhaust is stunning. Love to see AFV’s worn but not battered, you have this perfectly balanced, congratulations.......looking forward to more builds....... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Welcome to LSM Andrew. Your Panzer I looks great, there are so many details to discover, which contrast the otherwise dominant DAK yellow nicely. Your painting creates a very good material appearance, steel looks like painted steel, wood looks like wood,..., a hard to achieve result. Cheers Rob 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted July 12, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2020 Ho Lee Chitt! What an entrance!! Welcome to The Forums, man! If you’re an aircraft modeler, you give me much hope. Every single one of my attempted armor builds have ended in massive craters, so I rejoice!

MrFew Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Thank you very much everyone I do appreciate your comments. I am now into a WNW AEG. GIV (early) but have been bitten by the amour bug as I have just taken delivery of the wonderful 1/16 M5A1 Stuart tank by Classy Hobby. I have never heard of Classy Hobby before but they have produced an excellent kit. Below is the cockpit of the AEG 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s your thread, you can post most anything you want. No worries. I just ordered the Stewart too, I can’t wait to open the box and check it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at the Takom 1/16 scale Japanese tankettes and they look to be too small? I think a 1/16 scale Bren gun carrier would be a good idea if anyone Takom just happens to be reading this?

MrFew Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 I have had the good fortune to have bought a Tamiya Challenger II from the Iraq conflict for £10 in a charity shop and so will have a go at this before the Stuart and alongside my AEG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFew Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Here is the next tank build. I have put the wheels on and have started on the rear end. I have a detail set for this but on close inspection I don’t think I will use much of it as it seems to want to reproduce things that are already there and look perfectly fine? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFew Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 I have been making the back of of the Challenger II and trying to use the PE set. I tried but gave up with most of it as it is too much work for very little improvement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Very nice! Well done. I've just purchased Takom's Panzer 1 b and the Breda modification of the Panzer 1 a used by Spanish nationalists sold by Ammo but made by Takom. Both look like great kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
