Tankbuilder wrote: Thanks, Peter! It's a 1/10 resin bust from Young Miniatures. I'd never done a Young bust before, and it was a lot pricier than I was used to, but the quality of the casting was amazing. I painted him in Vallejo acrylics, and finished the face in oils over an acrylic...

iowabrit wrote: Thanks, Iowabrit! Yes, its the old Tamiya kit, just with a bunch of work. I lowered the suspension, used Acadmy's M60 roadwheels with the black vinyl "tires", corrected the turret height, corrected the nose, added some scratchbuilt parts, casting numbers, an Eduard PE set...

kaleu wrote: Thanks very much, Kaleu! I'll be stuffing the turret bustle with all kinds of gear, and covering it with a tarp to match photos. Then there's the half-dozen fuel & water 5 gallon cans, and a few cases of C-rations. This beast is going to be finished as tank "A 51", in Hue City...

Hi all, Here's the current state of my M48A3 project! Got some paint on it, got the tracks built, painted, & installed. Tank is filtered/washed/drybrushed. Still need to install the Xenon light, and then the stowage and major weathering will start! (Yes, I only painted the chevrons on the...

Sherman 18 wrote: Hi Sherman, Thanks! I used Archer Fine Transfers Surface Details. If you don't know what they are, or don't have them, GET 'EM!! They are black RESIN, that is printed onto clear decal film. They make a bunch of casting numbers, a metric assload of weld seams (which are...
