Hotchkiss Revival

[Plastik Smurff]

I started this build for the "Under new management" campaign but it never got rolling out the door and to date this is the only tank I have spilled glue on.I got it to paint stage but for some reason I put a cammo job on it that would make a blind man cry .
So I decided to have another crack at her and get it finished.For continuity's sake I will post some of the eairler build picks.

She is a simple kit compared to most but the main thing I wanted to try is weathering on these things.
A new paint job first. :dance

I have tried adding some chipping to this old frenchie.

I have still to put a filter over this lot yet so it still look's a little raw.
It's a first attempt so I have alot to improve on.

Great you picked it back up, fine job so far

Nice camo and details! Is that the Bronco (Weijun) kit? If so, I hope you have better luck than I did with the tracks.

This is boxed as a Trumpter Kit and the tracks are rubber an don't fit very well (you get what ya pay for).
Well I have finished this little tank and for a first attempt at armour weathering I'am rather happy with it.
I did intend to make her pretty dirty just for fun.
As I said this is my first armour build so any advice and tip's on weathering and such will be greatfully recived.

The pic's I have taken don't fully show the weathering shade,they have taken on a pinkish hue for some reason and the turret is not that clean.I don't know why this is

Can you get a picture of it out in the sunlight?

I like it! The Weijun kit I had included individual link tracks that I found unbuildable. You did well on this build! :drinks
