I bought this little Trident gem at the nat's for $5.00 More of a model than the HO KT was.

This one has a nifty lil' interior. I added transmission & transfer case shift levers, but they're invisible. The big 20mm ammo bins can be seen. A piece of brass wire holds the gunner's seat in the turret.

Yep! Ron is correct. 1/87 scale. the Ol' Chap at the CO Nat's had a pile of Roco & Trident kits. He sold me another Teeny Tiger Tank (1/144) scale for $5.00 as well. I do waterline ships, so, Bitty is fine with me. With my newly acquired airbrush skills, I'll likely fix up the 1/72 Col. Robin Olds, as well. MUHHU HA HAHA HA!
BTW, where's that emoticon for Sailor Jerry Rum, anyhow??
 
Wow! That'd be swell, but U shouldn't do so just for me. well, Iron mike, other Grog enbibers, well, Thanks just the same!
 
That's looking pretty good. I commend you as 1/87 scale is even a little small for me. I'll stay with my 1/72 scale stuff. Keep up the awesome work, this is looking good!
 
I made a bit o' progress. I won't be ready for the Butch O'Hare show, but it's still fun!

Nice camo pattern! You nailed that well in this scale! However, check the left side of your gun shield; I see a little fingerprint that needs to be remedied.

Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more.
 
Roger that! I thought I'd dent it, rust it or blend it. Now I've given away my identity. Bugger!!
 
Track assemblies are as done as they will get, in this scale, Muffler's rusted, added exhaust pipe. 1st coat of dust. I maybe should have decaled before dirt. :facepalm
