This old Tamiya kit has been toward the top of my "pile" of things to build and what could be better for this campaign? I built the newer version several years ago,Tamiya has improved the kit over my 1976 box, but it only cost me ten bucks. :laugh: It was too cold to paint anything, so I spent last evening and part of today chugging along.
The Tamiya gun is OK, one could drill the muzzle, but the RB Models barrel is SO much better!
Glue the halves together, wait a few minutes, grab the razor saw and ZIP-ZIP.
Fits like a glove!
I wanted the driver's flap open, so I made the supports from scrap PE brass.
Glue the flap open and there you go.
The old kit has some weird openings that need to be filled.
I cut a filler from sheet styrene and glued and filed it to fit.
More to come, still assembling. Thanks for coming by.
