Thanks, I can see why people get into tank building. My planes all invole fiddly paint prep and little bits of building. So far this is just mashing bits of plastic together with instant results, great fun!

Rally surprised at how quick this goes together but just seen the next few steps in the instructions, I may be slowing down to say the least!

Coming together nicely. Looks like a nice kit. Tanks do have an appeal all their own. And IMHO they never look right without a healthy dose of weathering.

thats the plan! Have read some articles about weathering as having only done aircraft up to now, ive never really done any. As usuall, any tips are greatly recieved!

There's no rubber pads on Centurion tracks, so you just need to dry brush the parts that contact the ground with some aluminium paint.

Cheers, I found a vid on YouTube of some Danish guy doing a build with really easy to follow weathering etc. very easy to follow but does have a techno sound track!

Lol, seriously though, cos I'm a bit special I find it much easier to learn by watching someone. I've read all the articles on oil washes and weathering pigments, but actually seeing someone do it means it's much clearer in my mind now.

NO!!!! i feel cheated lol. Glad i inspired you to build one, I have to say i will be doing more and I'm really looking forward to the weathering process. I think the resin figure was with the first few produced or something like that

I haven't built an armor kit,I just can't get into it. Aircraft are more fun to me

Looking good so far Adam. It's good to try something different.Ive built the Israeli Shot Cal version of this and it was quite a good build.

More pics up now, turret finished! Just remembered I skipped the step of building all the wheels (cos I knew I'd paint them separately) so got that to look forward to now! Thanks for following the build everyone

Yeah Brandon, no airbrush but I think I'll just rattle can spray it and then do all the weathering by hand with the details like shovels, paint chips etc. Go Hunter, so cool I inspired you to build this, surely that's what this site is best for!
