Very nice build! I just started the same kit. I love these old NASCAR kits!

The trend in model making is to heavily rust and weather tank tracks for ultimate realism but one thing to take note of in regard to *fully operational tanks* is that these tanks will have just a minor amount rust on the tracks; even in the deepest recesses of the track plates, the metal will be relatively clean. Driving on the softest off-road dirt and soil (which naturally has stones and pebbles in it) will wear away nearly 95% of all rust and corrosion just from the abrasion and/or pushing dirt in and out of the tracks. The area where the road wheels make contact with the inside track surface will also be bright metal after a few miles of driving. The ends of the track pins where the sprocket engages the track and the track's center guide teeth (T-55/T-62/T-72) will be polished bright from the wear as well, giving an almost chrome-like appearance. Tanks with rusty tracks have been sitting a long, long time. 😎

Thanks everyone for the compliments! Also I really appreciate the info Snake. No trends being followed here just a heavy-handed first attempt at a tank kit. Definitely got a bit carried away with the pastels. I will clean off the treads and add metallic color in the areas you pointed out. Lots to learn yet.

I'll be building it and displaying the box, my friend. Perhaps not a wonderful old kit but I think it'll be fun to have the old one next to the new tool Coupe I built previously. I also have a glue bomb rebuilder of it which I'll need as this poor thing has some of the worst tire burn I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. 😂😂

I believe that it's the first tooling of the kit I have? I made myself a promise, that one day, when I get the space, I'll display all my first editions. However, right now, I can't swing a bloody cat, in my cave, for all the kits I have! Thankfully, the Mrs is home now, and already into her first kit, so I've got some help.

Yes indeed. New tool in 1963! And with a lovely box too. It will display beautifully. The kit shows its age of course but I believe I can build it up with some semblance of decency. I have too many kits as well! If only I could get my wife to build some. 🤣

These pictures are the start of a model project that I had long shied away from with respect: the kit parts promised a lot of fun and a highly interesting aircraft as a result, but also a lot of 'toil and trouble'. On the other hand: the adventure simply beckons.... 🙂
Here you can see the parts in almost raw condition, I only started to detail a little with round and flat wire. The tricky question was how to treat the sensitive and already somewhat battered transparent part of the unusual cockpit glazing. I decided to cut off the two side parts, mask the inside and outside of the windows and only attach the central clear part at the very end. I like the pictures with the over-designed radial engine: what a power-to-weight ratio for these racing machines!
The last two pictures show the current state of construction and detailing.... Well, we'll see...

There she is now - at least on her own two feet, even if the appearance with engine and mighty cowling - not to mention the upper wing - will change a lot. The construction steps up to this point were accompanied by a lot of sanding, but the accuracy of fit turned out to be surprisingly good.

You're right!
A friend asked if I was building a flying washing machine - in fact, the empty mount for the huge motor still reminds me of it. All the more so now that everything is white: it went well with all the white that Martin Mars is currently applying and forms a good basis for the following 'lemon yellow'.

Thank you Skyhiker, Cement mixer - I'm laughing my arse off, the Solution is obviously an inspiring sight: how apt!
It's probably time for the massive cowling with the mighty radial engine to go on the front end. One step towards this is the colour yellow, which will remain on the wings and tailplane. I would like to use Gunze's 'Emerald Green' for the fuselage colour.

From this morning with freshly applied decals: everything seems to shimmer and shine appropriately - but it turned out that the decals are absolute 'self-destructors'. The ones you can see here on the model fortunately went reasonably well, but the large markings on the wings and fuselage were beyond repair: just crumbs. Now I'm looking for someone who might be able to make me some painting masks on a PC. Luckily I scanned the decal sheet beforehand.

Beautiful paintwork!
I don't know if this helps but I've sent scans of decals to stsdecals before and they were able to make replacements for the ones that shattered.

Thank you Jürgen! I've just returned from the 'Bavarian Modelling Days' in Erding - a most enjoyable modelling weekend! 🙂 STS really doesn't look bad, but I may have found a quicker way: A modelling colleague has taken on the task of creating adhesive masks for the outstanding identifiers on his PC. The way things are going, it should be possible to spray soon.
This morning I was able to brace the Super Solution using what I think is a good method: The flat wire is stapled into one hole with cyanoacrylate, the other end is drilled through so that the wire is fixed in place with a drop of super glue while one end is pulled hard. Once everything has hardened - with a spray from the 'activator' in seconds - you can let go - the wire tightens perfectly and all is well. Now all that remains to be done is to sand the excess wire and glue flat before applying a new coat of paint.

Oh it's looking so good!
I use a similar approach to wires but I use fine rubber string. I learned from Elias K on here to drill the holes and then patch the finish like you're doing.

I use a product called "ez line" - maybe the best example is on my tiger moth or deperdussin builds. It is a very fine rubber string. This makes it easy to stretch tight. I drill holes and use a drop of super glue with accelerator as you do. I can do one end, stretch it tight, then do the other. The only drawback is the kind I use isn't perfectly round which is visible when it's twisted. Maybe some other modeler can comment on a better (round) brand of fine rubber line.

Thank you very much for this explanation - it helps a lot and puts me on the right track: well, to my surprise, I'm already using the material! 🙂 I know it under a different name from "Uschi van der Rosten". Excellent when it comes to depicting round wire. You have already described the shortcoming of the material. Many thanks for this tip!

A couple of new pictures show the surfaces that have been sanded smooth again in the places where I fed the tensioning wire through the holes yesterday. Now it's time to paint and touch up again - then nothing stands in the way of applying the final markings!

There are also a few new features on the Laird Super Solution - especially the huge engine changes the appearance! But it looks good on the little thing, no more traces of 'egg-plane', but pure power!

Now it's almost done! I was able to paint the missing markings on the fuselage and the upper and lower wings after a friend generously created exact masks for me on his PC and cutting plotter - thank you very much!
I drilled out the headlights on the leading edge of the upper wing once, the pitot tube on the left strut is improvised from two pieces of silver wire and the peculiar cockpit canopy is mounted - now a few small touch-ups will follow, but the Super Solution is close to the finish line!

Well, now it's actually finished: it was actually a very entertaining build, which required a bit of initiative, but was also very informative. I'm really learning to love the kits from Williams Brothers - the choice of models, the research into the original and the approach to realising it in plastic - it's almost all great enjoyment and leaves plenty of room for personal creativity!
