This is what was awating me. After A Quick examination I realized I already strip the Chrome parts
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/1/3/7/1164137-107208-40-720.jpg)
Seems Like I already build the Engine. I asume that I cover it with Mr. Gunze Surfacer. But I'm not shure.

What happend here? I can explain. This one is an hollow part. I don't know why but in my folishness I filled the hollow part completly with Revel plasto. The plastic has been dissolve from the solvent of the putty. Now I know not to fill huge holes with putty. This will be a pain to correct
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/1/4/0/1164140-107208-62-720.jpg)
I decided not to strip the primer an just sand it it al little bit.

For the Water hose I tried 2 different types of hose clamps. I decided to use the right one, because the original has wide clamps.

Don't know why but the decals are brittle. When I wet them they fall apart. Unfortunately I couldn't find the lost piece

The Problems with the decals are almost on every part. The Other side was in worse. I will try to repair them with some color.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/1/3/7/1180137-107208-47-720.jpg)
Newly painted Tank. Had to strip the color after some problems with the clear coat.

![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/1/4/8/1180148-107208-71-720.jpg)
Almost complete. Only thing are left is the Tank (Clear coat is drying) and the Mirrors. Wanted to use some Bare Metal foil. Can't order anything here, so I have to paint them.

Album info
This is an old Modelkit from Tamiya. I bought it as a kid. Started to build it around 2004. Stopped shortly after. I didn't know what would awating me after such a long time. I couldn't remember what I had already made.
