M-46 Patton

Inspired by George tackeling the old version of the kit (M-46 Patton, 6th Tank Battalion, 24th Infantry Division, Korea, 1951 | Album by Gbmodeler (1:35)) I collected it´s rebox quite cheap. It´s been a nice and easy build, just had some fun creating a better casting texture.
The rebox comes with DS-tracks, which seem to be a little too short, but more about that later. I´m currently busy cursing the desinger of the Decals as they don´t like beeing twisted around on the glacis plate. Surprise, surprise...

I was thinkimg of getting this kit, or the hobbyboss version...

But the yellow looks absolutely great so far 👍

Fabian D.
Thanks buddy, but which Hobby Boss version?
Got the decals on aftersome struggle. As it turns out the you should:
cut the carrier film on the side of the claws,
not attach towing lugs and pioneer tools on the front plate,
cut the huge mouth decal in at least three pieces (upper, lower and side part).
Other than that, there is probably no way to get front decal on, I ended up with a few scratches and about 3mm "excess decal" in the middle section. Luckily everything could be cured with some extra paintwork...

Hunter Cummins
No problem! And sorry thought this was an M-26 for some reason 🤔. But the decals look so awesome

That face is looking mean. Keep the good work, Fabian
