Bathtub done. Pieces fit together very well. This is the first Tamiya I'm building, so far I'm very impressed.

Decals didn't go well, so I created and masked and airbrushed the markings instead. I think it went reasonably well.

Little fellow´s got to hurry, the F-111 is already arriving at supersonic speed! Looking good & ready for the paint-job - I like the chain in the front, it breaks the usual BT-esque cuteness with a martial element!😉

Base colour is now finished, wheels are on track. Actually they are not, I need to finish painting them. Experimented with dull grey for the tracks, not convinced by the results yet.

I think the grey is fine, when you put a proper treatment of black & dark brown oil on it, you can steer it to the tone & level of contrast you want. Will be cool for sure!

I hope so! One more wheel to go, then I'll need to decide what to do about the tracks.

They must have had some really strong tobacco in the committee which designed these markings, but they look really great sprayed on the tank 👍
