Global Scale Modeller

I thought this might be a nice little kit to build - it has these new tracks from Tamiya that look interesting to me, and since this is an out of box build - I figured theses new tracks have to be better than the typical ruberband tracks in the older Tamiya kits.

I like the look of this.

Wheels are done - easy, problem free thus far.

More progress:

okay finished this tonight.

NIce Kit !

So I'm interested in doing this painting option:



First I prime the model in black (which is not normal for me).




Let that dry up for most of the day.

Started off with the main tank color "sky"





After a couple hours I tape off areas and paint the second color: Olive Drab:







Next up is the turret: I tried to tape off the camouflage pattern but realized that was pointless. So I took this pen and hand marked off the pattern - as the pattern has a black outline to it on the actual tanks:





I'll be hand painting those patterns in the morning.

More taping off and spray the third camouflage pattern: Red Brown.





The results:

Okay finished the basic paint job. All the fun weathering stuff is next...



I hand painted the camouflage pattern on the turret:

Should have this finished today:

I like that turret camo. What sort of pen is that you used for the outline.

I don't know the brand but if you look at the picture I have the pen there showing the only markings it has on it. My dad gives them to me - good for models - suck for writing.
