Making this for a mate! He wants to present to his dad on Father's Day!


It's a really old kit 1974 with loads of flashing





The figures are bad! If it was my kit, I would get some resin bits Pe and some good resin figures

[Switcher]

Do ya think they have enough gas Nige? LOL

[FishBowlMan]

Got this one on the go as well. I've been lucky, having very little flash on my kit, but there's been seam lines on pretty much every part! Other than that, its been a good, fun build.

Agree with you about the figures not being great. Think I'll try my hand at a diorama with a sand storm and see if I can hide them behind a cloud of dust

I like your bag straps and jerrycan rack. What did you use to make those?

[Nige99]

If it was mine I'd deffo upgrade this kit.
I used Tamiya tape for the bags. Bit fiddly to do but looks so much better that bags just glued to the side.

looking great so far. Watching with interest

[ConnorM]

looks great so far looking forward to seeing the finished model.

[Nige99]

Half way through the painting now!
I used Tamiya XF60 dark yellow for the vehicle. The jerry cans was painted with vellejo 70988 khaki which suppose to be the same colour match.



Some of the stowage painted



Still loads to do! Mg's kit bags etc. then it's the pin washes and weathering

[Paul]

Good progress mate

[Nige99]

Cheers Paul. It's coming along ok for a old kit.

[Nige99]

More progress on this build! Finished the stowage now. Need to do the chipping next then the gloss varnish for a pin wash.

[Paul]

Looking good mate, the old kit looks well once painted

[PaulAyrey]

Love the work so far. The additional stowage is great.

[Nige99]

Cheers guys, with a bit of hard work it is coming along.
Got some light chipping done last night. Next up is the gloss varnish.

[FishBowlMan]

Great stuff, Nige. Lovely work on the chipping

[Coen]

That looks the nutz Nige!
I love the look of all that stowage bud. That and the chipping make this look like a mini Warpig.
Stuffed full of painting exercises. haha.
Love that back yard too.

[Nige99]

Well I completed this last night for my mate.









I done the old pic from the instructions. Not sure if it looks right but it gives you a little bit of history.

[Paul]

Nice work mate, I'm sure Pete will be well happy with that

[FishBowlMan]

Lovely stuff, Nige. Lovely chipping effects and nice painting of those old figures as well.
