Since i am here and there is still time, it is a good chance to build the old Tamiya M41. So, i'm in. I will start getting ready a few things tonight.

Thanks guys. Well, a very easy and fast build. Very few parts and classic Tamiya.... Most of the assembling is done, apart from the parts that need to be painted first and the headlights. I need to hollow those out first, to make them look a bit better and then it's primer time.

Thanks guys. Well, got around to do some work so first some white primer and then some black preshading. Had a lot of issues with the airbrush, although it was thoroughly cleaned. Probably due to be unused for a long time. After that, olive drab progressively lightened using dunkelgelb and aircraft gray. Light at this hour is not ideal... I think it will look better after oils and some abuse.

You could be right about the airbrush problems John, but as Boots said, that is now a fantastic canvas to work on

Great to see an M-41 and that Olive Drab paint application look superb!

These older Tamiya kits are great value. Motoring along nicely too!
