Hi again ppl. Time to start another one. I will use the old Tamiya M60A1 to build a Hellenic army A3 TTS2. I have the extra parts needed for the thermal sleeve and the crosswind sensor. The add on armor will find its way to the spare box... And some pics of the actual tank i will build.

Nice choice, it is the kit I did when restarting the hobby.. and having been numerous times to Greece, I really fell in love with the Greek camouflage pattern, so bought a couple of sets of Greek decals... can't wait to see this one!

What vehicles do you intend to build? Unfortunately this is going to be a simple green one with a lot of tear and wear.

Thanks for dropping by guys. Most of the parts are in place. Easy work, except for the turret basket. That one is always a pain. The good thing is the kit has all the parts for the A3 as well. Now time for the M68A1, the main gun that is. The thermal sleeve fasteners come in PE and they also provide the crosswind sensor and the air filter indicators that go outside their boxes. The kit's tracks show their age. I do have an aftermarket set, but they are way too much work as you can see on the pics below. We'll see....

Lovely work there John, that barrel is awesome . I say use the after market tracks, putting together should be very therapeutic

I'm not sure I'd have the patience for those tracks but fair play to you if you can get through them Nice work on the rest too mate.

Thanks guys. Decided to use White Ensign colours. That smelled bad... But the colours were correct. Well, this one was first primered as usual. Then some preshading. And here it is.

John, I can certainly understand your satisfaction . Well done ole chap, I really like this one also, specially the weathering and the blocking out of the reg and unit markings
