Hi everyone. In an effort to force my self start building again, i will start with this one. The good old Italeri kit. It maybe old, but still is good enough.  The tank i will attempt to build is one of the Hellenic army. The M 24s served until 1990. Although they were considered as in storage, they had their swan song in 1996. Intended as a stop gap measure, some were brought back to full working order only to be scrapped about a year later. Here are some pics from one in MERC like the one i intend to build.   Let's hope i will manage to finish this one. |

Late to the party- as ever....
Very nice job. I built the Tamiyareboox a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Whimped-out on the finish though and went for plain OD.
Looking forward to seeing this a bit more colourful.

Hi again ppl. Time to revive the thread. I had some appetite to model today. So as expected, primer was sprayed first.   Then the whole tank was prayed with olve drab and then two lighter shades lightened with tan. Unfortunately i didn't take any pics of that... Then brown and two lihter shades again.   Then it was time for the off white and black.   Pics are not very good, my apologies for that. Next steps, the rubber of the wheels is to be painted, tracks to be built and painted. Hopefully cya soon.... 😉😁 |
