You doing the one from the 11th Armored Cavalry, Marco? Hi Ian! Yes, bro, I'll. Seeing the options, I opted the one that don't have big cartoons or names, just the beautiful MASSTER scheme, with more black spots. That's great, Marco! The Black Horse!!!!! |

A bit more done on this nice kit! The turret and commander's cupola are done, as some details on both. To enhance the texture a bit I used VMS slow dry glue and a stiff old brush. Slowly, slowly we are getting there. Hope you like:    ACC&?W  |

Cheers Si!
I forgot to mention: The yellow spots all over the mantelet cover were necessary because this piece has all the locators to install the add-on armor. But there wasn't such thing in 1974 or so. So, I drilled the locators, fill with plastic (from B1 sprues - different color to make easy to see the spots) and after that a "hand" of slow dry cement. Next I'll try to make it looks like a tarpaulin again.

That is looking fantastic Marco  . You have done a real good job on the barrel, and the fix on the mantlet is excellent  |

Thanks a lot Paul! But I must to say that the barrel (except the fume extractor) is one piece  I only needed sand it smooth to eliminate the mould lines. It's a beautiful piece. |

Marco even if only the fume extractor is split, you have still done a good job cleaning the join line |

Thanks a lot lads! Means a lot to me. Last weekend I only finished the mantlet's tarpaulin. I'll post photos soon (I hope) Woutz, I personally prefer modern or "no so modern" tanks and vehicles, but I must confess that some Great War and WWII heavy metal always take my attention. Bert: As you wish mate, but I don't have the evidences of crime now |
