First Armor Build

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

Here are pics of my first Armor Build. Walker Bulldog. Still needs a little “wear” to the tracks, but other than that it is done. I normally build aircraft and thought I would give something else a try. Might have found a new love. From the pictures, it looks like it might need some Flat Coat. [8D]

Great looking Bulldog Piflo1. See building all those practice wingy thingys paid off with a great looking tank [:D] I always liked that tank. Turn the turret around and post another pic of it

Looks like a nice build Bryan, good job.

Great to see another Oregonian on here, I’m just up I-5 a few hours from you. My dad was a driver and then a commander in a Bulldog for a few years in the ONG. Never forget the time during a parade when he was looking at us from the tank and almost hit the one in front of him, which had stopped. Took a pretty good chunk out of a street in downtown Salem that day.

Well done Bryan it looks great.

All I know about tanks is that they are too D _ _ _ heavy to fly, but the model looks good. Great Build. Now back to the wingie thingies.

Tell that to the Russians with their IL2 Sturmovik.[:)] Oh and he cant come back to the Fly boys cos hes converted to the Dark Side now. Once he finds out the joy of muddy tanks theres no going back[:D]
Very nice tank, piflo as you said just the tracks and maybe some dull coat and it`ll be good to go.I love the rust colour on the exhaust.

Fine job on the Bulldog!
Thanks for posting the pix!

Nice clean build you’ve got there, piflo1. What I don’t understand is where the wings are folded in and how it could get enough groundspeed to take off on those caterpillar things instead of a normal L/C [:D]

Seriously, is that an Academy kit ?

Nice Job!!

Good job for your firwst armor build and hopefully many more will follow. As for the before mentioned weathering of the tracks, once that is taken care of you’ll have a nice kit on the shelf.

Great looking first build. Thanx for sharing. Bryan

piflo1,
Very good looking job.
Just a couple of things in addition to the track.

  1. I think the inner headlights should be black
  2. you have the whole tail light area painted red. There are two small areas on the tail light. The upper should be red and the bottom (I’m not sure) silver or black.
    You’ve done a great job, just a tweak here or there.
