It built up very quickly; it took just one afternoon
But there was this annoying void above the track, so I fixed it
No stowage or tow cable was included, so I set off to make my own and added some details from paperclip and copper wire. The antenna was a stripped guitar string.
then, it was ready for paint! I used rattle can olive drab as a base, then handpainted the camo pattern and dry brushed to bring out detail and fade the paint. I glossed for decals, applied a wash, added some dirt, and sealed it all with a flat coat.
tramping around campus
this was my first time suing link-and-length tracks and It took a few tries to get everything all together!
Ive decided I rather like 1/48 armor. Nice compact size, but large enough to still add detail. That, and its kinda cute.
When the page first loaded I thought that B&W photo was an original WWII photo!! Fantastic Sherman Owl. Great looking camo pattern, detail and weathering. Too bad Tamiya kept those open sponsons on their 1/48 scale Shermans. [:@] You would have thought they could fix that.
Cool build. FYI @ Bish: Tamiya’s call out for the paint colors is incorrect. They should be OD and black. But it’s not a knock on CallsignOwl’s nice work, whatsoever.
