Beautiful build! My all time favorite tank after I saw the Beatles Help! Movie when it came out way back when.

I like how that came out…
And I’m sitting here looking at that very same model I built back about 1975.
Cool! That’s one kit I’ve never built- does it come with an engine or is that scratchbuilt? In any case that’s some nice work.
comes with engine and full interior including driver position that is not shown in pics
Absolutely superb - a beautiful job! That finish really looks like painted steel, something that’s hard to accomplish properly, and the rust effects are excellent - well done!
Happy modelling,
Hutch.
rust is real rust, iron filings + vinegar left overnight, applied mixed with pva. [:D]
Well, you can’t get more real than real - great tip!
Nice work, brings back mostly fond memories here too.
Thats a cracking lking bild there, was not even aware of this kit until now. And while i am not a fan on rust on armour, the effect is well done.
Came out donkey’s years agao, on the heels of Tamiya’s 1/25 full interior Tiger.
A graw old kit, the bits are in place, and to Tamiya details levels. Not all of the wires and plumbing are there, so it’s a gorgeous pallette for super detailing, were a person inclined. Or leave it as it is for the limited view through the hatches.
I agree on the rust–it’s beautifuly done, but all I cab hear in my head is the rumbling approaching thunderstorm of a Sar’nt about to give Tommy Adkins a bucket of work to do, chop! chop!
Won it at a contest at AMPS…
is this a big mistake? started on interior
