Working on this one for a review for AMPS…has been a very pleasurable build so far. I have some AMMO Red Oxide primer on and will be doing the French scheme instead of the captured one.
The figures include a half figure of a German driver and a full French figure…I love Tamiya’s newer figures- fit is impressive and there was little of any mold lines to remove…
Off to a good start on this one Jeeves. That figure looks like it’s got some really good details. NICE!!
Looking forward to seeing what you’ll be doing with this one.
Looking good Jeeves. I agree with you about Tamiy’a newer figures being so much better than their previous figures. This kit is definitely on my “To Buy” list.
Looks like a fun build. I think I may want to do one of the few the Israelis used in 1948.
That sounds like a very cool project…they’d still be olive greenish or OD that early, correct?
I would think so, but I’d check. The only pics I’ve seen show them in one solid color, but hard to tell in black and white…
An Israeli Cromwell is on my to-do list and I think that would be in it’s original British green, again not sure.
Yeah I dont think they adopted the sand gray until right around the start of the 1967 war…I look forward to seeing your Israeli H39!
Nice work so far. The kit is going to be a must buy for me when its finally starts showing up.
Thanks-- it was a quick and enjoyable build!
