Nice Build so far.  What scheme are you going to paint?

Regards,  Rick

I think Tamiya is really on the ball with all this 1/48 stuff.  Really digging it!  I know that the cast lower hull probably does nothing more than add to the kit cost, but at the very least I like them because they add a little more weight to the build....give it a more stout feeling when you pick it up (but of course this feature has nothing to do with visual apperances. Big Smile )

Can't wait to see some paint!

Well started this bad boy yesturday as I had an itching to build somthing with tracks. My first Tamiya armor and my first 1/48 armor. Build has fallen together so far.

Box Art

Hull Bottom, Tamiya like the cast metal, more real so they say.

Top section

Top sitting on bottom, Tamiya provide screws to fix top and bottom together

Top fixed one and skirt supports fixed on

Hull basically finished, minus wheels and breakables

Beast ready for paint

Not sure what camo I will go for yet, see how I feel when I paint it I guess. I also plan on putting her on a diorama. I have the Tamiya Brick wall, sand bag and barricade set in 48 scale so diorama will insclude something from that not sure what else yet.
