Hey gang,
This is the first time I post a finished model in FSM, hope you all can cope with my noobness.
This is ESCI Blazer kit with some modest improvements.
- I grooved the running wheels since they came as a "solid" wheel (typical of the times)
- Added the thermal blanket to the cannon
- Added a jerry tank ammo box to the coax M2
- Created the pitle gun supports from scratch to resemble more the pics I saw from the era (I think these are called "Scissors support" in the IDF)
- Added the mantlet canvas (kit came with nothing)
- All the rolls and backpacks were created using 2 component modelling clay and masking tape for the harnesses
- The ID blanket and ID canvas in the back is kitchen alluminium paper
- Wire spools is cooper from a phone cable
- .50 cases and ammo belts where made with lead from a mechanichal pencil
- Paint is revell "aqua" acrylics and pastels
Hope you guys like it!
J
