Hiya Mike

 

Neat little vehicle you got there. Looks good.  Weathering looks terrific and blends quite well with the base.

JB Models 1:76 Saracen APC, Malayan Emergency

OK
Another JB Models 1:76 kit, this time it is a Saracen APC from the 50's.

Nice kit to build up. Drilled out the turret machine gun, closed in the top hatch and as per my previous Saladin, added detail to the front and rear lights. Vallejo paints used throughout, with dot filters and pin washes using oils and MIG washes. MIG pigments were used to further weather the little build. I replaced the aerials with piano wire as well.

Then I noticed the issue that did not become apparent until I checked another Saracen kit. Oh well.

I replaced the awful kit Bren gun for a much nicer, though slightly bigger (1:72) white metal casting given to me by a good friend. Thanks Les for the assist!

Plus, new camera, new issues!
