Very nice work on those little kits ! Big SmileYes

I have fond memories of late 1970s era small scale ESCI armor kits due to the number of parts and fine detail on even small items.

Thanks for posting the photos.

They look good, those Esci (boxed by AMT/Ertl in the states when I first saw them) are what got me back into building small scale armor in the 1980s.

I would straighten out the antennas unless you plan on tying them down; they look too unrealistic warped like that.

Hello

Here is my first post here from last work. They are two M48 and M60Balzer.
The two models are from ESCI, very old. The other is from ITALERY but the mold is from ESCI.
Because of the age i decided to keep "the error of the wheels and tracks".
The M48A2 with L7 105mm gun is a recovery. Made this model for the portuguese army long time ago.
 - Stuff I use to do :
Surface Primer from Humbrol, base color made with Tamiya .
Wethering with pigments from MIG, Tamiya, wash MIG and AK (NATO WASH).
Details paint with Vallejo.
Gloss varnish waterbased acrylic Vallejo and in the end matte varnish from Humbrol (with white spirit).
Boxes, cables, blankets and other stuff and the numbers areI made with toilet paper, printer corel draw and patience of the other-half
Come and let see the work:

M48A2:
Tamiya base color 1P XF-60 Dark Yellow + 1P XF-57Buff











                Finish Model










M48A2 L7 105mm:
Tamiya base color: 1P XF-57 Buff + 1P XF-59 Desert Yellow + 1P XF-20 Medium Grey











 
                Finish Model






M60 Blazer
Tamiya base color 1P XF-20 Medium Grey + 1P XF-57Buff






I made the small motar having as a model the mortar in Merkava.
