21/2 Ton 6X6 Tamiya 1/48
Posted by TREYZX10R on Sunday, November 11, 2012 3:34 PM

I havent attempted a Military ground  Vehicle in over 20 years so thought I'de get my feet wet with an easy one before jumping back into the treaded types. The kit was a real nice mold and went together nicely with no fit issues . I finished it with Testors enamels and Dullcote.

any suggestions for good 1/48 ww2 tank kits?

Very nice work,I enjoyed that kit also.The newer Tamiya 1/48 are pretty nice.Jagdtiger,JS-2,and Marder are very good.The older Firefly,Mark III,and T-34 are good also.

If you can find the Skybow 1/48 Late Tiger w/zimm, I really liked that one

Looks nice!  Only thing I would have you change are your tail lights.

Your right tail light should not have any red:

Your left tail light should only have the upper oval lens in red:

And the round item just to the right of the left tail light is a lid for an electrical outlet: it should be olive drab.

Hope these help
