How long to complete Tank
Posted by blackburge on Thursday, July 28, 2016 2:58 PM

I just want to here you about how long it takes to complete Tamyia 1/35 tank? 1 months, 2 months, 6 months? I know it's a very variable thing but I want to have an idea. Thanks a lot

Hi ROB ;

    I built their version of a Stug 111 and it was a blast to build . Actually easier than Monogram's .And the Tamiya kit had more parts too . T.B.

Most armour builds, what ever the brand, will take me between 4 and 6 weeks. But that includes the base and figures.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

It all depends on how quickly you want to get it done. There's really no correct answer here. Everyone does it on their own pace.

Decades!  I have a Tamiya Stug III I started probably back in the 70's that's still not finished.  I started a Meng FT-17 late last year, and it's not finished yet!!

An abrams will take meabout 5 months to complete with my regular 30 minutes or so a day. Simpler kits will take for me about a month and a half. I do several kits at the same time which also add to the time I get to complete a kit.

This doesn't pertain to the OP's question (I believe he/she is a novice modeler asking for general guidelines?). But for those of us who have been in the hobby a while and have trouble finishing kits, for filmmakers, there's an old saying that you don't ever finish a movie, you abandon it. I think that applies to us as well!
