                        Posted by hogfanfs on Monday, May 11, 2020 5:42 PM
                        I started this kit for the Modern Armor Group Build last year, but life got in the way, and I had some serious modeling blahs which made me put it aside for several months.  But, finally got the itch to get her finished.
                        The kit is the 1/35 Takom Merkava MK.I. This was the first time I used Mission Models paints and after a “getting used to” period, I really liked them. And I used Adam Wilder oils and pigments for the weathering.
                        Here are the pictures, let me know your thoughts:
                         
                         
                         
                         
                         
                         
                         
                         
                         

                        Thanks for looking!

                        Thank for the awesome comments, gentlemen! 

                        Funny, I'm not one to wear gloves while working on a kit, but, after taking a closer look at one of the pictures; I left some fingerprints... Smile

                        I think I'll start wearing gloves for painting from now on, lol
