No matter the warts, it's a good kit to build. I have one 3/4 finished, been on the shelf of no return for almost five years now.

Yours is looking good, keep at it.

Yeah, that looks really good so far. I like how you improvised on the business end of the barrel. 

Thanks guys.

I'm curious to see how this comes together, might have to add one to the stash.

Stay tuned BK 

Looking good so far PJ. Those Academy GMC/TD kits (M10, M18, M36) are not bad at all. The look good OOB, and are a great starting point for some AMS work.

Thanks stik.

Looking good PJ! Always liked how the M10 looked.  

 

Thanks GS.

I have a question regarding the on board tool color usually would be OD as stik pointed out but how about in a Tan and OD scheme (601 TD in particular) where the tan color is where the tools are located. Would the tools be tan or OD?

That all depends upon the crew. If the tools were left in place, the engineers applying the paint would paint right over them. If the crew took the time to remove them, they would be in whatever scheme that they were beforehand.

Thanks stik, was thinking about the same thing and you confirmed it.

Work computer=No pictures.

I'll be back later on this evening to check this out Ernie.

It's fun watching you guys build armor. One of these days.......

No pictures yet Joe but will have some up as soon as I have some progress. It's been too hot to paint in the garage  lately, feels like an oven is on high! 

C 'mon Greg grab an armor model and have some fun!

Ok got some progress going here. Bogeys are on

Shot the forward interior white. The rest will be OD

The turret and gun details are done

Stretched some sprue and made thin weld lines as seen on my reference pictures 

I need to add some small parts and the OD will be sprayed next.

Nice job on the interior! All it needs a bit of a wash and some detail painting.

Great work on those weld lines!

Thanks stik. Yes the interior will get some washes and other details painted including the ip.

This was put on hold for a while due to other home projects but it’s back on the bench now. I used my recently acquired Sotar that was on the Badger 60th Anniversary sale list. This thing shoots incredible tight thin lines for super fine details. 

OD sprayed on the interior 

Paint done freehand using Mr Color OD and ModeL Master tan enamel at about 8 PSI.

That is looking nice and tight!

Well done! Love it!

Thanks MB!

Good to see you back on this- the camo looks spot-on! 

Thanks Rob and gamera 

I have that Sotar 20/20 and it is super nice for the fine lines and tight detail. It works great for small bits and fine line camo. Your kit is coming along nicely. I need to get one of these too.
