Trumpeter K1A1 pics

Posted by HeavyArty on Thursday, September 23, 2004 4:53 PM

I recently finished the Trumpeter K1A1. No real problems. Had to close up all the storage boxes around the turret with plastic card. Trumpeter molded them with no bottom (??). Otherwise a good kit.

Here it is.

You got it, all Trumpeter for the basic tank, a few scratch or modified pieces to make them look better, but nothing aftermarket.

Actually, the flags were left overs from the Academy K200 IFV kits. I have built three of them in different configurations ( I wasable to get the Academy kits for less than $10 each when I was stationed in Koea) . One as an Italian version, one as a K200, and as a K200 Vulcan (Korean version of M163). Gotta love M113 series and its varients. You can see the K200 and the Vulcan in my Showcase below.

Yes and no. The dark green and dark tan areas are airbrushed. The sand and black stripes are by hand. The scheme is pretty unique. It is pretty close to the 1970's US MERDC scheme, but not quite. Here are my K200's done in the same ROK Army scheme.

And the whole ROK Checkpoint Dio they are on (based off an actual Checkpoint in Korea)

It was hard to get both K200's with the same scheme, but they are really, really close.
I have a ROK M48-A5 in the same scheme too, no pics of it at this time though.
