tnx everybody for the nice comments, i think this one goes to one fo my best models yet.

the tracks and wheels where a first for me to do in this way and i took some exampels from the other forum guys.

the kit tracks where black and i simply gave them a verry thinned tamiya flat earth wash to go in the downed area's next a drybrush with dust pigments.

the wheels, they where overall dark green or olive green, i sprayed them as new, with tamiya dark green and the tires with black. next as i dit with the entire model a coat of dust (tamiya buff) with the hull a bit more than the wheels. and next only the wheels with several light coats of tamiya nato brown and one light coat of tamiya flat earth. last a drybrush with dust to highlight the edges and bolts.

happy building everyone

well the 101st knew where it was the tank driver was saying he couldn't bloody well shoot it if he bloody well cannot see it....lucky for him I think the tiger hit a sherman behind him then he put it in reverse most Rikki-Tik

indeed it was a cromwell, and a tiger (on a t34 chassis)

I think I need this kit--I have a great picture of of column of thses moving through a town, in full color, blown up across two pages, and I've always thought it was such a cool-looking tank.

You built it up nicely, robbio. Enough to convince me that I need it! Nice drybrushing!

Very effective use of drybrushing. Really nice and subtle weathering. Fine job.

Hey, came out real good Robbioo! Did you make any changes to the kit, or is it OOB?

Hey Robbioo, maybe it's just me, but I'm only seeing a bunch of red squares that say Mijnalbum?

Just picked this kit up myself...interested to see how yours turned out!

bronco a34 comet this time with (pic's)

Posted by Rob on Monday, February 25, 2008 11:04 AM

hi all, my laters project, the bronco a34 comet.

the kit went together verry good, only where the upper and lower hull at the front joined needed a little gap filling putty. i painted it with tamiya nato green, al light dust coat with tamiya desert yellow, and the wheels a light coat of nato brown, i drybrushed with the tamiya makeup set.

i will add some fig's, but i can't decide wich ones, the resin ones are quite expensive and plasic ones, i cant find what i want. some stowage and camonetting will come with the fig's.

hope y'all like it.
