1/48 Armor GB (Non Aircraft)

here are shots of the sides and the black dog Tape note the indents for the armor plate

 and the front of the hull tape and hull

first shots of my firefly with the black dog Hessian tape. the turret top/side and bottom. on the bottom note the build up and tips to lock the turret into the hull and the end of the barrel I used the end of a replacement barrel instead of cutting off the muzzle brake of the plastic kit barrel then trying to drill it out to fit. Black dog supplies the turret and barrel but not the muzzle brake or hatches.

Anthony - that deuce looks GREAT! The stowage is spot on...that verlinden stuff looks great.

Sweet build!

Nice model Anthony, captures 'the look' really well.

BTW, I've finished my 1/48 Panzer IV, it's over on page 36 of the 1000 Roadwheels GB if you're interested.

Now I can get back on with my Stug III, update to come soon.

Cheers

Tony

I Like it! Did all that stowage come with the kit?

Thank you,and I forgot to mention that I added Verlinden's Stowage made for the kit

Here is my contribution to the Campaign,Tamiya's 1/48  2 1/2 ton GMC Truck :

I'm amazed by the speed at which you turn out quality models Waikong. Here comes another one.

Cheers

I have both the Tamiya T34 and the HB T34 kit, and I've been toying with the idea of making the HB one a cutaway model.

Well, I've made progress on my AB41 - most of the building is done, gave it first first coat of paint, glossed it up, and added the decal.

Mg, yeah, perhaps that 'quarter' was a bit too obscure. But I was on the stop and couldn't think of anything else. Please, if anyone has another idea, let us see. TD, that looks really nice, I even like the base. I was hoping to see the general's flag on the car though! Nevertheless, it game together very well. What did you think of the kit? Also, for every finished kit, I'm thinking of putting a finished pic on the first post below your name. Is everyone okay with that?

I like the idea about posting the pics.Boba Fett is doing that for the Star Wars 2009 GB and it looks great.

If you like it, please download it onto your own photo storage place and link it through that, thanks. I just got the "quarter" reference. LOL Overall I like the badge, but I don't know if many other folks will understand that reference.

I do like the one presented

waikong: Your badge get's my vote too.

TD4438: Love the ever so subtle weathering on that staff car!! Might have to pick this kit up, that is if it's on sale.

After deliberating for almost a week,I went with a dusty look for my staff car.

Hmmmm.......I just realized that this GB still has no badge, and alot of people are finishing up their builds or are already done. So.......waikong, we got a badge idea floating around or something, or do we need someone to make one? I might look around the net for an idea, if no one has any ideas for a badge.

I have a slight problem.After glossing over the decals with the intention of weathering this kit,I decided I really like it nice and shiny.It just looks good.I can't decide what to do.The wife says a generals car should be clean and tidy.What do you guys think?I'm really leaning on the showroom look.
