hi Guys : )
these are pics of my Char B1 bis in a near complete stage. You may see little gaps ect , but the fenders, exhaust,rear turret hatch, and the Chef de Char (tank commander) are all just placed loosly....at this point I am not 100% sure I will use the figure...It depends on how well my 1st attempt at painting him works (LOL).... anyhow.....
the main big change is that I rescribed the rear decking and many new panels were created where Tamiya basically had just one... I left in a comparison pic so you can see the difference.
the plastic fenders were also shaved down to .005' front and rear, and after they are cemented in, will cut the sections into individual pieces.
I also added the handles that lock down the lubrication panels on the lower hull and fasioned exhaust covers from .005" brass.
I wanted to add the jacks, but all my research shows them not attached to the tank.... I can't figure it out because they needed constant lubrication using sliders rather than return rollers.
In any case, I have no pics with my tank, Bourrasque, having the jacks showing
here are the pics, hope you like 'em... any comments questions ect....
as a side note I usually edit my pics into groups, or at least edit out bad ones, but I am gonna let this set fly just as I shot it in 2 sittings.... we are all friends,right?.... you guys can figure out what you are looking at.... there is a LOT of repitition... C'est la vie : )
tread
this is before re-scribing ^
