M-41 Walker Bulldog

u scored on the price of the kit, so go ahead and splurge on a rattle can of Olive Drab ( i used tamiya OD-2 on my still-unfinished M41 and it looks pretty good to me)... otherwise, ur still going to have to hit it with dullcote to get rid of the plastic sheen...
welcome to the darkside, littlemoe !
before long, u may find urself irresistibly drawn to modeling AFVs and nothing else ( u'll find out what i'm talking about soon enough, i guess!)

Would it be a sin to not paint it???

I was just thinking of painting the details, but leaving the kit color alone.....

if not, what would be the proper color for this tank???

Also does anyone have any web sites that show what the tanks look like????

Tanks alot!!!!!


LOL


(sorry, just had too!!)

I was thinking of just doing a strait OOB build...... I'm a car guy, i don't know much about tanks....

The build a tank in one weekend article, in this month FSM inspired me to build a tank!!


Yea 4 bucks for a mdel is pretty cool, but a Tamiya??/ I just wish i knew about the going out of Buisness sale earlier!!!!

I built one a few years ago, plugged up the toy (motorization) holes, added a scratch built interior, etc. Nice kit that can be super with a little extra work. That was before the AFV club offering and I was satisfied with it.

Do you have references? The Squadron Bulldog book is just fine.... A real M41 to photograph is even better!

Very simplified kit that was designed when tank kits were motorized. Good overall shape to the kit and looks like a Bulldog when completed.

This is a great first tank build. It is simple and has some decent detail for a basic kit. I can't beleive that you got it for $4.00. That in itself makes it a great build.
