Gee, you wanted pics and I got no comments! I guess my pics didn't measure up somehow.
So, here I am starting again! This is my latest on the two models I've submitted here.
I got some more progress done on one of my two Modern Armor Group Build subjects: the Swedish Leopard II. Here it is all assembled and ready for its basecoat:
Of the two models I started for this Group Build, I expected this one to give me the most trouble due to it being an over-engineered Revell of Germany kit. It has been a breeze to build compared to this other model: Fujimi's Japanese Type 10 model. Here you can see it after I primed it:
If you look closely at the above pic, you'll see two major issues that I hadn't noticed before this until I tried to add the side skirts to this. One: the tracks and wheels stick out too far for the side skirts to go on this. Two: I had put the drive sprocket on the front instead of the back where it is supposed to go! :facepalm
Okay, out comes the nippers.....
I removed all the wheels and tracks, drive sprocket and idler and switched the idler and drive sprocket to their proper places:
Next I re-attached all the wheels, making sure that this time they were far enough in to allow the side skirts to go on:
Here is the final shot of this tank ready for touch up and the rest of the camo pattern:
Maybe now I can start getting somewhere with this little tank without having to take two steps back for every one I take forward!
That's all I got for now. I don't think I'll have any progress to show for awhile, so I appreciate any comments. I'll reply to as many as I can before Monday.
Thanks for looking in.
