Takom M60A1 with ERA Build Album

Steps 1-7 complete - mostly. I intentionally left some parts off the top of the hull to make it easier to fix it to the lower body. Fortunately the fit was perfect - no gaps to fill!

I haven't really run into any problems so far and I'm impressed with the level of engineering that has gone into this kit. More Takom kits in the future for me!

Steps 8-15 complete. Somehow managed to make a mess of putting the towing cables? into place. I think doing them late at night after a long session at the table was the reason - that and trying to be a perfectionist!

That said I'm happy with how the hull went together in the end. Some not quite perfect fit issues here and there but overall I'd say this is a very well engineered kit. Just the turret to build now (and all that ERA) but I'm going to lay down the primer on the hull and wheels tomorrow.

Steps 16-18 Complete (Basically I've started the turret and built some of the ERA). I had a slight delay priming the hull and wheels as I decided to buy a new airbrush - the Mr Hobby Procon Boy PS 289. Then once that arrived I thought why not buy a bigger and better airbrush booth? with the new airbrush and booth in place and ready to go the inevitable happens...my compressor decided to die.

With a new compressor sorted I could finally try out both my new airbrush and the Ammo by Mig One Shot primer. Both I can report are excellent. The hull, wheels and sprockets are primed. I'm just awaiting another paint supply to drop and I'll then basecoat the hull A-Mig Khaki #071. In the mean time I will finish off building what remains.
