Paul HennessyYes it does Martin. Still somewhat undecided on the final colour scheme though...
I promised myself this was an OoB (almost) but I keep seeing things I want to change/sort.
Must... Stay... Strong...

Paul HennessyBase coat time. Vallejo Olive drab misted on hopefully keeping the preshade work visible

Paul HennessyLighted tone of base coat now misted on. Next up a bit of rusty exhaust...

Paul HennessyThanks JD. There is something about Tamiya kits in general that I find wonderfully relaxing, even with simplifications etc. It is a hobby after all and for the most part for me it's about not getting caught up in AMS,... though it happens from time to time.

Martin OostromAdvanced Modelling Syndrome. Like when people fill welding seams with plastic rod 😉

Paul HennessyYeah Martin... the irony is not lost on me- but I stopped there...

Paul HennessyThanks Martin. They still need some work, but I'm happy with them so far. Decals applied, but I have suffered the dreaded silvering in places...

Paul HennessyI've spent too much time worrying about and trying to sort the silvering... Its not a competition's I'm going to take my own advice and fail, learn Succeed and Enjoy! . Time to sort out a little base for it. Might get it finished for On Track...

Martin OostromCould it be you forgot a gloss layer before decalling? Hard to see in the pics.
This kit is a joy to build. It made me buy some other Tamiya tanks to build - someday.

Paul HennessyHi Martin,
I don't always use gloss coats and don't usually have a problem- I make generous use of Micro-set & sol and that is usually ok...but clearly not this time.

Paul HennessyTime for a simple base. MDF plaque, texture added directly on top. Sprayed with various brown tones and then some railway and gaming foliage and flowers added. Almost done.

Album info
An almost out of box build.. Some work needed on the turret welds. If you are not aware Tamiya present them as recessed. Built up with some rod stock. Perhaps a tad oversize, but I can cope with that.
