Looks good so far Scott.

A while ago I watched a documentary on the 251 ( think it was a rebuild from scratch ) think they only had the chassis and engine and they gave it the red oxide as they were rebuilding it. This so far Scott looks so much like the one I saw. Really good progress in a few days ( there are so many machine builders on here )


Really liking the progress :rolleyes:


Cheers

Thanks gents, its not a difficult one this one and being tamiya it goes together well, this is my second one of these. The first one I did grey then re painted it and posted it here in Afrika korps colours.

I have built a couple of these myself and yours are looking very good so far Scott!


And if I may suggest something (if you haven't already thought of that) is to make the tracks sag so they will look more heavy.

Thanks Tommy cheers dude that is in hand, still have a bit of a way to go with this still.


Scott

 

[Tommy]

Yeah, that was what I thought.

Hi all here is the progress I've made so far, the masks for the camouflage are finally done, hope you like it so far.


Scott

 

[Deleted member 4539]

I bet it took a while to do those masks and you have done good work on them.


Not a criticism,but may I suggest that you check over them and make sure they are pressed firmly in place, as a few of them seem to be not quite pressed firmly.

Thanks lads glad you like it, Ralph before I put it away I burnished the Tamiya tape down with a cotton bud, not going to make that error again.


Scott

 

[noble]

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury progress, was the masking worth it I will leave it to you.

Lot of work but it sure paid off Scott.
