Valerons Mk. A Whippet - Meng 1/35 scale

[JR]

Will join the gang Mike , of course I'm looking fwd Not to those tracks. Send a shiver down my back at the thought of doing any track apart from Fruil.
Bet you have no problem following those photos of the build so far.

I've completed the main parts now and primed them. I've just got to decide on the colour now as I've seen so many interpretations of the Green/Brown colour used for this and other WW1 tanks.

I've primed with a rattle can but will be brush painting as I don't have an Airbrush.

I've also removed the exhausts, which I'd previously added, for now so I can work on them separately.

Most of the detail of the rollers will be hidden under the tracks when they're added to the model.

Chair pulled up I have built a couple of meng kits and found them pretty good. Your doing a great job of this one.

Coming on very nicely so far! That is a lot of wheels though!

Finally got a bit of bench time and made some progress. I gave a single brush coat of Olive drab to the various components and then attached them. Once this had dried fully, I'll do more brush painting of the same colour and then probably apply a light brown wash or something like that.

I've also started on the tracks. So far so good they're cleaning up and clicking together nicely. I have 68 per track so it is going to be slow probably quite a dull task, but the tank needs its tracks.

Coming on very nicely indeed!

I agree looking good.

Enjoying your build, I know the feeling of track assembly and multiple wheels
