Blood for the Baron!

Hi folks,
I've Just finished building a model tank & am very pleased with the end result :


It's Tamiya's 1:35th scale model with a paint job inspired by the old Matchbox Battle Kings K-103 Chieftain Tank diecast toy.


I haven't done any serious model making for years so, rather than attempt a poorly executed realistic style finish, I decided upon a simple 'toy like' appearance using car paint spray paints.


Here's the Matchbox version, I've long been a fan of the Chieftain tank & the metallic green's a nice colour which suits its lines:


Cheers &, once again, thanks for viewing

Looking good. Tanks for posting! Hahahahaha...see what I did there.....'tanks' for...........ha....ha....mmmmm.

Good effort mate

That is an impressive effort, Ed. One of my favorite tanks too.

Thanks guys

I was half tempted to add some badges
This was always intended as a fun holiday project intended to divert me from gadding about & spending money before RORC

I did build one other model earlier this year, a vintage Matchbox kit, which was a pure nostalgia trip ...

Ohhh..... ahhhhh...... Matchbox. I remember that kit.
