Red Shadow Tank

Post by humby248 »

Just finished this after one disasterous paint job. I lengthed the barrel with the aid of a pen and added fuel tanks from Marauders to give it that eastern bloc feel. I have'nt named it yet (any ideas) but am working on the driver who is going to be Red Scorpion if this has'nt been used before. I was stung by one in Cyprus so I thought it would be quite apt.

Thanks guys. Yes it does open but I will post another pic with the driver in it as soon as the parts for him (Red Scorpion) arrive although may need to look through your pics again Andy for some body parts.
