  1. Hi,

    This will be be 2nd build for this GB, and oldie from Airfix, my frind Mr B passed this kit to me with a condition that I must build it, I do lost the side clear window parts along the way , I will see what is the best way to replace those windows later

  2. Guys,

    No worry, HS 125 will start very soon, and finally have some time for update after my Easter holiday....

    The interior is done, added seat belts from tape.

    The fitting generally was good, however some filler needed along the seams.

    The model is painted with sea blue, and kit's decal was applied.

  5. Thanks RKic, always love some figures on my AFV

    And result is a bit too heavy for my taste..

    and batter after I reduce the effect by rubbing the surface with my finger.

    Next , Figures painting with Oil paint

  6. Hi,

    Painted with various shade of tamiya Olive green + Dark green, Academy instruction called for Forest green instead of the usual OD for Aussie M113, I kinda like the flat tone right now, thinking whether to add a future coat before decal..I will use the Academy decal.

  7. Thanks for the info Ikar..I am adding the driver figure to hide most of the opening.

    and the driver arms are done with the adding of epoxy putty, I think I gonna add part of the lower body next.

    IMG_3202_zpspod6swav.jpg

    The M113 is primed and pre shaded, I added the Aussie turret fro Academy kit, it fitted nicely, I know there are some differences between the variance, But I will not address it for now.. next painting.

  8. Guys, thanks, I will use the extra from the Acadamy for the outside marking..

    anyway, construction completed, the tamiya armor kit is quite a joy to build.less seam to be fill compare to aircraft. heading for paint shop soon

    I also try to modify the arms of the crew.. let se how it turn out.

  9. Thanks ikar, Painted the interior with lighter shade of Sky + WHite, and the floor received a wash. I do not plan to detail the interior , as I want to close most of the hatches,will not install the beautiful engine too..

    the decal is useless now, torn and won't separate from the backing paper. look like I will do without.

  10. Thanks guys,

    Ikar is right, the Academy kit is kinda a copy of Tamiya kit, simillar break down of parts but with more option, I will start a M113 first, I will use the Tamiya chassis and maybe add one of the Academy's Turret...

    work already started on the wheels, will update some photo soon..
