madmike Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just finished this little Hasegawa kit of a Crusader Mk III, 6th Armoured Division in Tunisia during 1943 which research has indicated was mostly wet and humid. Built up quickly OOB and well with all the usual and minor issues with an older Hasegawa kit. Some sink marks and seams needing to be filled and location holes needed to be opened up. The Besa coaxial machinegun barrel and aerial mounts were drilled out as well Painted with Vallejo acrylics and weathered with oil washes and MIG pigments. This was the second time I have used MIG pigments and have tried some of the techniques as demonstrated on the MIG Pigments DVD. The results, in my opinion turned out quite well. Tracks were a nightmare but look good now the wrestling with installation is done! Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J.C. Bahr Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hey that's pretty slick there Mike! I'm not much for armor, but one of these days I think I might try my hand at Academy's new 1/72 Dragon Wagon. Always liked that beast for some reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
