MarkC Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Hi Everyone - this is the 1/35th Bronco model. Bit obscure this AFV - so here is a link for information to ... type-63 Chinese APCs perhaps not such an exciting vehicle but I do like its angular hull -- this bronco kit goes together extremely well. fender cut off to show some wear and tear. motor burr and liquid glue used to roughen up the steel plates cheers Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Nice build of a very uncommon vehicle. I've got the APC version on my to-do list. Look forward to seeing some pics of the finished kit. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarkC Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Hi Holmes - thanks again :) This is construction of the hull completed and Primer applied paint soon ! cheers Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The primer certainly picks out the nice deatils and makes it come alive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkC Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 thanks again Holmes - im glad you like this wierd piece of armour !! Ok paint is on. Started with a brown black base , then a layer of hairspray, then the sand camo colour, and scrub away with a brush. So this is the initial steps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkC Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) The more interesting stages. Add the paint damage in a more detailed way using a fine brush. Then using the AK dust product a series of streaks are painted onto the hull. Using the thinner streaks are blended and softened. Oil spills and stains added - I prefer to use a toothpick and stipple this on instead of using a brush. Pigments and oil effects on lower hull How it is so far Im working on tracks and running gear now. The tracks are quite fantastic on this kit - simply clicking together. Using the tamiya nato black airbrushed on as a primer. The track wash is applied. and pigments added on the tracks the road wheels hacked up using a hacksaw and painted german grey some more soon - thanks guys Mark :) Edited August 27, 2011 by MarkC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vimana Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Great job. Did you have any trouble with the clickable tracks? I've heard they don't stay together very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
