Australian M113: 1/16


Recommended Posts

Started a scratch build 1/16 T50 turret recently. The version I'm doing is appropriate for an Australian M113A1 over a forty-year or so timeframe.

The real thing:

The start of mine:

With spacer ring, pre-magnet:

With press fit mantlet & Aber gun barrels:

Real life has been brutal this week, seriously hampering progress on the T50.

Take three on the commander's hatch seems to be working well, thanks in part to HobbyBoss providing a three dimensional reference. Also, have started hacking up a CD case for the episcopes. Will paint the inside of the turret sea foam green so that the correct shade is visible through the epis themselves.

And a side view...only another four facets to go until the rough shape of the hatch is complete.

(Oh, the gap at the bottom of the spacer is intentional.)

All comments welcome, as always.
