Hajo L. Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 After doing a Jet, now I started some armor! This is the S-Model kit of the M551 Sheridan, with two models included in the box! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I made a lot of progress during last week, unfortunately I can´t show any pictures since I´ve left my camera at home. Had quite a funny week, taking part in a small arms training course of the German Army. We shot G36 assault rifle and P8 pistol and I enjoyed every minute of it - knowing that (thank god) at the moment the chances for me are slim to none to ever use this training in a real threat scenario. But I know that many don´t have this luxury, so my deepest respect for those warriors who fight for our freedom. The hull of the tank and the smaller parts assembled like a charm. Here you can see the model after I arrived back home, showing the result of one busy modelling evening (the other evenings were covered with watching soccer, playing computer and drinking beer): HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Working on the tracks: No single track-pieces, but pre-formed segments. Worked fine and look good. I also made some dirt-wash to the gear-section, using a combination of red and sand to simulate the red mud of vietnam. And with the tracks assembled and glued to the tank: Now I have to paint the whole thing and add the small parts like ammo-boxes and the M2. I will also rumage through my stash and try to find some crew-man for the commanders hatch. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hajo L. Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 I can really recommend this kit, fitting was excellent! Only drawback are the decals. There are neither instructions where to put them nor enough individual markings for both tanks. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
