After seeing some real nice builds going on here, I want in. Hoping this one will do. Starting out with:
Had a hard time tracking this kit down, had to get it from Germany. Needed this specific kit because I also have this:
Pretty different from the usual, and it’s in the game World of Tanks but wasn’t a tank destroyer but a casemated tank. The designation is made up, rather it was one in a long line of design proposals for better heavy tanks in the 1950’s. Chrysler’s 5th design got fairly far with a wooden mockup built and engineering diagrams were drawn up. For more info: 120mm Gun Tank T110 - Tank Encyclopedia
Upper and lower. Will only need the lower.
Most of the running gear in place, smaller pieces to be added later
Two halves glued. Also glued some styrene on the underside of the resin top and a spacer glued to the bottom hull for added peace of mind, I guess.
As you can see getting things to line up just right was hard and there are gaps all over the place that needed filling. Skipped some steps just to make sure things would line up the best I could get it.
The build continues. Anyone know what figures would be good for late 50’s/early 60’s tankers? US tankers is one of the things I don’t really have in the stash. Thanks.
Bro - May I suggest you ask the Campaign Leader @Annette_Dominic if he is willing to extend the build date a bit. I would love to see you build this here.
If you want to extend this campaign it’s simple. Just let me know what your new end date is and I will extend the campaign and edit the header post. Done!
