Taking a break from 3D CAD and printing insanity. Put the finishing touches on the old project.
Finally ready for painting.

Supposedly, there are two more straps on the bottom so I’ve added those:

Your M48 looks great. I have one on the build stash that i want to build exactly like this. I will be using the same work you’re using to build mine.

I will be using Mr. Dissolved Putty (a new (to me) product from Mr. Hobby) since I suck at using regular putty; hopefully, it’ll work.

that dissolved putty really stinks so keep a window open.

i use perfect plastic putty which is water based and doesn’t smell and is easier to use imho

WOW Your M-48 Makes mine look… well Amateurish. I built mine ( monogram kit) straight build. I don’t have a 3D printer or anything like that. But I REALLY Like what you did with yours. I’m including a couple of pictures of my completed one.

Bump, curious if you finished this.

No paints on it yet. I actually need to dig up my airbrush and compressor. Been too occupied with CADding and 3D printing.

Your work on the AN/VSS (1-3? Can’t remember) looks fabulous!

Thank you, Al! It’s AN/VSS-01. I did it like 2 years ago then I don’t have to do all that trouble anymore with 3D printing. :smiley:
