Pershing makeovers........

Post by frankie »

...been working on a couple of HL Pershings.
Both fitted with a tamiya barrel KV1 tracks ( to look closer to ww2 spec)and cast effect on the turrets/hulls.
The finished ones my battler so has an IBU, servo recoil etc

The third ones a WIP Tammy Super Pershing.
The sprockets are Bulldog ones...work a treat with the tracks...the tracks themselves are a little too wide, but are within my budget, unlike the proper metal alternatives...;)

It’s just filler applied roughly with a finger then sanded back ;)

Bought a tube of the Tamiya putty and was not really pleased with it,bit too soupy for my likes,prefer Squadron green or white though they seem to have a tendency to harden in the tube with age making them unusable after 5-6 months.
But it’s a dry heat!

Man, I love me some Pershing's. They look fantastic!

I've been thinking about using the KV-1 tracks for a while now. I'd have to do some grinding because of the hull brace bolts, though.

Hey, I got an idea...
