I hate to be "that guy" but why bother? I would have thrown it in the trash and moved on after slamming the seller on eBay.

Why Bother Indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....Reason for the title Jack The best explanation is OCD....Slamming the seller would get nowhere ..Disputing the purchase wouldn't either...OCD says....Make a Lemon into Lemonade ...also...OCD ...doesn't allow for waste lol...which brings another idiom into play...that being...better to make something out of nothing...than have nothing there at all or the more commonly know...a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

OCD would also be the reason for the time consuming...body torturing revisions ...talking about it just relieves the build up of the pain and suffering

I kid you not Kiaser...think this tank has strained my eyesight to the limits...don't know how I used to do it...and probably why I don't do 1/35th anymore...It's also the reason I kind of Freaked out when I saw what DNAR did in 1/72nd lol...this stuff is tiny ...gluing it together is a trick in itself..don't know when I had my fingers coated with this much glue before

YES
The glue fingers and it takes longer to come off .

I'll still complain lol..mostly because there aren't many parts for 1/16th except for Tigers ....things will be larger....which will make it a tad easier on the eyes...but it will still take time lol..............the big advantage doing this one up how it needs to be is that the "process" of making the parts will be almost second nature ...With that said...the silver lining to doing 1/35th ....is there is virtually no lack of material...you can use any scrap to make things...The two front hull Lift Rings were made with that wonderful antenna the tank was supplied with lol...it was the perfect diameter...and there was just enough to make two

Never thought of that ......It's possible....it's just a recognition tank ...A definite MAYBE

UHHHHHHHHHHHH...............NO to the flowers....but you know...I might just do pink...this scale is so small to me now...it couldn't hurt lol

Kiaser wrote:Agreed at least it will be easy to find Alpha , KAPOW BAM there it is

Yup...High Vis....so no way I can step on it or knock it over lol...Good Suggestion Kiaser...the upside is I have a lot of pink paint ...and if it looks bad...I can always go orange

Orange and Lime Green Mickey Mouse Camo

Skipped the flashy paint job...since it's just for recognition and research just went with the standard color lol








Better than it was....

CARPE DIEM GENTS

PS...Who said you can't use a brush and not get streaks

This is another phoenix Got this while away on Hiatus from the board...almost have enough parts to make a 1/16th
This was also a 2nd hand ready built...it was in much better shape than the Firefly...but the guy still assembled the undercarriage wrong...the rear had been replaced too...looks like it might of had a fall




this one is definitely a necessity ...there isn't too much info or photos of it
