I’d like to pick up the Tamiya Grenada M151A2 to build one day. It’s just really pricey for a slightly upgraded version of the basic kit.

That was the one in my list, and yeah I don't understand the price jump. I think when I added it, the going price was around $28, now I see it north of $50!

The other night I just happened to find some headlight lenses that will work on this build in my “stuff”. All I can say is that I wish that I had found them a month ago. But after paint, I was not happy with how the headlights looked, as painting would never make them look right… so with my Dremel I removed the kit headlights…



Then I glued the replacements in place after painting the interiors silver



I also added a coat of dust on the tires, then test fitted everything….



just a few bits more of detail painting to do, plus some weathering and I’ll call this completed…

That's looking awesome. Nice move on the headlights. I have to imagine you've got another day or so tops on this one.

Thanks John. Yeah, another day should wrap this one all up…

That looks superb Carlos, those lights are a big improvement!

Thank you Stuart.

Well... stick a fork in it, I'm calling this one done....



I'll get a multi photo/angle view of this one up later...

Looks awesome Stik. Packs a punch no doubt.

Thanks John and Tom!

Yeah, quite a punch… could kill any MBT in existence at that time out to 3,750 meters, or 2.3 miles…

Excellent work!
