SPA Modeler

It was quiet around me for a long time. The desire for plastic modeling was indeed available but it did not work anymore. Well, 2019 it seems to work out and I finished my first kit after years of frustration.

I hope you like it.

M551 Sheridan „Canary Cage“ 1. Sqn., 11 Armoured Cav. Reg. 1969 Vietnam

Norman, welcome back! I commented on your Vietnam beauty elsewhere and I'm glad I finally can do it here on SPAM. I can't get over at what you did with the weathering. All that dust and streaking looks amazing.

Let your mojo flow and please show us more in the near future!

very good build, love the color of the wethering and the GI´s

Welcome to SPAM Norman, and very nice work! I’m really liking your paint work on the figures and the stowage items.
Did you make any changes to the kit, or is this what comes in the box?

A nice dirty build! It looks great and welcome.

Oh that is not dirty for armor...

The Detail-Up Parts(12687) from Tamiya was used for the build, gun barrel and grills. 98% is out of the box. I painted the Sheridan with AK REAL Colors. Weathering with Abtl. 502 Oils and some ofther stuff from AK Interactive and Ammo of Mig, e.g. pigments, washes, filters, dust and mud products. Color for the figures are from AK Figures Series Paint-Set, really good color with a nice matte finish.

Welcome to SPAM Norman and congrats on finishing your first for 2019! May it be the first of many more. That is a sensational looking tank as well; I hope that one I do in 1/72 scale looks half as good as that when I can get one done.
