SPA Modeler

Started working on this one last night. Purchased it at last year's Syrcon for a great price. The kit...




Progress pics...




This one includes full detailed interior. Sadly, I think it's a waste because nobody is gonna see it. I'm keeping it minimalistic as possible leaving out half the interior items out. Meaning no seats, center drivetrain/motor, ammo boxes, and other minor stuff. Saving them as spares. A small tank a little under 5 inches long.

Cool choice Tom.

I'll be following with interest as I've been thinking of getting the Airfix re-boxing of this kit and it'll be cool to see how it goes together. Leaving a lot out of the interior seems a good idea if you're not that way inclined.

Just a neat-o of a tank, unless it opens up, most tank interiors would seem to be a waste. Carry on.

Worked on it more last night til 1 am. Pics forthcoming...

It is a fun build with no fit issues. The individual track links is gonna be fun.... not! Gonna have to take it slow with them.

You're building a tank? What the hell?

Dude I was like “What’s going on here?” Is everything okay? I keep hearing the Imperial Marching Song mixed with the clanking of stormtrooper boots.

Not my first armor build, Mike. I still have Zvezda T-34 and Tamiya Panther tank in my stash. I’m still looking to do a Perishing, Tiger, and a Sherman or two. Definitely want to add a couple of half tracks too.


Mike…. Come over to the dark side and build a tank kit or two.

Turrent done minus the fiddly bits and on hull. Front, side, and rear shots.

Leaving all the fiddly bits off til I'm ready for paint.
