SPA Modeler

Thanks Shark. Monogram has not released the TBD in a few years. Just a guess, but I bet it is gonna be released again not too far in the distant future, seeing how they have been re issuing nearly all their of their old kits. IIRC, Squadron made a vac form canopy for it, and I think Falcon has a TBD...

Then a primer coat over the scratch work... http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Commando/100_0225_zps3a6fe65d.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Commando/100_0226_zpsf5132ae0.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Co...

So I scratched up the details that I needed using various odds & ends from my spares bin: 1m optical rangefinder, goniometer, and jerry can rack http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Commando/100_0201_zps44e540a5.jpg then test fitted them in place http://i1319.photobucket...

I even got to the point of applying the basic camo color http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Commando/100_0177_zps7b62e359.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusherII/Carro%20Commando/100_0191_zps4cc2b85c.jpg http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusher...

So this started as a quick build for a GB on FSM using this kit and refenrces, along with the basic turret replacement part saved my build of the Italeri M13/40. The main kit build up extremely quickly, basicly taking me a few hours in one evening. http://i1319.photobucket.com/albums/t671/stikpusher...

Nice Panther there Kufuerst! I am looking forward to seeing your other armor builds completed.

VERY nicely done there Nine! Excellent weathering and a really superb base top it all off!

I completed this one last year as part of a GB elsewhere. I added a lot of scrathbuilt details as well as generic USN PE stuff to dress up this classic. In my eyes, this kit wears its age well, being that it is nearly 40 years old. Markings are from Eagle Strike for a TBD off of USS Yorktown at the ...

Another OOB build. T/C figure from the Dragon US Tank Crew figure set, and stowage from my spares bin. I modeled this one after the ones used by the 9th Armored Division, 14th Armor at Remagen Bridge, March 1945.

This was built in 48 hours for the "Weekend Madness" GB. A fun simple kit. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/stikpusher/models/100_9880_zps4844e7eb.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/stikpusher/models/100_9881_zpsba7b7949.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i181/stikpusher/m...
