OKB 1/72 M24 Chaffee

Post by SigEp Ziggy »

This is the OKB Mammoth Edition, the box is huge! It has all the parts plus, resin return rollers, metal barrel, photo etch skirts, photo etch tool storage for the turret and the photo etch detail kit!

Not familiar with OKB kits but it sounds like they give you a lot of extras and all in a small 1/72 package. What type of tracks does it come with? It would be a shame with all that to just have some old rubber band tracks.

That looks to be a killer of a kit! Is it done yet?

That looks pretty fancy with lots of goodies. But the Chaffee is a small tank, so in 1/72 I bet that lots of those goodies are TINY!!!

The detail is excellent and the parts are small, but I like 1/72 scale armor.
The track is the sectional style, but the detail is great.

Clean and ready to build.

Put the hull together and the resin wheel with the holes.

Thanks Guys, I kinda bounce around like a red rubber ball, I have no less than eight project going at once. When I get stuck on one, I just work on another one, bounce, bounce, bounce!

I wanted to see what everyone thinks about this.

I want to build a diorama of a military museum. In the front of the museum will be this M24 Chaffee, a T34/85, a chained off parking lot complete with 1/72 Autos and maybe people visiting the museum. As well as the M2A1 105 Howitzer from my Skycrane model.

My question is, should post the builds here, separately, or together under dioramas?
