Richie's Little Tank
Re: Richie's Little Tank
Looking back at what you started with, this restoration is a magnificent achievement whatever colour you paint it.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

Far to rare ! Unlike carriers which EVERYONE has

The markings for Normandy and 7th armoured division are a nightmare !! I put on the division HQ diamond only to find that the division I was going for don't appear to have used carriers !
Was going to go for 5th Batallion Royal Tank Regiment thinking carriers would have been used as recce vehicles.... Appears they used Dingo's

Re: Richie's Little Tank
Definitely looks better in green. I'd love to get involved again but there's no welding to be done...
I'm only a plumber from Cannock...

Re: Richie's Little Tank
There is some straightening of crumpled steel (sand guard) and the POW holder needs making....we tried with 16swg last time but it was a wee bit too thick !
Also I need to make an antenna bracket for the side of the hull, and a radio rack / variometer bracket to be made....
Lots of minor fabrication work dude.

Worlds most expensive paint ! But it works a treat and the colours are perfect, thanks to the attention to detail that modellers possess !

Re: Richie's Little Tank
Well stuck in the house so I did some "Mike" work, making up stencils for the div and unit markings !
Found the correct images online then scaled to fit the known sized boxes already painted on the carrier.
Then it was a case of cutting out with a scalpel blade (or a Stanley in my case)
Some slight cleaning up but I am quite happy with it, not quite bullfrog standard...but it'll do !

It's nearly impossible to make anything with a Bullfrog factor greater than 0.5 unless you are the man himself

Re: Richie's Little Tank
Little more done before work... The rodent has been put on hold as it is the wrong version of the rodent... Sigh !
Pretty happy with the stag's head but not 100% on the numbers... It'll do though
