Rubber of plastic tracs?

Guy Rump autor
Thanks for your interest Djordje, the tracks are plastic links, the first ones I'll try with this model. 👍

Djordje Nikolic
If it's standard Tamiya plastic links you should enjoy them, should be a breeze!

Wheels painted with Hataka 4BO Protective Green & Vallejo Model Air Tire Black. Hull painted with Hataka 4BO Protective Green. Next will be attaching the wheels. 🙂

Thanks for the encouragement Djordje, I do hope so! 👍

Made a start on the top of the tank. 🙂

I finally put the tracks on the tank. It was my first go with linked tracks, a bit fiddly but I got there in the end..🙂

Many thanks for your like and interest Jean-Louis D. 👍

BT tank by Tamiya, that will be a great building experience.
Make sure the flat part on the hub of the first wheel is on top, horizontal, this does not move with the wheel 😉

Top of the tank is now on with skirts. The PE grills were easier than expected as Tamiya provide a template for bending the PE. Driver is from the Zvezda tank crew set. 🙂

Many thanks Jan for your kind tip and like. 👍

Now complete. 🙂 Thanks for following.

Doubtingmango
Very nice build and diorama! Are the base and structure a kit or scratch built?

Djordje Nikolic
Very well done! I like the riding crew, it adds to thr scene. Is this last for the year or can you squeeze in couple more?

Neuling
Same as Doubtingmango.

Guy Rump autor
Thanks for your comments/questions mates.

@Doubting Mango/Neuling. The base/structure are Miniart/FoG kits. The main base they are on is scratch built from wood.

@Djordje. I'm hoping to complete the Harrier before the end of the year and maybe one other. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Mathias D, Bob H, Ian S, Neil & 3 other mates.
