M46 Korea 1951

Chris Greathouse
Rawr! Are you painting as boxtop? Watching!

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Hello Chris. Yes, this will be in the box art scheme. Hope that you enjoy the show.

Nice work, i plan on doing a m4a3 (TK45) in korea as ma next kit do u know any great sources of the subject.

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thanks Kaspar. I tend to do google searches on whichever unit the tank belongs to photo reference and possibly any unit history type stuff. I have the Concord and Squadron books on armor in Korea, as well as the Osprey T-34 vs M26 Pershing from their dual series. There is a blog that I have bookmarked where the guy has done some good stuff on Korean War armor as well. I'll post the link to that blog for you.

Kaspar Kallin
Yes plz, that will be great as i want to know as much as possible about the tank i am building.

Carlos Cisneros Författare
This guy has a good blog article on 1st Marine Tank Battalion, as well as Operation Ripper, so hopefully the first one will have you covered.

James C
This is looking awesome! Very tidy assembly work, and fantastic job on the paint scheme. 👍

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thank you James. One of these days I'll get around to starting the weathering...

Thomas K.
not to much, please! 😉

Carlos Cisneros Författare
I'm gonna keep it around the running gear Thomas. Not too much, but not too little

Neuling
👍 Will there be a diorama?

Carlos Cisneros Författare
@ Neuling. I need to make up a base for this build, but no diorama.

@ Joshua, thank you. The claws, eyes, and mouth are decals, but I had to do touch up work with paint on them due to the decals not conforming properly to all of the protrusions in those areas. The yellow base and stripes are all painted.

Neuling
And Carlos: Don´t forget to put that good looking tank commander in place!

Carlos Cisneros Författare
@ Neuling - those resin figures cost too much to leave out. He will be added once he is completed. Tank first!😉

@Joshua - I want to do some sort of rice paddy mud road or late winter thaw like most of the films and photos show these tanks to be in for my base. The antennas are steel music wire I purchase at a local RC hobby shop by my last home. I cut them to a scale 3 meter length.

Simon Nagorsnik
A good paint job!
Like the style of these monsters!
I've been planning such a painting for a 1:72 korea war m4 for a long time, unfortunately I haven't had the time yet.
Hope to compete with yours soon😁

Carlos Cisneros Författare
Thank you Simon. I'd like to build a Korean War cat Sherman one of these days. I'll look forward to seeing yours on here in the meantime 😉
