Looking good Dave. Frustrating when the fixer darkens the pigments so much - been there before

Re: Tamiya BT-7 Model 1937
I've been fixing my pigments with sprayed Terpin (Turpentine Ersatz...err...replacement ), works like a charm and they come out looking as if I never sprayed anything on them (after disappearing for ~20minutes...that's unnerving ).
While waiting to finish the tracks of my M37 BT-7...
...I've more or less built the whole of the M35 BT-7 .
I had no problems with gaps, might have been your kit Philipp?
Best regards

I agree with Greg. Trouble is I do have one and I'm really tempted.........Greg Beckman wrote:Loving all this BT action....if I had one in my stash, I'd pile on....

Re: Tamiya BT-7 Model 1937
Go for it Vincent!
These really are simple kits, you can easily get through the whole build phase in two hours!
Oh and they are great fun, I didn't have such uncomplicated fun since I built the Tamiya IV D with the horribly wrong late 40cm tracks back when I thought it was magnificent (~2004? help me out here Philipp!)... and the BT is without the embarrassing research failures!
In the meantime I went ahead in a combined fit of creative deficiency and me really liking the white air recognition markings in '41 and painted the M35 with those as well =>
Best regards
