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

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 :lol: ).


While waiting to finish the tracks of my M37 BT-7...

...I've more or less built the whole of the M35 BT-7 :lol: .

I had no problems with gaps, might have been your kit Philipp? :?

Go for it Vincent! :twisted:

These really are simple kits, you can easily get through the whole build phase in two hours! :D

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! :lol:

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 =>
