British Light Tank Mk VIB (Nth Africa)

[Adam Durrant]

I may be sentencing myself to not finishing any of the group builds in this six month period by starting this, but this little Vulcan kit has always interested me. I've never had an excuse to buy it until the GB came along!



The plan is to try and do the Caunter camouflage scheme, AK have a set for it but everywhere here is sold out of no longer carries it so I might just make it up. Placed my order for the kit with BNA in Aus today so should see it within the fortnight.

Excellent choice

I have a feeling this might be of use for you


Note the perfect geometry

I like your thinking Adam

It does fit my "likes" catagory along will all the mid 30's tanks

Great choice

Look forward to your build

There go my hopes of using Google Photos as an alternative to photobucket...

How about now?

Got it Phil!

I spent last night moaning about the AK Caunter Set being out of stock. Wife to the rescue, she was walking past our local hobby shop today and popped in and asked. They had it! (hence not my handbag in the photo)



It was either splash out on this or spend ages mixing weird combos of Tamiya paints in odd ratios to get the correct shades.

As usual on the back of the box there are several examples of the colour scheme on WWII vehicles. Surprised to see all but one are NZ vehicles from Nth Africa and Crete. This has given me a bit of an idea....

Very unusual subject Adam. Looking forward to seeing this one come together.

Adam- Looking forward to this build. I have not seen this kit built anywhere.

I used the Tamiya mixes with this http://www.plasticarmour.com/dorchester.html . I was really happy with how it came out.

Looking forward to see how the AK set looks.

The kit should arrive middle of this week and then into it!

I'm too lazy Shawn, prefer to let technology do the work for me!
