Can't think of a catchy title yet but will change the title when inspiration strikes!

Have had Tamiya's 166 Schwimmwagen in the stash for a while and have purchased the matching "recon" figure set from Tamiya. The heads are OK but have decided to have a go with Hornet aftermarket heads. AK Interactive will supply acrylic resin water and effects to put the vehicle in its element.

Similar to Raoul I found the build easy, the fit perfect and the detail good. After about 2hrs of steady cutting, sanding and gluing I have this;



I should be able to shoot primer later tonight and then put on the first top coat tomorrow. Still looking for a suitable base to contain the "water".

Wow

An Aqua GB is being born

Looking very quick

Should be finished before you know it, then the figures

Fun fun fun

Looking good Adam. I'll be very interested in how the AK water turns out.

Managed to prime last night and paint a three tone camo scheme today. Did the camo free hand so it's a bit heavy, my excuse is the schemes were applied in the field at a unit level so some artistic license is allowed. Once dry I gave it a coat of Future. Will post some pics tomorrow once decals are on and my camera has recharged!

Another Schwimmwagen....nice

Makes me want to finish mine...once I'm back home that is

Best regards from beneath the Matterhorn,

Such a cool looking vehicle

Would be fun to own one

Looking forward to seeing how you tackle the water and how the AK product performs

All painted over the weekend, just got some details (tarp etc) to pick out. Quick coat of gloss clear and decals went on flawlessly. Hopefully get a satin coat on next, pick put some details and start on the figures!

That was quick!

Where do you blokes get the time?! I am lucky to score half a dozen hours a week, and not all in one hit

Me too Woody

Still, it looks really good Adam

Looking forward to your figures and base

That looks great
