Hobby Boss and Meng Merkava 3D side by side build

[mz3]

There's going to be a BAZ in here soon. I'm probably going to turn this thread into a big Merkava building post.

The HB makes a good looking tank, but there are a lot of issues. As I'm posting from my phone, I won't get into it. But, like I said, it does make a good looking kit.

That said...



I staryed with red oxide primer, then basecoat Humbrol 84. Let it cure then hit it with sandpaper.

And then I stopped.

And then I started again.



So, I'm basically picking up where I left off. Nothings change for this model. It will be mostly out of box. Anti-slip is the textured Rust-oleum decanned and brushed on. Worked perfectly. I went back over the panel lines here and there with a needle to clean them out. Other then that it worked great. Detail part are next.
