Man, am I ignorant. Even after reading about you guys arguing I can hardly make out the differences!

Can we agree this is a tank of British design origin, and at least it's no copy of fine German craftsmanship, but delightful British?

Cheers,
Tobi

Tobi,when this fine upstanding piece of British engineering first came out,there were 6 or 7 variants using the same running gear...the 2 reconnaisance vehicles were the Scorpion(76mm gun turret),and the Scimitar(30mm Rarden cannon turret).The Scorpion was dropped in favour of the Scimitar,by the Brits,and variants of these are still used in theatre today. ...Just wait 'til Neems gets all the bits he needs....

Edit......FERK!!!!! Neems did it again!!!!!

Thanx for the info CB, I also had a look-up in Wikipedia in the meantime, to remedy my deficiencies

Dicky - now I see, didn't Mel Gibson drive one of those in the movie Mad Trakz, or am I possibly confusing something again?

[TRM]

All good CB....If the post wasn't so damn much I would mail you a fruitcake...I think I have one around here somewhere....circa 1972 maybe...a little Vino and it ought to go right down!!

[Deleted]

I suppose I'm gonna state the ferkin obvious...and say "I thought the film was 'Mad Max'?"....

[Leon]

Thanks T,much appreciated buddy .Red Frog is a lot cheaper.Going to order them.

T...my better half,bakes some of the best fruitcakes I've ever tasted mate!!!! ....How do ya think I got to this size!!!!

[TRM]

CB - Short? I am sure they are increíblemente deliciosa sir! Unfortunately the only thing us Yanks get here is a funny colored rock that weighs about 8 stone!!


Leon - Excellent...I caught you! Ron has some excellent pricing over there on the 'Frooolz'! Some other nice trinkets as well!

No, it must have been that other movie... I remember they drove on the wrong side of the road!

Cheers and good night (half past eleven here)

OK fellas,intermission is almost over.Got the mojo back and i'm chuffed.The scorpion has been clear coated and going to get her decs and some type of weathering when dry.Going to order the Fruils in a bit so i can get this build moving again and finished.Thanks for the info and laughs guys,it really gave me a boost to keep going.

[Leon]

Evening fellas,got the decs on and trying to decide on what kind of weathering i want.Will post pics later.
Thanks for looking in.

[Leon]

Thanks for the reminder Dicky.Looks like a good option.

[Leon]

Hi guys,here are a few pics with decs on.Another clear coat in a while,and then the fun begins this weekend.Still have to put the PE screen on over the exhaust.
Hope you like it.

[wbill76]

Nice progress with the markings Leon, on to the weathering!

[deafpanzer]

It is looking great! But I am not too sure about the Union Jack flags...

[Leon]

Bill,thank you.Should start the weathering this weekend.

Andy,good to hear it's looking great .As for the Union Jack flag,this is a U N tank from the ( Royal Army )

[macmcconnell.]

Mac

[Leon]

Mac,thanks for the kind comment.Much appreciated .I'm thinking light weathering.Maybe some chipping and dust effects.

Hi G,thanks for looking in .Most of the pics of U N vehicles i I've looked at are fairly clean,so some light weathering it will be.

[Leon]

Morning guys,started on the weathering.Gave the grills a wash with AK NATO wash and then the lower hull got treated with AK acrylic dust paint.The upper hull got a thin pin wash with the same AK dust paint.Would like your suggestions or comments before i go any farther.If you notice i tied down one of the antennas.













As always ACW

[deafpanzer]

[Leon]

Andy,thanks buddy .Very much appreciated.
