Tamiya M26 Pershing

This kit came out about 6 years ago. The OOOOhhh AHHHH feature was some spring suspension of the tosion bars. Not all that big of a deal. As with most Tamiya kits, this was great as an' Out of the Box' build. This particular subject wasnt in any of my program plans, but I picked it up for $15 so I thought I would throw it together.

 I was pleasantly suprised to see that the rubber band tracks were completely gluable. No staples or sewing needed to secure the seam and the tracks even glue to the road wheels. As usual, I painted with Model Master enamels. I mixed some Forest Green with white to lighten the shade which I later toned darker with the Burnt Umber and Black oil washes. I tried to keep this one relatively clean, no heavy wear or rusting.

 

I also have a new technique for rough terrain ground work.
