Jssel's Saladin Mk.2

[TimJ]

Great work so far Jeff.

Nearing hour six. Hate to disappoint but chose Bronze Green.

Overview



Chassis and wheels



Not doing to much with weathering choosing to show off the looks of the vehicle. But some wash and dry brushing are in order just because it is an AFV.

Coming up on hour seven.

Overview



Time for gloss and decals






Settling in on option 4 on the instruction sheet. Apologies for not being up on the British Army so I can not tell you the unit right off.

I am calling this one at eight hours.

Overview



Closer shots






All and all a nice kit. For once I did not get fumbly fingered at the end. And, I didn't continuely drop parts on the floor to feed the carpet monster.

Wonder if I can squeeze in another before the end of the month.

Nice one Jeff! A sweet AFV nicely finished - in only 8 hours and had some scratch-built detail added.
Well done, mate!

Bronze green always looks good, unless you're in a desert

[TimJ]

Great build Jeff. Eight hours, that's what you call a Blitz!

[Jagewa]

16 hours left, heck you can fit another in today

Remember: "Fish are friends, not food"

Great work Jeff, the Saladin is a nice looking vehicle, one of those where the proportions seem right.

Do you use the Tamiya Fine Surface primer as a primer or a spot filler?

Cheers
Jim

[jssel]

Thanks everyone.

@Jim. I use the Tamiya Surface Primer as a final application on seam lines and other flaws. Usually a very fine sanding after is all that is needed. On this build, I used PVA glue to fill in some areas.

Nice one, Jeff! Now, you've still time for another today.....
