1/72 Airfix Male Tank

Post by bassman »

Long time since I finished something. This Male Tank was a fun project and helped to find back a bit of pleasure in kit building.

Agree with Iggie, a very nice build. They do make for a quick and easy build as you don't have a load of wheels to paint.

With that said, I have built two and I'm still not sure how to attach the rear steering wheels to the back of the tank . . .

I do like this build. You've achieved a very good rendition and the base really adds to it.

Is that the same as the Airfix 1/76 kit? ;-)

Nice work though!
