Tamya M41 Walker Bulldog

Post by jssel »

This is the very old Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog. While newer molds may be better in detailing this kit holds it's own. There are motorization holes on the bottom which I covered with plastic sheet from picnic plates. Because this kit was purchased at a show it was missing the brush guards so I made my own using Plas-Strut material.

Assembly was fast and pain free and could possibly have been a Blizbau consideration.

Markings included US and JSDF. So bring on Godzilla.

Hope you like it.

Nice looking tank. I reckon you could still purchase one here for under $20

That's an amazingly clean and tidy build! Great stuff.

Lovely build, Jeff. Classic Tamiya kits can yield great looking replicas with a bit of TLC as you have shown here. I love 'em!
