O-I super-heavy tank kit from Takom. Being it was a planned tank it was another clean slate as to what I wanted it to become in some ways, especially since it was such a large kit. I added front plate armor, rear crew telephone, front track holder and made a replacement side skirt for the left side still in slightly rusting primer due to tropical operating conditions. A pretty easy build as the vast majority of time was spent weathering. Each rivet was hand shadowed on the kit and the headlight lenses I made from resin.
Plastic and wooden models made by me with over 80+ builds posted here. Be sure to click on “Older Posts” near the bottom of each page. All armor/military models are 1/35 scale, F1 cars are 1/12, aircraft are 1/48, submarines are 1/350 and wooden models in various scales. After a 40+ year hiatus I am trying to hone my skill sets as best I can while having fun. It’s been a very steep learning curve after being “out of the water” for decades!
