Toon Tanks! (Meng KT)

[Edbert]

This was a lot of fun! I'm not happy with the tracks, but the rest of it was great.

I'm sounding like it is finished here, it was a fast build, but I've just clear coated it.

The above pics are before clear coat of course. About to start on the stickers.

Well I like it. Looks fun.

Yeah, thats cool. Nice paint job too.

This kit was a great choice, sort of like a pallet cleanser. It was an impulse buy during a recent 20%-off Meng sale. Very happy I decided to do it and am thinking I should make more toons.

The tracks fit tight, which is okay except the wheels are not stable enough. The balkenkreuz all had registration issues too. Not gonna sweat those things on a dang toontank. It says good morning on the front and good night on the back, hahaha.

Just taking a break before I start weathering.

A few washes, and some primitive drybrushing, followed by a matte and I'm putting this into the done column. I did nothing to the tracks, not a fan of their looks, just didn't want to put forth the effort.

I do not think that modern German flag is historically accurate (snicker), I did consider cutting it off.

I may go back and do something with the tracks, or make the vision ports/periscopes silver or something, maybe.

It looks superb! I've built two of these and the tracks are a right pain!
