The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Nothing like a bit of dirt on your pride and joy!

That's one track weathered, that's a lot of work

Remaining weathering is now done, also put together the charging socket and flying lead.
Really just the vin plates and the camo net to do, oh and the union flag needs replacing for a good one.

She's all back together with just a few loose ends to tie up like the VRN, any relevant call sign and the "Phillips" logo for the searchlight.

A little more done this morning.

Decals

The bonding of the two searchlight decals and the extra shackles are hung

It was worth the time and effort in having the plates made. Huge thanks to Dave Dibbs who helped getting the decals made in Germany and to Adrian Clayton in Australia who owns a number of real ex Aussie Army Cents and has a brand new Searchlight with pristine ID plates that he kindly photographed.

Just when you thought that it was all over......guess what we are printing? With help from Vince of course.

Did you try it like this?
No supports needed.

Nice! Even the inverted cone prints upside down.

Anyone else having to login every visit?
The smoke discharger rubber caps have a little tlc.

I log in every visit Phil if I post anything. Nice detail, better than pen caps painted black. Well that's what a certain fibre glass model supplier did to me.
Mark Hawkins who printed the Chieftain MRS can print some items in a rubberized material. Handy if some items keep getting snapped off.

Cheers JC, interesting with the rubber printing already!
