The infantry squad was painted with the same camo as the tank just by painstaking hand brushing every single piece. and it was done.įew weeks (I think) after the completion of the tank, i started to do the diorama build with UCHG Anti MS Squad Set (Thanks to Gentei Kits for finding one). (Some custom made markings which printed from Samueldecals)Īfter the camo is done, painted some minor details with red for the signal lights and silver at some places with some very light sand weathering. (For additional accessories, i bought Tamiya 1/35 Modern U.S Military Equipment to put around the tank and at the railings) I don’t use all the etching parts for this tank as some it really small and troublesome to put ( i looking at those PE smoke grenade canister >.> ) but one thing i like to point out that don’t use super glue for the clear parts like the headlamps as it will fog up the clear parts. Added a plastic grill on the top of the compartment so it doesn’t look hollow. The color i use for this was Tamiya Nato Green, Nato Brown, Nato Black and Buff.īeside the camo work, i done scratch building cargo compartment in the rear of the tank which made of 2mm pla-plate (which was way too thick for this job) with tamiya epoxy putty to fill up the rest and split the door in half so it can open/close. I have to do twice tho since in my first try, i feel that the pattern is too spaced out from each other which by the time the second round of camo painting, the preshading is essentially non-existent. In camo painting stage, i do freehand airbrush since i can’t really plan out the pattern but do need to do some masking to get those hard edges pattern by using a small piece of paper and finger (yep, have “fun” cleaning painted fingers :/). I first apply primer and preshading it before painting up the camo. This project started with the tank which was from Bandai 1/35 scale U.C Hardgraph E.F.G.F M61A5 Main Battle Tank “Semovente” Phantom Element that originally come in tan color which for me kinda dull so i decide to spice it up with stripe camo that inspired by Malaysian Royal Armoured Corps specifically the PT-91M. (PT-91M MBT Pendekar which i based it on this project) This actually a revisit of my last year project which was the one of the most difficult and rewarding project that i have undertaken to date as there alot stuff i haven’t done before at that time like camo painting, diorama building, airbrush control and figure painting.
