[Eastrock]

I found my tread on page 3 Since the 2 SMA GB's are already finished I'll be focusing my time here on the Tiger 1 and Arliegh Burke Ship... and Since I don't have a date on Valentines day :-\ ( My background Music for the week is from Bob Marley (No Woman, No Cry) and some Classic like Foreigner and Air Supply :'(

Here's the progress of the Tiger 1 painted Hull red to depict the red oxide of the tank.. will be painting dunkelgeb ( Buff + white from Erik's post)

Question: has anyone tried bashing the Academy Tiger 1 Interior to the DML kit?





Thanks for looking!!

 

[spud]

sweet. nice to see this back up and running, and i had taught about doing that with my one but then i reconcidered it because when i get around to it i want to show off the interior of that one.

 

[TRM]

Looking great ER!!! Color is real fine!!! Looking forward to your next update!!

 

[Eastrock]

Thanks Buddies!!!

I'm thinking about getting the academy kit with interior, if it can fit inside to the DML kit... and use the Academy for Rust and Dust (Villers- Bocage).

your views and comments please

 

[TRM]

LOL....Go for it!! I have an Academy full interior and was thinking of pilfering a couple item myself for a DML!! Think it will look top my friend!!!

 

[Eastrock]

Thanks!!!

 

[TRM]
