Easy 8 1/48 done

[durangod]

Some parts i did not use, too small and fussy. Did not go traditional on look went with custom. Still more i could do but im ready for the next project. USS Texas 1/700 scale.

Do i need to cover tank with clear to preserve it?

If it will be handled often then clear coat it. If not and it just collects dust like mine do then there is no real need to clear coat it.

What he said.

You can buy clear cases for model kits. Hobby Lobby has them. I bought one for my 1/700 scale Mogami waterline kit. Worth every penny of it. I don't like the idea of dusting off a 1/700 scale waterline ship model without the worry of breaking off the main mast or worse.

I'd definitely would check out your local Hobby Lobby or Michaels. You might be able to screw down your tank kit from the bottom so it won't shift should you need to move the case.

My 1st thought? Yeah I know I'm not right.

A Sherman covered with gold? C'mon old guys, you know the answer....

im glad someone figured out my motivation. I thought after a few days and noone got it that maybe my hint at the gold bars inside the tank was too subtle. One of my fav movies.
