STRV 122 a demon named Azazael

[Aaron Jefick]

Hello I appear in this forum after having visited several times and seeing the excellent content of the post I decided to work that I have advanced; resume this model after several months with nothing to do for a respiratory infection, because at last a little more time for the hobby, I decided to resume this work, already half in advance but I've set a goal to finish it this month, the model is Hobby Boss, you know I like rare and modern armor. Some pictures of the actual model and a beautiful Swedish accompany this adventure:







Well an overview of the hull to see the work mounted up today, plastic is slightly yellowish glue but nothing special.











The early work of the turret:











I am continuing at night the lighting and camera on my phone does not help much, but the idea is to finish it this month. Greetings from Mexico.

Hello as I upload work progress with this model, since I started and I have to fix this:



So get to work and was as follows:







So we continue with improvements, a bit here and another there after 2 hours of work here is the result:









After protections smoke launchers, and their supports:





I also worked on a set of links that go in the back of the turret, a piece of telephone cable with pin-secured and cover the pan with cyanoacrylate brands and talc:



Presented here in its placement, are not yet attached:



And we continue with other minor things:







Well it turned out I went to check my boat from Rust Oleum and had covered, for which chooses to buy another but did not find the same so I tried with another:







More progress here after we leave ... greetings to all.

Well done the turret, if all goes well tomorrow I finish assembling the model, finished in first the smoke dischargers.

These will put a few pieces of sheet styrene to place them in proper position:







rivets view this area:



From there I went to the back that has some levers back hatch of the crew, at first did not know how to do them, until I came across a few remaining Dragon M1A1 and I put leftover bolts:





And to finalize some 3M's ​​blue masking tape:



both work here:



While working over here I remembered some bolts back boxes:



And thence to the canyon:





Honestly in the end I like finishing this boat Rust Oleum, I like to follow using in future projects, good from there to the wheels and polished and finished.



Complete all of:



And finally a photo of the turret completed:



Turns out I was going to start second painting, but as always there is a drawback and HB went with this:

The rivets down?????? : shock:



After repair:

[Aaron Jefick]

Thanks for the comments because this is the phase of painting in which I find myself missing as two deliveries and finished the model.



























Featured model:



Well few failures, perform the pre shading model, the spider patasa hull inside something strange happened to me, one of the Gunze paints are "dry" as I made ​​very thick with diluent and thought I could fix it but many problems and choose to discard the paint and open a new boat.









First and second layer of green XF-71, for the lightest green, go green and then NATO.

 

[Aaron Jefick]

Well I make the painting work ....









Follow the Green NATO ...











The turret:









The following the NATO Black ...

The third color is applied with a spray black NATO with Gunze RLM 65 gray and black after another pass with NATO Black:











Well wait for the paint to dry and go for the future, greetings and thanks for watching.

 

[MrT]

Fantastic!!!!

I have to agree, the Rustoleum makes very effective anti-skid. I used it on an "in-progress" : Merkava.

 

[Boxster]

That is looking incredible!!! Looks like you added tons of details. I am not familiar with this tank but I like it. Now, I am plain glad I didn't buy this kit as I didn't realised it is lacking so much details. Great work there again and I really like your paintings too!

Hi thanks for the comments, I commented that I started putting the pigments the idea is to make a vehicle left the factory with a few hours in the field with a little dust nothing else, for there you can also see my pharmacy, I walked with an ear infection, besides work and I did not fix my desk.

















1/2 hours and did not finish, then continued; well gentlemen we read after having a nice day.

 

[Jose Luis Lopez]

Nice camo .... and very subtle weathering!

 

[Aaron Jefick]

Master thanks for the comment and then messing the demon continued:










The turret
