Takom M103A3 1/35

Another one saved from the shelf of doom 

I know this forum is more geared towards WW1 and planes in general, but maybe there's more like me who likes the occasional armor build 

I used to really like this tank when I played World Of Tanks, so when Takom finally released a kit I had to get it!
Its got a huge part count! But it mostly fit together well. Only a few places on the lower hull had to be filled and the cast armor texture redone.
Tracks are individual links... 5 parts per link... 80 links per side  But they do look nice!

Apart from some experimentation with color modulation I kept the build fairly simple.

I like looking at armoured vehicles built, but whenever I try to build one it feels like it's a completely different thing to building aircraft.

So, I'll just stick to looking at your excellent job!

Thanks guys 

I like it because it is a bit different than my airplanes. It also helps me practice weathering. I really want to improve on this area

Very nice!  It is an unusual and unique piece of U.S. armor from a different time of design philosophy, etc.

I've decided when I get my current a/c off of the bench, I'm going to build a piece of armor, or at least have one piece or armor, softskin, etc. on the go as a mojo rejuvenator.

Thanks Warren! Im sure you will have good fun with an armor kit!

Tamiya and CSM kits are always a joy. Look forward to your build
