M48A3 Patton

[Bob C]

This is the old 1/35 scale Tamiya M48A3.
Started this just before I went on holiday.
It's an old kit so started by filling all the holes in the lower hull to take motor.
It will be finished as a USMC tank in Vietnam hopefully.

Hi Bob,
It looks like it will be another oldie turned into a goodie in your hands.
Will be nice to see at whichever meeting it is ready for.

I agree with Kev.

[Bob C]

Lower hull done, made a start with the turret, I'm using some parts from an AFV  club M48 which will be used for another project.

Very nice.

[chriswil42]

Looking good Bob.

Another creation from the "Hutton-Cranswick" Tank Factory. Will it be let loose at Keighley?
Nice work.

[Bob C]

Not for keighley, I'm on 1:1 decorating duties, but still managed to add some sandbags to the turret, make a cover for the light and prime it.

[Bigkev]

I see what you mean about the "added protection" to the turret. I suppose it hampered the effectiveness of the tank quite somewhat.
Looking good so far.
