Resurrection time

mr.BT-7 Resurrected

Okay, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. But I am happy to say that the Nissan 350Z was finished some time ago but have been waiting for a new camera to come in so I can post a decent pic. Sadly since then I haven't had a chance to sit at my workbench in what feels like a long time but things have settled some. And though I am a little short of my 12 models in a year, one can't argue that any number completed is better then none. I'm hoping the third victim to see completion is Tamiya's BT-7, which went together really quickly but those pesky finishing touches had put the project on hold. But over the weekend I cleared the dust off the case and made some progress: the tracks were permanently glued on, the turret top received a new coat of paint followed by weathering, while a water bucket and some homemade field blankets with straps were added to the crew's equipment. Just waiting on some fuel/ oil cans to arrive in the mail and I can have this baby wrapped up! _pL

Soviet Aerosan Engine

Mr.Engine

Put glue to plastic and paint to brush! Completed the engine for the Russian Aerosan tonight. Decided to go with green for the block rather than the usual silver or black that I have seen on previous builds. I wanted to add wiring but couldn't find any good images of the engine to base the distributor cap on so maybe at a later date I will add this. Looking forward to putting this little fella into the engine bay. _pL
