FT17

The new project. 

Main suspension sponsons. 

Tiny, tiny, tiny! These little rectangles consist of three parts, each! 

I don't like the kit part for the prominent front spring. Changing it to copper wire doesn't look to difficult. 

Sponsons coming along. 

 

 

Added screen from my stash. 

Hit some really major fit issues. The parts need a little coersion. 

Re-worked and spring-loaded the front hatch. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primed with Tamiya White Primer, then a base coat of Model Master British Gulf Armor Light 

 

Getting a head start on those pesky tracks (4 parts per link). 

 

 

Pin-wash added; tracks and details painted
