Revell of Germany M-48 A2C 1/35

December 6, 2021 · in Armor · · 6 · 1.1K

One of the ROG M-48 kits built and slightly converted into a Vietnam era A2. Finished it a few months ago, a surpisingly good kit with the mantlet face as the only weak spot.

I sharpened up the bow a bit, scratched the American style bustle rack, sanded the overdone texture and weld beads off the engine deck, grafted in the engine hatch from a leftover, and beat up the fenders a little bit.

Finished with XF-62 OD and weathered with various AK washes. Sadly, I do not recall offhand who made the resin crew figures must be getting old.

  1. Beautiful build, Mark @markh
    You made a great entry with this armor.
    Welcome to this great community.

  2. A wonderful build, Mark!
    Welcome aboard!

  3. Nice work, your M-48 looks great! Welcome to aboard.

  4. Thanks much guys this was a breezy, fun build in all aspects. I have to admit I did not expect much when I opened the box as I usually associate Revell with the zillions of car kits bearing the same name. Gonna have to change that preconception, me.

    • @markh - whether a Revell kit is any good depends on how good the kit someone else released that they're leasing was - or how old their original molds are. When they're good they're very good, and when they are bad...

      This looks very nice. I remember seeing the original somwhere...

      • Gotta agree with that. I've found more bad ones than good, regrettably.

        You may have seen this on MSC, at one time a fine lively site which has regrettably fizzled out for some reason.

        Regards,
