Trumpeter 1/35 long track P-40 S-Band acquisition radar

November 3, 2022 · in Armor · · 13 · 1.6K

The combination of the giant AT-T mover and a large radar dish make an imposing and realistic looking model. The building process is straight forward. I was tempted to paint the model with the attractive 3 tones Russian camouflage scheme. But, I realized that the color pattern reduces the greatness impact of the model. Why two models of a kind? The first was briefly exposed to a heat source at the very end of the painting stage. Damage was not repairable.

    Very nice work on that kit, particularly the radar dish - as @dbdlee points out, that stuff is intimidating with all that P-E.

  8. Thank you Tom
    Trumpeter did a good job here with the plastic frame harnessing the PE and using little PE as possible.
