Hello,

Here it is ready for the final paint jobs after I added the unit insignia.

Thanks for watching.

P.S.: I parked along side an M4A6 Sherman in 1/35 to give the scale.

Wow. Beautiful work. This tank is ready to roll over some barbed wire and traverse some trenches. Magnificent work.

 

Semper Fi.

Hello,

I'm digging out this post as I almost finished this project.

Here's a quick shot before I do some more next week.

👋

Hi,

Thank you all for your comments and NOW! This is the time to show it all completed, achieved, painted, finished, done!

As a reminder, the beast is made up of 600 parts, to which were added about 3,400 rivets, bolts, nuts and screw heads of all sizes, plus the individual track links.

The kit is 67cm long, 22 wide and 19 high.

Thanks for looking at http://manu-military.e-monsite.com/pages/entre-2-guerres-30-s/international-liberty-mkviii-tank.html to see a LOT more photos.

Stunning work!  I looked back at the start of your project. Looks like it took almost 2 years to the day! 

 

Do you work on multiple projects at the same time?

WOW, this is not a model this is a real tank, isn´t it?

A terrific tank, with high-end painting and weathering. I´m sure this masterpiece will end up in a museum.

Thanks for sharing.
