You did a great job on this kit, HG ones tend to need the full application of filler and paint to look really good. May I reccomend anything from MS 08th Team if you enjoy armour models, a master grade Gouf custom or Rx-79G.
THE EYE WHERE IS THE EYE All jokes aside, the eye in the model should be able to move, so you can pose it however you want, id reccomend disassemble the top par pf the head and paint that all with black and hand paint the mono eye otherwise you did amazing!
I handpainted the eye already, I just did it after the wearhering And unfortunately, the eye on this specific model cannot move, it can on some newer Zaku models, but not on this one :/
@@boboscalemodels3244 It's alright, beginner mistakes and all (when I started building models as a kit I started with pulling the parts off the sprue without using tools after all. 💀) For future reference, you pretty much can't glue those parts _at all_ because they're polypropylene and don't bond with the styrene that these models are made of. :P
Interesting that you went with a WW2 armor style, I usually put pics of military vehicles since the 1980s on one of my monitors to steal detail ideas from those.
@@boboscalemodels3244 Have you looked at Kasuhiza Kondo's Gundam mangas and illustrations? those had a very distinctive ww2 aesthetic and may be really good sources of inspiration, there were also some old models of those designs made so you might be able to find pictures of them
Gaps from being a reissue of a several decade old kit, seems legit Interesting seeing armor modelers do this, mostly see mini's guys dip their tow into gunpla, and you give it an interesting spin. Hope you try more gunpla even if it's not for a video. inb4 "Do a guntank/loto"
@@boboscalemodels3244 to give warning, like the Hizakc you made, most of the guntank kits from Original Gundam are like 20 years old, even the Master Grade so expect mold lines and gaps.. There is one from Gundam: the Origin that is newer but has a different design. Related to Guntanks is the Loto, that you get in a 2 pack, it's a Gundam APC.
Hello mr. B!your spruecutter seems a bit chunky.if you would invest a few bugs in a decent spruecutter you would not have as much sanding.with sticky greetings from Brandenburg germany.faithfully yours.your modellmate.christian
Hi, very nice paint job. As a Scimitar driver, gunner and then commander in many theatres and in combat, I’d like to give you a couple of pointers where you went slightly wrong on this build. Firstly, I’m not sure why you slackened the track like the Russians but cvr/t never drive with track that slack resting on the roadwheels! Big no no! Second, mud always used to stick like glue to the underside of the sponson plates about track and under the mudflaps. Always!! Thirdly, the parts of the track where the wheels are running on always wore down to bare metal quickly including the spuds in the middle and the rear idler wheel. Otherwise this is good. 👍🏻
I think I'd get trumpeter's M26E2, M4A1 (76)W, and M4 mid production. I'd take the hull from the M26, replace it's suspension with the VVSS bogeys from the M4A1, then take the M4A1's turret and replace it's mantlet with the one from the mid production M4 and modify it's shape. The gun would also be the 76 from the M4A1. Of course all of these parts to be modified heavily for the model to actually resemble the T20 prototype, but it's the best I can think of.
The British light Dragoons used to drive into minefields In their Scimitars. Fellow Canadians died for their stupidity. Maybe make this model a burnt out wreck. I was there
That is a pretty solid paint job dude, some additional stowage or a figure would have been nice but is allready good as it is. It is nice to see you focus on 1/72 armor by the way, +1 subscriber and good luck with your next build. :)
I set my compressor to ±20 psi And I didn't apply any numbers, as I used a camo scheme from the tank encyclopedia which didn't have any (well, it did have a small A letter on the front, but I didn't have one)
@@boboscalemodels3244 ,yes they should be a lighter sky blue/aquamarine. My service was between 80s and 90s. Also we had lots of ammo boxes bolted around where the floatation sceen originally was.
