What a cracking little models they are! I am also an armour modeller as well as a railway modeller, despite not having my own layout (another story) but I would be quite happy to create a diorama with these and some of those Warflats… Those little kits make up into either a Scorpion or a Scimitar. For info, you may be interested in the following: The Scorpion was outfitted with a 76mm cannon while the Scimitar used a 30mm L21A1 Rarden cannon. The Scimitar's 30mm cannon proved to be more versatile and as such is still produced to this day. Both the FV101 and FV107 have seen combat in the Falklands, the Gulf War, and more recently in Middle Eastern conflicts. I’ll shut up now. Nice work, Dan! PS: Any chance of a layout tour one day? Unless you have already done one - if so can you direct me to the relevant episode, please? 👍🏻
Nice job (although way out of my time period)... with some more weathering these can be a good addition to what Artitec has on offer, especially if done in HO scale
I built 3 of these Scorpion/Scimitar models from Trains4U. I think the Airfix version was marginally better but these are almost as good. I had built 3 Airfix versions years ago. Painting the tracks afterwards is a bit fiddly so next time might consider painting and then gluing.
Hi Dan. Why do yo not try and repaint one of your Airfix Scorpion wagons tanks in the new colours. You will surprised how much better they look. Might I also suggest a touch of clear matt varnish over where the superglue on the straps attaches to the wagons and is a bit shiny. I prefer to use a touch of clear silicone sealant to hold things like the tanks down. Makes it very easy to remove them and leaves no residual glue marks behind. Again you have shown an inspiring video. Keep the good work up.
Hi Dan. Brilliant vlog buddy. You always make things look easy. You've made a superb job of them and they look fantastic on your layout. Well done buddy. Hope you all have a great Christmas and fantastic new year. Pete 🎅🎅
