Little Willie ~ Accurate Armour

Work revolving around Early Allied Armoured Vehicles
Tanks played a great role in World War II. Invented by the British in World War I, the tank gradually improved in the inter-war period and also saw rapid changes in the Second World War. At one point a tank seemed to be state-of-the-art, then a year later it was obsolete.

Here is part one.



here I have uploaded the second. Sorry for the quality here but these were cheap and cheerful, quick and dirty. BTW you may want to check the other vid I have on my channel as they might be helpful on the topic, with a different approach.

Thanks for those videos on your technique. Is there an advantage for using the Tamiya thinner over others such as a turpinoid or even Mig's own thinner?

So after getting back from visiting my ailing mother, I was determined to get this on finished. Now this is a pretty good kit but it has some flaws. One being the two part chain and the way that all went together. The cover plating needs to be added after the chain is stuck on the front middle axle. Now the back end needs to be positioned over the bump on the rear inside face on the track sponsons. Accurate Armour did not really make clear as to how this should all look and in the following pictures of the nearly complete kit I have epoxied the track sponsons in place. Frustratingly the chain was not in the correct place after this set and as it seems more is revealed as one builds a kit I had to rip the sponsons off and retry. The chain was destroyed after several gaffs while trying to position everything while gluing the sponsons on and taking the sponsons off the axle reduced the brittle resin parts to useless bits. I emailed Derek Hansen at AA and he was kind enough to send me some replacement parts-(Thanks Derek!) http://tinyurl.com/7tnehzx
I then cut these from the pour sprue and cleaned everything up and glued them together. I repainted them and came up with a new strategy to get everything all lined up and in position. These pics with the green background are of the Little Willie before the reconfig.

Looking pretty damn good to me. It amazing that a box with tracks could look so cool.
