Tamiya 1/48 Austin "Tilly"


Recommended Posts

A little appetiser to get the "modelling juices" running again. Nearly finished so I feel confident enough to post some build piccies

Rather than follow the instructions to the letter I built the model as three sub assemblies to help painting. I'm not sure how much you will be able to see on the finished model but I know it's there! The driver is not a particularly good figure he looks like he has dozed off behind the wheel. The "clutter" added to the load area are from the Tamiya 1/48 "Jerry Can Set", yes it includes bedding rolls and packs.

The fit on this model is so good there is not a single bit of filler used on these two subassemblies, here they simply pushed together.

And here is the third sub assembly, the tilt. This DOES have a smear of filler, there is a joint right down the middle of this piece (which oddly is moulded in clear styrene) but not much and rubbed down it is invisible. All painting is by "hairy stick".
