imgur.comMy first tank model, a little bitty Tiger. Decided not to bother trying for a historically accurate paint job - just trying to use paints and materials I have on hand already. That said, I'm pretty happy with it!
My only big complaint about the kit is the suspension is very flimsy, so already one of the return rollers is bent/broken by the rubber band tracks. But all things considered it went together very well.
It's funny seeing it next to my 1/72 Star Wars Y-wing. I alllmost substituted a Star Wars figure for the tank commander... :)

Hasegawa. Picked it up pretty cheap on Amazon.

I figured I wasn't going to pay for correctly colored paints so if I'm already wrong I might as well be really wrong, ya know?

I do! I have made up a few this year.

Looks great! The dark stripes remind me of tree trunks.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised how 'effective'it feels like it would be. (I mean, as much as you can tell from a three inch model...)
