The "Clanky Tank Party" starts (Polish, French and German early war tanks)

Every party needs some "Party Animals" and I have a bunch of five from SHQ:


The three Polish 7TP's (one with twin MG's and two with two with 37mm Bofers cannon), the French D2 and the German Propaganda Tank


Work starts on the elaborate early war Polish camouflage (see above en mass), the base coat is applied, Anita's Acrylic Earth Brown (11014), Tamiya Acrylic XF-60 Dark yellow and Tamiya Acrylic XF-62 Olive Drab (see below for the close-up of the twin-MG 7TP):  


Both the yellow and green will have to be modified to match my guide and early war tank bible (see below):


Handily all three tanks are covered with nice plates and descriptions. Still on holiday and loving it ;)

    Tsold9000: Based on the Vickers 6 tonners and exported all over the world

    The Airfix Japanese Chi-Ha is a relatively cheap way of getting hold of one

    Paul/Al: Glad you liked them :)
