TKS tankette

  • title41
I've used PART kit. It's a mostly photo-etched kit with some resin parts. Kit was built using a CA glue, no soldering was used. I've replaced poorly cast resin barrel with a self-made one (needle and piece of plastic). Model was painted with acrylics (Tamiya and Vallejo), Mig's dark wash was used next followed by painting scratches with Vallejo colors.

WOW! What a beautiful, beautiful model. At first I thought it was 1/35! It looks like 1/72? Stunning craftsmanship, and a great paint job. Excellent work.

A real shame to have covered this one up with paint! Very skilled work on such a small build, well done. James

Most impressive. That's the PART kit, I believe? I greatly admire the delicacy of getting those PE bits to fit so well.

Nice work Przemyslaw! Very awesome project! It puts to shame that thread titled "What's the big deal with photo etch?" doesn't it.
