Image The smaller tank is a testor's Classic M4A3 Tank Model Kit screw together, the bigger is an m48a2 Patton monogram kit. The Patton was my first glue kit outside of a WH40K model I have. I primed the Patton elaier today and plan to paint it tonight. I think either it or the M4 will go into a diorama of some sort.

The paint is Vallejo's US Olive Drab Next painting will be the parts that call for black or sliver.

I really have no knowledge to add to this thread, but I wanted to say that my untrained eye finds these really cool.

so you don't have to paint them at all? They come this colour?

Also, photography tip: Try to take pics of them on terrain instead of on a table beside paint cans and glue sticks.

You can choose to prime them so you can paint them or leave them as they are this is the finished model painted
olive drab Image I had some trouble with the decals hence there's only two. Also reading is tech as I implied that either the Patton or the other tank will go into a diorama at some point.

I may do a M1 Abrams at some point, I have an idea for a paint job...
