KBF´s Willys Jeep MB

[KBF]

This little work horse from WW2 will be my build. I have ordered a detail kit or two for this car, but the postman is running late...

I saw the epic great masterpiece of a series called Band of Brothers and when I saw some of those jeeps there, ebay popped up and some searching and comparing kits, this Hasegawa kit won!
- It has engine details
- Its customisable as hell
- Great PE kits avaliable
- Hasegawa quality

Here is the pictures..

Great to have you along for this one - I didn't know about this kit so will be interested to see how it goes together

[KBF]

Thanks! The kit looks nice, but the small parts have some minor flashing and some wierd moldings that needs to be removed.

Still waiting for the PE and detail kit

Update time

Photo etched parts has arrived. I orderd two kits, one for details all around the car and one gun kit, with a .50 cal M2... Might be a rather big gun(cannon) for this little car.



Comming soon is paints and some weahtering stuff. My paint stash need some more bottles and colors. Cant get enough paint bottles anyway.
Just have to decide for either Tamiya or Vallejo..

Should be a fun kit!

That's a nice set of additions

Just have to decide for either Tamiya or Vallejo..

You might have to experiment with this to decide what works best for you & your set up.

I've used both and although I generally use Vallejo I'll happily reach for a bottle of Tamiya if I need the colour match (or just fancy something different).

Others will work the other way around

There's no right or wrong answer - just find what works for you.

I have used alot of Tamiya X and XF acrylics and I like them alot. Also when thinned abit for airbrushing. But when I tried Vallejo for the first time some months ago I really liked them when handpainting. And some youtube videos makes them airbrushable with the right thinner.

Paint order will be placed tonight..
