RPM Polish TKS 20mm Tankette

Here's the last project completed, RPM's Polish TKS with the 20mm autocannon. These tankettes were one of the first to go up against the might of the German Blitzkrieg at the dawn of the second world war. They are more like tank destroyers rather than tanks. The boxart is awesome too!




The instructions are not quite like what you would encounter in a Tamiya kit! As a tankette at 1/35 scale the subject is a rather small, here are some pictures along the build with stuff at the background for scale comparison.





This project marks the first time I tried camouflage because now I've got an airbrush I reckon it's much easier. Didn't turn out as I expected but not too bad! Here she is before and after weathering.

 






I thought the project was simple enough and decided to add a base to mark the occasion.

Enjoy!

  1. Hi,

    How did you paint the road wheels and tracks? Did you attack the tracks before painting? if you did, how did you later paint them?

    BTW, absolutely most excellent work, great model!

    Thanks
