Model Military International – September 2019

September 2019 - September 2019 - Model Military International Model Military International 33

I used cyber-hobby’s

T54E1 Steel Chevron

track set no. 3864, which

are a set of full-length

flexible tracks.

Maru Easy Mud 21101 – Standard

Light mixed with a small amount of

MIG AMMO A.MIG-3015 Brick Dust

pigment was applied to the painted

tracks. The high points were wiped

with Rub n Buff Pewter.

The tracks were a little

loose so they were glued in

place and forced onto the

return rollers with scraps of

cardboard as the cement set.

A thinned mix of Maru Mud

was flicked sparingly onto the

hull representing mud spatter.

The deep

wading stacks

with the bracing

rods in place.

The .50 cal machine gun was

painted Tamiya acrylic XF-1 Flat

Black then Testor’s Metalizer

Gunmetal, applied by brush.

The base colour for the
pixie suit was sourced from
Vallejo’s acrylic range.

I have had this figure, the

Commander from Ultracast’s

Set No. Item 35008 Northern

Europe Crew, since 1998.

It stands up very well against

the new generation of figures

more than 20 years later.

The Commander

fits perfectly in the

Tasca turret hatch.
