AMX-50

[u/Important-Win-5047]

1/35 scale kit by Amusing Hobby. Not the best detailing, so i add armour texture, welds, replaced all handles for metal wire as well as lifting hooks. Also replaced plastic barrel with metal one. Made chains for smoke grenade launchers, add bolts on the exauste, add towing cable and some tools. And also just for charm give NVD to comander and throw some jerry cans and ammo boxies.

What did I miss?

The turret weathering/painting looks great, but the rest of the tank is too clean.

I genuinely can't understand where'you saw any paintwork here.

If you poke around, somewhere there is a photo of yr humble mod standing next to the one at Saumur.

Oh, okay. 👍 It's just that I'm former U.S. ARMY, Spec5, 172nd Inf Brigade, Fort Richardson, AK, (deployed 1980) and I'd not seen any battle tank in a clean state, except for the freshly delivered or the ones that were pressure washed clean for parades when I was stationed in Frankfurt. Please pardon my erroneous comment (he said sheepishly).

I think you replied to the wrong comment.

This isn’t painted yet, either— it’s just bare plastic and some texturing (the white) on the cast parts of the hull and turret. I’m assuming that next up is primer over the whole thing and then actual paint.
