Anybody done the Tamiya 1/35 Walker Bulldog kit? Seems cool to me, and I am getting into more armour recently.

It’s an older simple kit and a great learning kit. Needs a little help here and there, but can be made into a very fine looking build. I built this one around ‘93 or so and it was the first “serious” kit I was able to built for and get displayed in a local shop. I added the missing front lift rings to the glacis plate, the missing stamping strips on the fender stowage bins, a mantlet dust cover from tissue soaked in thinned white glue, replaced the kit .50 cal. with one from my spares bin, and added the stowage.
I’d like to build another one day and do a few more upgrades such as tracks.

Looks great! Thank you for the information, and I would like to make one look just like that.

Ok I meant to ask this during the Zoom, but has anyone done the academy 1/800 Tirpitz?
