M41 WALKER BULLDOG
Let’s take a break from my customary Warhammer 40k/Reaper
minis for a bit. Exit the world of fantasy/sci-fi to enter historical armor, specifically
US tanks.
I recently was sucked into all things World War II tanks due
to a video game called World of Tanks I’ve been playing. From there, I started
looking at other tanks, such as the M41 Walker Bulldog used in the Vietnam War.
I didn’t take a shot of it out of the box, but it was a washed-out
olive green color. It is plastic, and it came in unconstructed in about 100 different
parts that you have to cut, file down, glue and put together. It’s a model tank
from Tamiya. They make quite a selection of old, and current, tank models.
Without getting too long in the tooth, here’s the mid-stage
photos…
And here’s the finished model shots…
