Hi all,

Just wanted to share my photos of my PA Scorpion. This was built way back in 1998, and had a friend airbrush/slightly weather it. Not that happy yet with my painting skills.....





Model built straight out of the box, with a few modifications seen on PA tanks, like removing kit's mantlet light mount and placing an armored cover.

No markings yet.....

Regards,

Hi CommanderRobot,

Regarding airbrushes, I think best value for money yung Tamiya Sprayworks, with built-in  compressor. Forgot the price, nasa P5k yata sa Lil's at sa JMN.

The tricky part (for me is mixing the paint with the right thinner), our friends here with more experience can share their views on airbrushing....

Hi Jetmech,

Mahirap talaga ang individual track links, buti na lang sa AFV Club Scorpion single tracks.   
Ang hirap i-trim yung mga individual tracks, end connectors, etc. sa mga Dragon at Academy Shermans ko, kaya delayed yung mga PA M4 projects ko.
