Hasegawa easy Eight (Part 2).

So, I finally got round to painting and putting the parts onto the Easy Eight. i would've opened the turret but I actually forgot you could do it. I'll have to save that for the crusader I've got here too.

So, got to try out my new airbrush from Christmas (it works great!). I did have to remove the road wheel and suspension piece, after I'd glued it on. Annoyingly I broke the pieces that locate it into the chassis, so I had to level them by eye. They still look good though so I can't complain.
I painted the road wheels with a fine brush around the edges that needed painting. I've yet to put any stowage onto the tank, there's a tarp rolled up that came with the kit but I'm also contemplating getting something off ebay or amazon to add more stowage, since they often had stuff on top of the tank. I also need to weather it, and the tracks need to go on. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to "heat weld" them together. But I suspect spoon handle on the hob will be a good plan.
