BAE Warrior

BAE Warrior by Airfix in 1/48 scale

been away from the bench for 2 weeks, time to get back to it, this has been in the stash for too long so its come to the top of the pile, as it were

for those across the pond, its the UK equivalent to the US Armys M2 Bradley.......basically an armed battle taxi

this is the up armoured version with bar armour as used in Afghanistan



and whats in the box lol....all had a wash, now drying

That is a lot of parts from one tank I am surprised

you get all the bits to build the interior......which i wont be doing since its going to have the hatches/doors closed.......dont see the point in wasting time and effort on something youre not going to see

some progress at last

Nice

Progress looks good. It always amazed me how armor guys could build up the entire subject and then apply the paint evenly without missing any undersides or crannies.

Excellent start! Looking forward to watching this develop.

had a coat of paint, next step is some more assembly before it gets a wash

quite impressed.........it really is taking a while to put together simply cos of how many parts there are!

still a weird scale for me cos im used to 1/35......added something for scale

It's looking good Paul. Are you going to use the cage armour?

I know what you mean about 1:48 but I quite like it!!

Nice paint! And as for the scale thing, both 1/35 and 1/48 seem like the realm of teeny little parts to me, it's just a matter of how much magnification you need to see the bits, lol.

this seems to be taking forever but im finally at a point where the next job is to give it a wash and some weathering

Lookin good.

need to sort out the weathering a bit, matt coat on top of it all, then i can crack on with the bar armour

this really is a good value kit for Airfix

Very nice. A great amount of detail on that one.

it really is a lot of plastic in the box for somethings that 1/48......over 250 parts......still got all the bar armour to scab on the sides yet

bar armour fitted.....bit of a pain to attach

be honest, i will be glad when this is finished but the end is in sight

To be honest, I'm very glad when a build gets finished. LOL

and finished.......more pics in the completed thread
