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

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.

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.
