Mark IX 1/50 - Duck

An earlier thread - http://ift.tt/2kJV6XB - talked about this strange prototype tank. This is the build of Wayne's Mark IX Duck design rescaled to 1/50.

The build was fairly straightforward having recently built another Mark IX model. The tiny brackets to hold the flotation tanks were a trial - especially when I dropped the container they were in on the floor. I was seriously grateful that older houses in Queensland don't usually have carpet. I'm not sure why the two added parts compared to the older Mark IX are a different colour - perhaps my printer was complaining about the heat/humidity here.

I did the same laminating and embossing on this model as I did for the previous Mark IX build. I think the card for the centre section should have been doubled - it's just too floppy as a single layer in this scale.

Regards,

Charlie
