As I mentioned in my introduction to the forum message a few weeks ago, I'm getting back into the card modeling hobby after a 15 year or so hiatus. In addition to starting a new project or two (such as Patton's M1A1), I've been assessing a bunch of models in various states of completion that I had boxed up, in order to determine what is salvageable.
Back in 2002 (I think), when I started and then abandoned this kit, I really liked the idea of a tank that comes with it's own truck (or maybe a truck that comes with it's own tank?). I still think it's a pretty neat kit, and I'm pretty sure I have all the parts.
The picture shows the state of the kit as I unboxed it. It is in good shape, although I used black for edging. I'll do a better job of color matching moving forward, and hopefully the prior black edging will become less prominent.
The kit also includes a page with 2 figures and a bicycle to build. I had forgotten about this page until I started flipping through the model kit; I ignored the paper people in a couple of GPM models built years ago. I thought I would ignore these as well, until I found the 3rd picture I attached to this post.
I was looking for reference pictures on the interwebs, and found this picture of the TK3 on the back of a platform truck, with a bicycle thrown onto the back! There are a couple of dudes milling about that look suspiciously like the paper people. It makes me wonder if this photo was used for reference by the designer (although the truck is not the same, I think the truck in the picture is maybe a Fiat?). So I feel certain I will build the bicycle to throw on to the back of the truck, and perhaps the paper people as well.
More to come...
