I have to admit, I seriously underestimated how popular the build video for this Tamiya M16 Halftrack was going to be, so first up, thank you for everyone who has joined in the fun and entered the competition from that video! It’s been epic. Time is running out though, so if you want to join in be sure to check it out for details.

But the question is now, would a decent paint job and weathering treatment elevate this nearly 50 year old vintage model from looking like a toy to looking like a battle worn work horse?

Join me as I take you through the steps I took to paint and weather this model that has been built out of the box!

Tamiya cash grab or Masterstroke ? I think the answer is pretty clear.
