QRF 15mm Vehicles

I made up the QRF vehicles a few weeks ago, and didn't get around to posting the photos until now.

The vehicles are all unpainted, and the minis look taller than they should against them, but that is probably due to the 2mm thick bases they are on.

Since taking these photos I have almost finished painting the BTR-60 and under coated the tanks, as well as having only the bases to finish on my North Korean support weapons.

QRF M1 Abrams and T-55 Tanks

Hot on the heels of the BTR-60, the order for an M1 Abrams and a T-55 arrived two days after the BTR-60 did.

 Here are photos right out of the zip lock bags.  Yet again my camera is letting me down, as the flash has deleted much of the detail in the hulls.

T-55

The M1A1 will be painted up in Australian colours (provided I can make it look ok) and the T-55 will be your standard boring North Korean colour, but at least that will let me use it for other nations should I decide to fight out other conflicts.

Now to clean them up and glue them together.

QRF BTR-60

My 15mm QRF BTR-60 that I ordered a few weeks ago arrived on Monday, and I a quite happy with it.

 Being my first modern vehicle, and the first I have ordered from QRF, I wasn't too sure what to expect with the miniature, and I am rather happy.

The model is in five parts - the hull, two rows of wheels, the turret and the turret gun.

 I had all kinds of images in my mind that I would have to glue on each wheel, so I was really happy when I learnt that the wheels are basically one piece per side.

The wheels were a little bent from the handling in the post*, they they straighten out easily enough. 

Hopefully I can prep the model this week for painting and make quick work on painting it soon.

More photos once I have done some prep.


*the post which was very slow - apparently Australia has a huge back load of parcels at the moment, and the posties are working on Sundays to try and make it manageable.
