Nearly done with the Tamiya Chieftain I started a while back, just need to mud it up a little. I started a few of my older kits as out of box builds to skill up so I wouldn't ruin the expensive new ones.
I can see how this shit was revolutionary in 1975 but seriously fuck the guy who decided the hubcaps should be a single piece of vinyl. nearly all of them scraped off when it came time to seat the wheels in. I guess they must have figured this out pretty fast too because the Leopard 1 from only a few years later has much more reasonable hidden polycaps inside the running gear.
Also, how the fuck do you get oil paints to streak properly? every time I try streaking, the paint seems to just dissolve into a wash when i drag the brush over it. It's not horrible, but I just can't get it to do the vertical streaks properly.
