Modeling project

Takom AML-90

This is a quick post-summer, get-back-into-it OOB project. It’s Takom’s AML-90 with DEF.Model sagged wheels. It ain’t Takom’s best, to be sure, but it’s a pretty cool little subject that was perfect for my purpose. I do regret not giving it a little more love on the construction side to get some of the details a bit more character (like the searchlight’s sleeve that is soooo thick!).

Painting went as follow:

  • Primed with Mr. Hobby black primer;
  • Base coat consisting of a custom mix of AK Interactive 3rd Gen:
    • 4 parts AK11351 Wood base;
    • 3 parts AK11343 MERDC Sand;
    • 1 part AK11337 no6 Earth Yellow;
  • Green consists of a custom mix of Vallejo:
    • 3 parts Model Air 71.126 IDF/IAF Green;
    • 1 part Model Color 70920 German Uniform ;
  • Weathering was kept to a rather basic minimum:
    • Tamiya Panel Line (Brown);
    • Slight distressed overpaint with base color remixes.

One thought on “Takom AML-90

  1. I built this kit in Israeli colors and used FC Modeltrends for some of the more heavy handed details. I have the DEF Model wheels but never used them, I just ended up using the kit tires to get it off my bench.
