German Assault Pioneer Team & Goliath Set	Tamiya, 1/35 scale
by Brett Green

Description

It's not often that I build and paint a model plus three figures in two days, but that is exactly what happened with this test shot of Tamiya's forthcoming 1/35 scale German Assault Pioneer Team & Goliath Set, Kit No. 35357.

The Goliath itself is very small but despite its diminutive size Tamiya has supplied link and length tracks plus a cable drum that can be displayed beneath an open hatch if you like.

I assembled the tracks into four sections, which permitted me to paint the tracks and main vehicle separately.

The Goliath was assembled in a couple of hours and it was painted using Mission Models' acrylic Dark Yellow applied with Meng's new airbrush, which I have been testing out too. Figures were mostly painted using Vallejo acrylics.

This was a fun little project. I'll be writing this one up for Issue 142 of Model Military International magazine.

Thanks to Tamiya Japan for the sample
