Khurasan 28mm 'Sabre' lt/med tank...

...finished! I may (will) add a tank commander and some stowage at a later date (got one or two other projects that need my attention) and possibly include it in a small diorama but for now it's done.

WIP: Khurasan 28mm 'Sabre' lt/med tank...

...with a bit of wear'n' tear. Stained the camo with a heavy application of a grey filter (MIg Grey for dark Yellow) and painted a few chips and scratches. Also made a start on the tracks.

WIP: Khurasan 'Sabre' lt/med tank...

...in 28mm. Approx 140x80x60 mm in size and cast very cleanly and expertly in resin. There are eight parts:- the hull, two track units (with spaces between the wheels and nicely detailed tracks! I think Jon may be thinking of making AG units too), a turret, main gun, seperate hatch (nice deep space in the turret great for a commander figure) and two smoke grenade units. Fit of parts is exemplary - good, positive locating points for all parts - and it goes together in no time at all. If you're wondering about the very robust towing pintle at the rear of the hull apparently this is for towing the power unit for the large weapon of the planned self-propelled gun.
The design is very clean and uncluttered and puts me in mind of the concept painting of the USCM M22 Jackson tank in the 'Aliens Colonial Marines Technical Manual' and as such will sit nicely with Khurasan's  28mm Caiman APC.
