1:35 Scale Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog

This is one of my favourite scale model. The M41 Walker Bulldog scale model built right out of the box from the Tamiya kit.

After World War Two, the main tank strength of the U.S Army were the M-4 Sherman medium tank, the M-26 Pershing heavy tank and the M-24 General Caffi light tank. To compete with the Soviet counterpart, there is an urgent need to produce powerful new tanks. This situation and the Korean war led to the development of the M41 type light tank.

The name "Walker Bulldog" is in praise of the late General W.H. Walker who was nicknamed "Bulldog". He was killed in action during the Korean war.

The standard color scheme of the M41 is Olive Drab. Other colors used for this project includes Matt Black, Matt Brown, Gloss Red and Silver.

Decals are provided to build the tank either of the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force or of the U.S Army. I chose to build this in the U.S Army version with the number 532.

I had fun building the M41 Walker Bulldog. Here is the close up photograph of the figure provided with the kit.
I painted the eyes using needles. Some weathering had been done on this scale model. It is yet another quality scale model kit from Tamiya. I look forward to building more kits from Tamiya in the future when i have more time.
