Monogram: 1/35 Patton Tank - Rat Patrol

[Dirkpitt289]

This was a really fun build. As a kid one of my favorite shows was the Rat Patrol with Christoper George as the lead. The show was a bout an american unit that went behind enemy lines during the war in Africa to harass the German army. And in this movie since they didn't have any actual German tanks they used what was available and at that time and that location (The former site of the Movie Patton) was Patton tanks painted to look like German Panzers.

For the most part this was an Out of The Box build other then some fenders I fashioned from an old Moxie can and the addition of some German crewmen. I also added an aftermarket radio antenna.
