TX-225 GAVw Occupier Combat Assault Tank

Jeremy O
Finished yet another Star Wars legion model, this time it's the TX-225 GAVw Occupier tank, from Rogue One. I've liked this tank since I first saw it, since it's a major departure from the Imperial walkers normally featured on screen (though the Empire makes extensive use of wheeled and tracked vehicles in the EU) and it reminds me of a cross between a tank and a pickup truck.

Unfortunately, this model comes pre-assembled with some major fit issues, so I started by disassembling what I could and sanding and gap-filling what I couldn't. I also added some greeblies to the hull to make it more authentic, specifically the small handles on some glacis panels and the rivet details on the front and back sponsons.

I wanted a "dazzle" style camouflage scheme for this, as I find the constant monotone grey of Imperial vehicles a little boring. I painted everything in Tamiya, Vallejo, and AK acrylics and weathered it using Ammo and AK enamels. All in all, this was just an OK kit, certainly not the best Legion vehicle I've built so far (that honor goes to the speeder truck).
