Morning fellas! Started this last night and finish it up this morning.Only problem i had was with attaching the turret armor.Ended up destroying the brackets so i need to scratch build new ones.One cool thing is the track and road wheels are one piece rubber that made assembly a breeze.I did add a Abner metal barrel and MG. Hope you like how it looks.

Leon, oh wise one that you are.... You may be on to something with these 1/72nd scale builds..... See you and I, plus more than one or two of the forum members remember when the only 1/72nd options were offerings from ESCI/Italeri. MAN THAT WAS A MILLION YEARS AGO NOW, and they were AWFUL. Now with all the "do dads" and what not's for any of this scale kits, they must be a blast to build.... Looks like fun... keep em flying

Looking good Leon.
You can't beat a decent AM metal barrel. I started using them a while back, mainly because plastic barrels risk snapping with all the handling that they get at home on the 'battlefield' but there is no doubt they look much better in pretty much every case.
Looking forward to seeing the primer go on!

Leon At the risk of "teaching you to suck eggs" as we say on this side of the channel, as you're well and truly working on the one true scale, have you ever come across this site henk.fox3000.com?Whilst I'm not saying he has every braille scale kit listed but he's not far off. Andrew |

Leon, No problem and I can add to your list even more!😁 In case you get into figures look up 'Plastic Soldier Review' they carried an in depth review of pretty much EVERY 1/72 figure set ever released from EVERY period. Whilst they don't normally do features on AFVs they do if there are a lot of figures. Check the two links out to give you an idea of what to expect; www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=1844www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2466ATB Andrew |
