That is what I got to see, T doing a modern stuff!!! soft skin armor is the trend now, probably will build one after this. Maybe trumpeter 1/35 M1132 or the dreaded Panda kit model lol when the boss said this "this is going to be epic" you might run with our money, T!!! lol

Thanks Fellas! It's great to have the support and interest along the way!! Make it that much more enjoyable!!! Great little kit, well worth the purchase. Some quirky things with the directions, but nothing that is not fixable!! ER, not running away with anything brotha'!! LOL!!! As for the new stuff....not rulling anything out!! But, when you say "Maybe trumpeter 1/35 M1132 or the dreaded Panda kit model lol" I hear...Maybe trumpeter 1/35 blah blah blah blah or the dreaded blah kit model lol!!! I have to copy and paste just to find out what it is!! LOL!! Now that is funny!!

I will look forward to it, buddy!!! you can do wreck challenger 2 if you have to, since there's a only one kills due to friendly fire or an Abrams which a lot of them destroyed by IED. just a thought T

Was already planning to post some updates but work got in the way... since we don't have any holidays not like other profession... work hard, party harder!!! nah that's the old life... it really took a toll on me... now it more a bike ride and bench time, advantage of being a bachelor.

Off to a great start T! This one's light years ahead of the old Italeri offering...and as usual with DML instructions, you have to stay on your toes a bit. Look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Don't blame you ER if you slept one whole Day!! Long shifts buddy!! Thanks G!! Happy you are enjoying this!! No need to apologize Sir jackwagon! Busy man you are!! LOL...."8 triplets"...that makes 24 Looking for a bit of a ramp up here I think!! OK, it's time to have at this one a bit!! I decided it was time to beat this up a little. Some dents, creases and just some good wear and tear... Next stop is attacking the wheels...both the road wheels as well as the front tires. The dreaded tracks need to go together and then maybe I can think some priming!!! As always, I appreciate you just stopping in like this!!
