Nice build mate. Tried 1:72 a while ago and didn't work out for me. This hull looks great though, lookin' forward to see you doing your magic on her ^^
Cheers

Hey, Thanks fellas! Im glad to have you all have a look see. Andy, save me some popcorn bro! I actually like mine buttered and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. YUMMY! Bill, Gosh no man!!! I got to go back to 1/35th after this or ill start having withdraw symptoms. ;D I got distracted by a movie this evening and only managed to put the other sides accessories on. But im ready to jump on the turret tomorrow! ;D Unless another good movies on.  ;D  By bbd468 at 2012-07-15 Thanks for looking fellas. Gary |

This is looking awesome Gary:). Just catching up on this. You'll have to let us know what you think of 1/72. I've never done one but I do like the prices;)

Hello Fellas, Thanks to everyone for the nice words and for following along. The Kit is indeed fun, and the detail for such a small kit is nice. There are no etch grilles or spare tracks for tha hangers so thats dissapointing. I did replace the handles and lifting eyes for more realism as they were just molded on lumps basicly. I will say im a bit nervous about the camo in such a small scale. This will be my first multi color in 1/72nd and only my 2nd build in this scale. Ill probably get out the HP-Plus AB and practice on some card. Ill post my update pics aswell as my camo options. Im all ears as to which camo scheme you fellas like. Im not sure at this point which one i want to do. Here it is as of now.  By bbd468 at 2012-07-17  By bbd468 at 2012-07-17  By bbd468 at 2012-07-17  By bbd468 at 2012-07-17 Let me know what camo you fellas like. Gary |

Thats a no brainer for me, I like the second from the bottom. Bummer about no spare tracks, But your build looks tidy bro.

Well i slept on it and i have decided to do a green camo pattern. Im affraid the 3 color camo looking jumbled (for lack of a better word) and were it a 1/35th scale i would go for it. Ill keep it simple this time and put my own spin on the green pattern. Thanks Fellas. Gary |
