You guys are the best and are helping to fix what hasn't been a good year at all at the bench. This kit will have cost around £55 to build with the etch and the Fruils but has been worth every penny Seriously recommend getting one if you haven't already got one either variant will be great Chris, some nice chipping around then edges in the two photo above mate, be nice to replicate them eh? No progress tonight as a bit pooped after a very hot day in the van, instead I was picking up dog poo in the garden at gone ten tonight Tomorrow I'll start stripping them bins back for the PE |

Thank you Dan Second stowage bin all done  Rear mud flaps in place  No use have the phone cable if it's not connected to the turret so I just added some more wire to do the job  Well that's it for today chaps. Only the front mud flaps and two fire extinguishers left to do befor the paint covers up all that hard but enjoyable work |

Fantastic build there!
It's almost a shame to cover all that work with paint.

Isn't the look of so much metal on a plastic kit just lovely?
Beautiful model of an appealing little tank. On to the paint shop!
Cheers,
Tobi
