Hey Boys. Figured I'd try and squeeze this one in before the New Year.  I'll be doing the 2A4. Total parts count..............7   Lower Hull, tracks primed and painted.  And We're off like a herd of Turtles  ACW |

Thanks Leon. Should be able to put it together tonight sometime. I'm going to try and do a 4 color Greek-ish camo on it. We'll see what happens. |

I'd have to wear a mask while working on this! One sneeze and the whole project is gone!  I had a couple of the 1:144 collectables (a Panther and a Jagdpanther) I modified into chain pulls for my fan in my room and I KNOW how small this is! So, good luck there! Jeff |

Hey Jeff, it is definitely an exercise in body AND breath control. That's a great idea about the chain pulls Dude. Bill, no guarantees but we'll see what happens. So we have a tank   I'll be starting to lay out the colors in the morning. ACW |

I think they also offer a rail gun of some sort in that scale too! HobbyTown USA has them and I almost bought one as like a "Gun in a Bottle" build for here. Hmmmmm? Maybe I will?  Keep going Jeff! Believe it or not, this is really cool and refreshing for a change! Jeff |

Andy, yeah it's been warm here too. Almost touched 50 the other day.  Dupes, Gee I didn't think of that. good thing I forgot to count them.  Jeff S. They are around if you look. I've been thinking about one too. Kind of expensive though. Todd, thanks buddy. The mere mention of paint flying around got me excited and I spilled it.....  Anyway, got some green on     Brown up next. ACW |
