Roger yeah it is quite good - some of it is too small so been left off, and the wheel arch supports on the limber are on wrong cos I misread the instructions!!! but hey they are small enough to be missed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Wouldn't mind making another one of these some time. Extra detailing pays off judging by what you've done. BTW, how many of those Cadbury's kets have you eaten so far? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I can certainly see why that gun shield was fiddly but the detail on it is amazing!! The added detail is going to make this something special! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Photo etch can make a world of difference to an old (but good) kit. Coming along nicely. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 thanks all... the PE does add a little bit extra but yeah some of it is fiddly or lost to the carpet monster or on but bent wrong ;-)started to paint the limber just to see if the colour I have picked out is any good - plumped for Mr Hobby "Sail" with a bit of shading form Mr Hobby Desert Yellow... brush painting this one so finish at the moment is a touch patchy - will post some photos when I am happier with it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
