Cheers, must point out I haven't finished weathering, still a wip....

 

No need to be modest Mrs. Stix, I had noticed it's a WIP :) The brushwork is excellent all the same :D

Looks a little more manageable than the 1/72nd Fujimi one I did 20-odd years ago (when I could still see!). I replaced the prop with the cockpit fan from a 1/48th MiL Hind IIRC.

 

That's rather nice Missus. Don't let 'im outdoors back in t'house, he's got work to do.

Cheers Rob, He's done the garden now so I might let him in, he's got a group build (or 3!!) on so I will share the kitchen if he's good!

I've been doing a few bits and pieces, but not as much as I'b like, so here are  some general views from above

Nice work.... Been away for a while so just catching up.....

Cheers Rob. Unfortunately I've had to temporarily admit defeat, the kit has been positively horrendous recently - if it had been my first build I would have quit the hobby... Even Stix agrees it's terrible (he managed to break 2 pieces when I got fed up and asked him for  assistance) 

Anyway this is about as far as I've got:

So, it's being consigned to the box of doom...and I'm going to try my hand at 1/35... you will recognise the kit Rob!!

It looks good though.... You moving on to the tamiya quad? That's a nice kit if you are

Thanks, we've almost run out of glue because I've been fighting the kit the whole time, even Stix says it's very badly formed. 

Yes, I'm going to have a go at the Quad - looks a little more straightforward... (famous last words) I'm sure the wagon would be better in 1/35.
