Shermaniac Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Started on 1st April 2017 Finished on 21st April 2017 My absolute favourite build this year and a most long awaited model of a British Classic from the last 40+ years There are some hidden twists in the box as you can build almost any vehicle from the 1970's to the 1990's but the parts that should be used/not used are not made clear. If you want to see more, the full build is here 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagtail Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 A great start to what I'm sure will be a long run of these and I can't wait for each and every one!. Mines literally on the way great to see some classic British armour available (at a reasonable price anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Nice build, not normally into modern armour. Like many I did my H license in a 432, I'm tempted to get one and convert into a up armoured Bulldog my Iraq taxi. just had a look on the net and Takom are going to release a bulldog sometime this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromwell Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 An Iraqi battle taxi bulldog. I'll have to keep an eye open for that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Cracking job and love the interior! It's great to finally see a plastic version of the 432. There's been one lurking practically everywhere the British Army has served for goodness knows how long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cromwell Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Long time coming. There's something punchy looking about it. Maybe I'm biased toward British armour. But I think it's better looking than the m113 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan-o Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 At last one done and dusted! Very nice and as you said you can let your creative juices flow regarding bins and baskets etc. Every crew had their own bits and pieces added on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wogga Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I am as excited as you absolutely brilliant, one minor observation Takom has overlooked the bridge classification decal which all needed, a 300mm 'ish circle yellow or grey background with16 in black. Nice to see a finished model i have two on the way. Thanks for the link to your build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
