very nice Di, great job on what is only your second 1/48 build. will look forward to seeing the idf toom

Very nice Mike. I will be starting the tamiya version next month as the postman has just delivered the goodies to put on it. Guess where i will becoming for reference material!!!!!

good to see you have started this as you have been wanting to build it for a while now. will look forward to seeing it come together.

excellent work!!!!!! love the paintwork, especially the faded areas which are very effective

Mal, its not you, if i remember that was one of two areas that needed attention. the other was on the upper wings where there was slight damage which looked as though it had been done during manufacturing. these were slight scratch like indentations, which were soon filled in.

very nice. the camo is superb and the weathering is spot on

good start. Had the pleasure of building this kit myself earlier in trhe year, it was an absolute pleasure

absolutley stunning

cracking build

Cracking!!! Just the right amount of weathering. will look forward to seeing it mounted on its base.

i have to agree with everyone else, cracking!!! do like the RAF colours too

thanks for the replies guys, i think i will have to get hold of some PE to add a bit more interest, i am in no rush to get the build done.

I have just started doing some armour modelling, i usually do 1/48 aircraft. At the moment I am doing an academy M113A3 as my first attempt. My next armour project will be the tamiya Challenger II desertised, at the moment I have an aftermarket barrel and mesh grilles. The question is, which other Aftermarket goodies would you recommend to add a bit more detail? steve
