  1. @Redcoat2966 Did you ever get this one finished?
  2. @NIK122 Perhaps we need to start scratch building some new ones?
  3. The Vespid Comet has a 1:72 birdcage turret top gunsight to fold and fit. I have taken it off the sprue but keep putting off attempting do anything further with it. @SimonL The Centurion is looking excellent!
  4. Very interesting start. Looking forward to how this progresses
  5. I agree about Vespid kit quality. You have certainly done this one justice. The cam looks spectacular - especially as 1/72 is so small.
  6. @SimonL If this kit is as well detailed as the vespid Comet you have made a good choice. Looking forward to watching this go together.
  7. Great looking build. Weathering looks just right IMHO.
  8. Great work. The gun crew compartment looks a bit insecure and uncomfortable, though.
  9. I cut the birdcage sight from the PE sprue. On its own it looks even smaller. Added some more parts. I found that, sanded slightly, the hull MG went in from the outside. The smoke bomb launcher tubes are three separate items that have to be individually tweezered into place. I found the lost PE fender support stuck to the front of my fleece after a couple of days of intermittently interrogating the carpet monster so I cleaned off the fluff, straightened it out and re-fitted it. The headlight brush-guards proved an issue. The first one pinged into oblivion as I tried to clean it up. The second snapped. The sprue attachment points are quite heavy. Plan B. I made, not very successfully, some wire replacements. Not happy so I suspect these will need to be re-done. Thanks for looking in, comments and advice welcome.
