WOW where have you been hiding FAB!

WoW looking good, at this rate you could build a whole fleet, in the next year of the group build!

really nice bird!

FAB a perfect model!

ok, wheels on and the track on, and spot the deliberate mistake yes i forgot to paint the inside of the wheels!, there's nothing like makiing it hard for myself

thanks that gives me a place to start looking cheers!

Hi Mark don't have a lot ofn the B-52 but i can find out which units were operating in Desert Storm if that helps would appriciate that, i have a feeling kit kit needs a whole new nose and tail and engines, so it may not be worth it with this kit?, but ill do some more digging

i fancy making it but, my planned list is getting silly now its a good job its ayear long 1) M60A1 2)challanger 3)jaguar 4)jaguar 5)tornado 6)b-52 but i need more info on the b-52

ok, in a moment of madness i decided to clean the loft out yesterday afternoon, and found a 1/72 revell B-52 that i bought some years ago and forgot about. now i remember living in gloucester at the out break of Gulf War 2 and remember seeing the B-52 leaving fairford on a bombing run on bagdad!!!, now later on in the group build i may attempt this kit, but im unsure of any modifications ill need to make of of any aftermarket declas for the gulf, can anybody help? i must be mad! thanks mark

looking forward to this one, nice kit!

ok ive started, made and painted the bottom of the hull and drilled out the holes for the Reactive armour i didnt realise how fiddley this was going to get!

here's the sprue shots not starting this one yet but will soon

as soon as i finished the M60A1 (1/72) ill move on to this but ill get some sprue shots on this eveniing!

ok, im turning to the dark side yesterday i bought a CC LEE challanger model kit from the midalsnds airmuseum in coventry, the kit is a rip off of a tamiya kit ?(ive only just found out) but it is excelent fine detail no flash and all for £10, now i see them on evil bay for £6.50 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CC-LEE-CHALLENGER-1-...id=p3286.c0.m14 well worth a punt!

just found one on evil bay a bargin!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CC-LEE-CHALLENGER-1-...id=p3286.c0.m14 cc lee models apparently!

i know nothing about Armour, so when i saw the kit i thought id have a pop, the models is really well detailed and crisp, it includes nylon mesh and bolts for the hull and nice looking rubber track, compared to a friends tamiya panza the level of detail and crispness is the same

yesterday i bought a 1/35 LEE challanger (3) for £10 from the midlands air museum, the models is highly detailed and crisp, the instructions refer to tamiya paints and the instructions themselves look like tamiya ones, so is it a reboxed tamiya? there are others in the series, and i may have to buy them!

hi guys and gals this will be my first group build i dont know if im up to all your standards but ill give it a go, the plan was to build a couple of Jaguars and a tornado, but having been seduced by the dark side im going to build my first EVER tank, my 5year old son wanted a tank a few weeks ago and he sparked my interest, so i bought one that im told is fairly strait forward to build and oh my god it may be small but the box is jammed full of plastic, alot more than most aircraft kits of the same scale! and the box art certainly looks the piece for a gulf wars group build! so here goes!

it seems war has been declared! looking forward to this one

i didnt spot that one!!!!!

hi and welcome, to answer your question is not that strait forward, use the search function on the forum there are loads of threads, with the same question! and loads of answers

i made that model several (lots) of years ago, there's a sheet from eagle strike covering it, its worth it!, try hannants, i think thats where mine came from

thats the spirit! looking forward to this one Merv

thanks Daz, im glad i bought it now your model looks fab! it looks like it will be both my first tank ever and my first submission as a group build thanks again

ive been looking for a simple tank kit for the Gulf Wars group build and today i stumbled on this kit for £5 in model zone, as i have never ever built a tank, im after any tips on this kit i can get! was it worth the money? any problems with it? thanks mark
