Here then is my contribution. I'm often of two minds about building "classic" armor kits. While on the one hand, I appreciate their simplicity in contrast to the complexity of modern toolings; the rivet-counter in me gets a little itchy when I see sometimes obvious details missing or simplified. But not all classic kits are created equal, and this little Tamiya gem has aged fairly well. The kit is from 1974, which makes it four years older than me. Unlike me, it still looks pretty trim after all these years. Sure some details are a bit soft, but I'll see about replacing/updating the ones that matter, and living with/hiding the ones which do not. One such hide-able part will be the bottom. I don't really get the point of a well detailed bottom, particularly if the model will be mounted on a base. What Tamiya gave us here is more than sufficient, in my opinion. Doubly so, considering it consists of just six pieces! A few more bits still need to be added. But it's getting late, so another time.

Hello all, Finally got this over the line before the end of 2020, but I have only just uploaded the pictures. Here we go: Painted with Zero Paints Mica Red. 'Chrome' details picked out with the wonderful Molotow Chrome pen. An enjoyable build of an iconic motor. There are a few minor issues that I hope to address in future builds. Also, I need a proper photo background to make my images pop! Due to inadequate lighting, I had to use a wide aperture, resulting in a shallow depth of field. I'll call it 'artistic' Thanks for looking. Cheers, Alan.
