I've finally settled upon a scheme, if not a detailed plan. But first a mardle Mardle- East Anglian word for a meandering anecdote 'The Brigadier had been something in the war in France, and brought a few nicknacks as he called them back with him'. Back being the family farm. Sadly all the wines were drunk long ago and his grandson wasn't interested in the taking on the farm preferring 'crypto' (whatever that was). This crypto thing hadn't gone so well and it was time for another desperate plundering of the estate. Rumour had it that there was a very special car in that barn down on Nora's field. Anyhow the land agent has brought his classic cars expert with him to see what they find.... The Scene It's going to be a decrepit barn, I've plenty to choose from around here so probably an amalgam of my favourites, very overgrown- which will be a challenge for the grasses etc. A group of men are entering the barn to see what there is in there. The Centrepiece https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ace-72273-traction-avant-11cv--138526 One of these, though as with crypto and all speculative things I'm undecided as to what condition it'll be in; that way none of us know what's going on in this build, which seems fare!

I have started on a Centurion Mk.3 from ACE I will build it as a Swedish Strv 81 with the A model gun. No bigger problems with the kit so far. Some adaption of the holes for alignment pins are needed sometimes. The biggest problem has been the instructions. Parts have the wrong part numbers sometimes and there is even missing in the instructions. I was going to add the front plate but it didn't have the part number on the instruction. I looked at the sprues and found one that looked right. I had a look at the Mk.5 instruction and it showed that I found the right part. But I like this kit. Fine details and parts that fit. I did a search for Mike Starmer's mixes for the S.C.C.15. I found two Humbrol and two Tamiya mixes. As it turned out I only had the paints for one of the Tamiya mixes, so I made a batch that I hope is enough for this model. The camera shows it greener than it is. Started to convert the fenders. I found more part that got the wrong number on the instructions. The Mk.5 kit seems to have these fault fixed. I had problems with the idler wheel assembly. The instructions are unclear on how to mount them. I glued them in the wrong position twice and had to remove them. Finally I dragged out my dead Airfix build to look at it to understand how I should do. Hopefully I got it right now. Third time lucky.
