It is with reluctance that I'm finally posting the finished product. I started this as a change from my semi scratch build in my usual 'floaty thingy' forum.
I've never built a Meng kit or a tank for 20 plus years, thinking back I thought I was daring dry brushing LOL. I have nothing but praise for the kit, the detail and fit is truly amazing. As I've said else where if it doesn't fit you need to clean the paint off the joint or you've got the wrong part.
That said the instructions could be a tad better but with patience this complex build could be be built by anyone with a couple of kits under their belt. Plus you can look at my pics or drop me a line.
So here we go ...........enjoy
Contrary to most dioramas of WWI I've gone dry. It was commanded by 2nd Lieutenant H. A. Whittenbury from 8th to 10th August, in support of 4th Australian Division south of the Somme, for which Whittenbury won a Military Cross. So its based on a village square just prior to the battle. Due to reliability issues it wont have gone far under its own power, so its collect some mud which has since dried out. Surely in August they must have had some dry weather.
Thanks for looking in, your comments, critique and thoughts welcome
