Hi all, not sure if you can count this as an 'armour' WIP thread, but to be honest I can't see where else to put it - if anyone can point me at an alternative location, please let me know! Well it's been some time since I've done any kind of WIP in this particular corner of La La Land, having been infesting the wingy-things bit for a fair while now. The small size of this beastie will hopefully mean that there won't be a huge amount of build time required, however my intention is that it will eventually be the centre-piece of a small diorama. There may well be a separate thread in the dioramas bit for that, when I get round to it. So, enough yapping - let's get a stake in the ground and share the hand I have been dealt, starting with the boxart: Hmm, ok... what about the sprues? Well, they are not big, being consistent with 1:72 scale. The chassis: Not too shabby. The wheel spokes look a little on the thick side but I am not about to scratch build anything better - my scanning electron microscope is at the mender's. So what about the bodywork: Eeeew, Flash Central! Still, that should all scrub up pretty well once I get going on it. Finally, from the kit anyways - the decals: A choice of US or French markings, it would seem. No British although the red crosses in the red circles might be an option there. Absolutely finally for now, my proposed diorama base, courtesy of Messrs IKEA - a 6x4 photo frame: That's all for now folks, hopefully I will make a start on this soon, at any rate before I finish my current wingy thing.
