wimbledon99 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi All, I have this in my stash (well, small pile of kits) and was going to build this before I started my Chinook (now complete). I've decided now would be a good time before I commence any GB's next year. I've seen a few fantastic builds in the RFI's (no pressure!!) but not in WIP (though could be wrong) I'm trying Flickr for the first time (instead of PhotoBucket) and it's a bit of a phaff to post pictures!! Any tips on making things easier? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Fester Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Good start there and having started exactly the same kit yesterday I'm at about the same position. What are the extra details you have? I'm looking to get a much better pair of Vickers guns than the kit offering, any ideas? Cheers Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Although this kit is pretty much in the 'vintage' category, it certainly rewards a little investment of care and few extra details. I will be following with interest. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long haired david Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Back in the 1960s my friend Roger scratchbuilt an SAS jeep and the two crew I can't even remember what chassis it was. Anyway, excuse the scratchy image as the photo is so old. All credit to Roger Whittle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Doc Hi Doc, I only have the additional resin parts that you see in the opening post. This is a 'fun' build for me so I'm not going to be looking at too much 'detail' 13 hours ago, Bangor Lad said: Although this kit is pretty much in the 'vintage' category, it certainly rewards a little investment of care and few extra details.

This is planned as a quick build but I hope she comes out OK nonetheless. 8 hours ago, Long haired david said: Back in the 1960s my friend Roger scratchbuilt an SAS jeep and the two crew I can't even remember what chassis it was.

Roger Hi Roger - thanks for the kind words I realised when adding it to the RFI that it's in the wrong WIP section (it's not so shiny as it's neighbours)!
