Thank you Phil, Widow 65 & Blanketyblank there were all enjoyable builds especially the Scimitar and Scorpion as they were fairly straight forward easy builds other tahn some tricky PE. Made me fall in love with the modelling again. 🤣🤣

I have two of Takom’s 432 Bulldog also as I want to build both versions. Pity Takom didn’t include the interior in this kit as well.

I'm doing the Scimtar later this year with the sets i need for a falklands vehicle, really looking forward to useing their sets. I plan on getting the drivers compartment for the Scorpion, i will be watching out for your builds. I don't fancy the Meng Warrior, but i am hoping they bring out a backdated kit. I have done the Acdemy kit as a 511, but would like to do a 510 thats more accurate.

I'd like to do one with the Accurate Armour interiour. My only really grip was that the right hand side wheel stations are the wrong way round, but this can be covered with mud and dust. Quite a bit of work to convert to a 511 though as AA miss out a few bits.

Not easy to find, but Super Hobby has a few.

Congratulations on some fine models ,i built the Scimitar about 20 years ago but sold it ,with many other models to what was then the local model shop in Durham, and have regretted it ever since  .The shop owner wanted them for shop dislay ,but has long since gone out of business. I will always regret that decision, your models are excellent well done 👏

Cheers Homer, I was always into WWII German Armour until I built the 1st 432. This got me into modern (ish) British Armour and I know have a favourite, the "Scimitar" I just love that vehicle. I have 3 more in my stash and some aftermarket stuff to go with them. Can't wait for Gecko Models Scimitar II out this year sometimes. Its a pity about you kits and your local store closing. I try and buy as much as I can from my local store and try an avoid over seas online stores  if I can.
