Very nice. I like the use of brake lines to strengthen the u/c. Very creative.

 

Have you ever read A Lonely Kind of War? A brilliantly told memoir of a FAC in Vietnam. I think you might enjoy it. (Ex-bookseller speaking)

Thanks Bertie, yeah, I`ve read it. I do enjoy reading about the war from the FAC point of view. I think the stories come over as very personal probably because they were so close and involved in the action.

Cheers Russ

Love it Russ, I must do one of these in 1/72, it should take all of 15 mins to build in that scale.😁
