Bullbasket Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 For anyone who hasn't read the WIP for this build, the basics of it are as follows; It was originally built around twenty years ago, out of the box as an aide to get me interested in 1/35th scale armour. Then about seven years ago, I decided to revamp it by stripping it down and rebuilding it as a Mk.lVf. If you're interested in reading the WIP, it's here; This is the finished article, starting with how it looked after the first build. Thanks for looking and comments are very welcome.

echen Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 A really quality build. Top to bottom, front to back just right in every aspect. The first version looked great but you've managed to enhance it. 👍 👍 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Nice work indeed. Those pots and pans hanging on the back remind me of a real photo from the NW Europe campaign. And the improved smoke dischargers look good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valenstitch Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Not bad, not bad at all, in fact it`s rather good, it`s that good it`s stirred my Mojo, like a slop jockeys ladle in a "Norgie" of range stew! Granto 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Very nice John, really really good. Glad to see the top secret velcro rope is still holding on. 😉 The simple base really enhances it too. As does the photography, I rather like the black background, sets it off very nicely. Great work Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Darryl Thanks a lot Darryl. It was either velcro or a liberal dollop of PVA glue. John. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed 'Morning Ed, and thank you very much. Yes, as old as it is, it's still a good kit and can hold it's own against the Airfix and SKP offerings.
