I might have missed something here but why is there a wheel missing from each side?

Wow, not only fast but magnificent work as well!! Looks even better than the one I did! It's great to see this comong together; I need to compare this to the one I just finished to see if I should get this or not.
You have my full attention as well.......

Ian that is because of a small mistake I made while gluing the swing arms on. Two are slightly higher and the wheels didn't glue to the track. It is however a simple which I'll do later  . Duke appreciated mucker  . The main reason I went for this and not the Border or Vespid, is the fact that there is no photo-etch in here. The detail is darend good and I reckon there is no need for the PE nerve killing agent  |

Chaps the colouring part is over .     The masking of this was a bloody nightmare  , even harder than the digi cam I did on the Leo II Revolution. The pattern I used 4 or 5 different vehicle reference pictures, there's loads of colour schemes for this and earlier versions of the Leo 2 out there. Next will be a couple of touch ups, then gloss for the few decals that will be going on |

I believe this isn't the easiest to do camo pattern but you tackled it Paul, well done.

Magnificent work Paul! It kinda hurts my eyes to look at that but I'm thinking the whole purpose of that pattern is to do that and more. It sure makes it tough to focus on it that's for sure! I do have to disagree with Si, I get a good hard edge on my camouflage in this scale almost every time. Then again, I use Silly Putty and tend to seriously avoid doing patterns like this. You're a braver man than I in that respect Gunga Din!
Rock on my man!

Mark, thank you kindly for that mucker . I used masking tape for the camo, and boy did I use a lot . This camo is obviously the urban camo, and as the Brits did in Berlin, it is meant to dis-focus any enemy eyes |

One awesome paint job on such a dinky model, Paul.
The pencil sharpener really gives you an appreciation of the size.
