I bought this not long after it came out last year and i`ve decided to sling it on the bench, i`ve tried the wingy route and to be honest it bought me to a complete halt!!..........i broke a small part off and also lost a bloody part (a small domed clear piece about 4mm which sits behind the mast i broke off!!)...........i also lost faith in my abilities regarding weathering which had a knock on effect on the mojo front...... i need to research things a bit deeper on that front so i havn`t given up just simply put to one-side, i do intend to persevere as i have a few in the stash but until i become a bit more comfortable in the zone that`s where they`ll stay.......
So in an effort to get things going i`m going back to what i feel more comfortable with.........a good `ol fashion WWII vehicle and somat a bit different

Well this a surprise Excellent choice my friend, looking forward to seeing one come together . You need not worry about your weathering skills, they are excellent. The only problem I see, is you don't know when to stop

Thanks chaps John.....North Africa in Yellow Jeff..........you could be right there
Unfortunatley it`s a grey kit on a grey background so i`ve had to do a bit of fiddling with my photo settings to highlight the kit more Ok....here`s where them first few steps get you, Engine and chassis has had the bulk of the work done......theres a few more parts to go on later such as the axles and poseable steering (which i do like in a kit)
More soon

Nice start and it sounds like a kit with lots of potential, steering, full engine, cries out for figures and landscape 🤣

Thanks John I did think about leaving the side panels off but i changed my mind, i spend so much time faffing about with extra detail stuff that i end up losing my mojo......hence why i have so many shelf queens , i`m just gonna leave as is for now but i am undecided about the jack legs up or down................when down it makes the model quite wide and room is a big factor in my little room

Nice start there Boots and I do agree with wingy things. You’d think that it’s basically the same skill set, well not quite and you don’t get to put mud everywhere!
