Now Jodpur Jacques is put to bed, time to get on with this one. Base kit is Tamiyas (?1973) impression. Goes together in standard Tamiya style i.e. no issues. Just decided to do something different with this,so in goes the AK SPG-9🙂. Thinking also of a mg mount of some description in the front passenger's station, maybe a PKM...

The AK set also provides 6 full SPG rounds. My plan is to create a rack between the wheel wells.

Cheers P. I belive that on the real deal it's actually covered over and built OOB the folded canopy would hide the lack of a proper cover for it in the kit.

First bout of chipping. It looks OTT, but it will be subdued with the planned weathering. As if it isn't enough of a mess already, next up will be some oil rendering and sorting out the ready rack for the spg rounds.

Considering the age of the vehicle, I'd say that it isn't OTT . I certainly like where this is going
