Sweet. I built one of those in 1/72 scale from a short-run model company (Eastern European). Great little vehicle.

Thanks chaps, welcome. Starting very soon but i have run out of blades which should be here tomorrow. In the meantime, a nice box of bits awaits...  First impressions are good, very sharp moldings with a few options on road wheels as well. |

Chaps. Wheels and things kind of sorted, at least in dry fit mode. Bit like Tamiya 1/48 kits, the link and length tracks are a very tight fit, paint might only compound the issue. Taken a chance and built the tracks as a single run hoping i can replicate my luck later on final assembly. On the upside, RFM give you two full, different sets of wheels and tyres plus four spider steel wheels as well giving you plenty of running gear options.  Ta. |

Great work on those tracks, Mence. I find L&L tracks to be most pesky.
