I am rather ignorant on the -432 series. Is this basically an add-on MG turret for the vehicle? Looks really cool. Best wishes, Ian

Things have been a bit fraught here at casa smudge the last few days, not least of which was the old motor failing it's MOT on front discs & pads. Ho hum these things happen but I could have done without the expense. Anyway I've now primed the model so paintwork shouldn't be too far down the line.

A touch more needs to be done before the black goes on I think.
