I've always wanted to do one of these badboys.  Stage one and two in the distraction booklet. Some small fiddly bits but none lost to the carpet monster.  |

Thanks for the feedback guys. So, the fruits of today's bench time, so many tiny bits. Carpet monster tried but I wresteld it back. I'll add the periscope after I've painted it. It looks like a few sub assembly's before painting.  |

Ian, It's a great kit, just a little fiddly, the detail ace but instructions a little vague.

Wow what a nice looking kit, reminds me of the MENG Mercav with mine plough I've got in the loft
Did the instructions start with the turret or are you jumping around a bit

OK it was a little late to post last night, I've learnt that the kit is going to be more involved than I first thought and it's not the kit it's my level of patience. If it takes two hours per stage it is what it is. Smoke discharges where a challenge, I loved the PE though. Arial/counter messure two parts.  And with the 50cal  More later me thinks. |
