Hi all And were off made a start by chopping the lower hull of the Tamy kit & mating it up to the AA replacement upper hull, added a piece of 10th plastic on the bottom to cover the holes, and to blank off the open sponsons used the wheels from the Tamiya kit roughed up a bit and a set of Takom tracks. Added the front side bins & made a start on the dozer mountings just a couple of nuts added also a start on the screen around the rear deck will try & get some more done over the next couple of days, then its on to the dreaded etch  All the best Des  temp image host   |

Nice start Des - always handy when a large chunk of resin like this is straight and true! Can't believe it was 3 years ago, that I built mine!  [ADMIN - Not sure but has Des put this in the right place or should it be in Sub-boards? Not sure what the GB 5+ Persons board is for] |

Some nice work gone into this,me ole Donkey Walloper...  I hope that the spade/earth anchor ain't set yet,because to my eyes it looks too low for travel height? Also,I can't recollect us having that type of bonedome,when I was on them? |

Chris we started to use that style of bonedome in the mid 80s so hope it will fit in with the period when the vehicle was in use will have a check ๐ As for the earth anchor thanks I tweak it up a bit
