Here is my entry for this group build   This is the Formation Models conversion kit, to make a Ram II Badger flame flower thrower tank. The Badger was a converted troop carrier Ram Kangaroo, the open top of the troop compartment was covered over with an armoured plate. To this a small mg turret was added and in the hull front a Mk.II flamethrower, which was used on the Universal Carrier Wasp.

Cheers Joe  . I won't be starting just yet, got to get a couple of others close to finished first  . This will be a bit of a premiere for me, it's going to be the first large resin conversion I have ever tackled  .

Now that's a nice conversion, very different from the norm.

Thanks chaps  . Steve, I did think the same when it arrived  . But the resin that this dude uses is very user friendly. Till now there was very little sanding needed, the majority of the work was done using my hobby knife with a no. 11 blade  . Some of the smaller parts (optics, fire extinguishers, tow shackles....) I'll interchange with plastic parts from the spares box.
