Hello all. Most will be aware that family life has not been a bundle of laughs lately hence lack of posts. I have been sticking stuff but that's about it, nothing more adventurous than that. I've started a few kits, put them away again but this one, so far, has survived being shelved.  |

First stage unsurprisingly is running gear and here it is.   No issues, super fit, all good. |

Upper hull is a masterpiece in moulding, quite a bit of detail already added, as you can see, huge amounts to do.  |

Thank you chaps. Big push on the upper hull yielded results. With the exception of two breaky offy bits and a handful of clear parts, it's all done. Drivers hatch assemblies are dry fit as the need glazing placed behind them. I bought a set of PE to replicate the anti slip panels but the moulded on ones are good enough especially as the launcher will cover many if not all of them. Engineering is excellent, fit so far, perfect. Apologies for the image quality, taken this evening after dark.    Ta |

Mence, this looks great so far. These are impressive looking vehicles, especially with that radar array.
Regards,

Mence, this is stunning! Man, I wish I could get one of these in my scale! You are doing fantastic work so far!
I know what you're going through with the missing part. Happens to me with every stinking build!
Keep it coming Mence; I also know how it feels with real life issues making you want to shelve kits; I've been going through the same thing. You got this man!
