Chaps I cannot face opening the Miniart T55 box again  . The thought of of it scares the feck outta me at the moment  . So after some thought, and receiving soem reference pics from good friend Brian, I decided to go for a BTR 152 that had an argument with an Eland 90 . I shall not stick completely to the shot up pictures of this vehicle, but they will be a heavy influence on the build. So without further ado, here's my choice of kit  .  |

Ian, you could be right that my friend Boots, cheers indeed ole chap  Pete, I think Brian might have infected me with something here . Thanks also for your confidence Guy, that is one reason why I went for this monster  Will be back shortly with an update. I can say the instructions are a nightmare, and the plastic is too |

Nothing too difficult for you Paul. I don't know Guy, if it was a normal build I would have binned it. But thankfully being a shot up one, I might pull it off |

Boots, you crept in under the radar there . You're right concerning the interior, most will be scratch and not too accurate either..... after all an HE round went through the front and exploded inside  . |

Ian, I'll try to find out the whole story. But I can say that the UN fired quite a few gympys at these aggressors without any effect. It was then that the UN decided to get some help from the South Africans, the Eland 90 stopped them without too much hassle Here's an update for you all, 2 hours of cutting, guessing, re-aligning, cursing.... . I think I have gotten the rear chassis part sorted  |
