Like it. Not too big and something you can really go to town on, adapting, implementing as you want.
Might have a go at their 1/48 this year.

Thank you Guy, Tommy, Pete, Paul, beano, Marco, Boots. Thank you kindly chaps. Pete, thanks for the photo. I've gone as far as I can with the bottom section before painting. I made a start on the top part of the hull. As you can see, it's a relatively small vehicle, but the detail is really nice. I intend to carry on assembling as much as possible again before giving it a lick of primer.  |

Nice one Joe, it's a kit I'm wanting to build at some point. watching with interest. Oh here's a nice bit of reference too. One of the most impressive and sharp Ww2 photos I've ever seen, and what a diorama this should be with the front yard fence!!! Mmmm I think I'll keep this one in the back of my head (still plenty of room lol). |

Thank you Tommy, Guy, Paul, Pete, andDuke.
Guy, if anyone could turn Pete's photo into a diorama, it's you.
Paul, I don't know what the Trumpeter kit is like. But the detail is so fine on this kit. I've assembled a few more bits today. I'll take a couple of photos to post tomorrow.
One thing I noticed, the shells fit in the rack is so good, that I'll only give the shells a light coat of paint or they won't fit!
Pete, You're going to love this kit. It might be me, but I think Tamiya has raised the level of detail again!

Cheers Boots. I've continued added some more of the smaller parts. I taped the sections of the fighting compartment together to allow me to hold the supports in the correct place, as the glue sets between them and the armour plates. I'm hoping to be ready to give it a coat of primer by the weekend.   |
