Great pictures, John. Thanks for posting them. Thanks Jeff ! As you can see on the photos, the numbers are not as thick and are before the Paratroopers Logo, not like the HB scheme... |

I hope to get going later today, just depends how bad this stupid work day gets . I had no problem with the other parts, B16 and C4 were easy to glue. but I will use the regular Tamyia Glue for now. |

Okay fellas John has the UDSSR version so I get the cool sand camo one . Just trying to find some ref pics now  . Anyhow, after listen to John and his experience with parts C2/4 I just pushed them into place without any glue what-so-ever . Even that was a scary thing as the fit is more than tight  . Here's a few piccies for yaz . Being a very small kit it has some ferkin huge casting blocks  .   Pulled level with ya John .  More soon hopefully  |
