There’s a coincidence, I was reading about these being used in the Falklands War only today! Looking forward to it  |

Don't see these built very often. Did one myself some time ago (not sure when) came out like this.
Looking forward to your magic being worked on yours. Tim

Okay chaps, we have a start . Lower hull with sussies on, a few bits on the upper hull are on and a mounting plate for the driver is in place. As you will have guessed I'm going to add some figures to this. The figures are from Red Zebra, thank you kindly Paul  . Before I fitted the upper hull to the lower, I checked how the driver would fit. Unfortunately it is not possible to get the driver into this kit from the top. So I sorted a mount for him from the inside of the tank . It's quite simple to do, first just add a length of strip from the front of the inner upper hull. Then add a small support to keep it straight. After that glue the figure to another piece of strip, paint it and add through the turret hole .       This build will not be straight OOB, I have seen a few things that need correcting already , including the main gun  |

Not straight OOB? Not like you Paul to add all sorts of extra detailing. No wait, I don't think you've ever built anything straight OOB. Nice start with the driver buddy.

Nice start mate, yes the kit's a good one but a bit of extra detailing is always a good thing.

Here's a little more for yaz all . The turret halves are only dry fit, needed to know where to put the supports for the figgies   |
