Thanks Dicky.
For anybody interested and not being familiar with Amusing Hobby kits, the fit throughout has been very good, on a par with the big boys, instructions clear and very little flash. There are some huge ejector / mold stubs but they are all hidden from view.
One thing of note is VERY FEW LOCATION holes, just simple dimples and recesses. I thought when I first saw it, bugger but actually it's really not a problem, parts seem to naturally find their place, spooky.
The sprues do seem a little 'waxy', possibly some sort of mold release agent? So I recommend a dunk in warm soapy water before you kick off.
So, as my first AH kit, I recommend it, left field subjects and a decent build experience, what's not to like?

Chaps. We now at long last have the start of the colour.   Not much but at least it's progress.

Cheers chaps.
Spending a bit of time detail painting and getting some colour on the tracks then I will assess next steps.

Chaps. Suspension is in but wheels are a dry fit only for now to ease painting. Instructions state 98 track links, Prof says 97. Looking ok to me, ACW.  I'm off to Crete early tomorrow so next update will be in a week or so. Thanks.
That really is the dogs do-dars Mence love that natural sag. First class bud.
Cheers
Gaz.
