Thanks guys, well it's all built already bar adding the tow rope and some stowage! The figure supplied in the kit is also amazing. It just fits perfectly and I love the stance too. Once the tow rope is sorted I'll be getting the magic sculpt out to make up various packs and tarps for the turret stowage.

Just sorted some stowage for the turret using magic sculpt and various spare items. Once cured further strapping etc will be added.
