Here is a build I started back in August last year and I’ve just finished! It cost about £12 so I forked out a PE set to spaz it up and a Quinta studio set too! I forgot that I took some pictures along the way so thought I’d share coz who doesn’t like a few picture ![](https://www.allsmileys.com/files/emoji/e409.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/tqCFpNk/874-FB098-FBDF-41-BE-9-C5-D-4-CEE18412925.jpg)

it’s a classic Tamiya kit so built itself nicely. The PE set was pretty basic but added some extra interest ![](https://i.ibb.co/fFWXSc7/950-E07-D9-0-F12-4-D6-F-A81-F-E9-D663-C01-FC9.jpg)
