The hull looks nicely detailed, it's a good decision to build the hull before adding more details. Now they won't break during further construction. This is a cool model and we don't see it built that often.

So be had a few more hours on this and it seems like I’ve made little progress... there are so many of the parts that are unnecessary and could have been moulded on. I’ve had several excursions to the floor to find parts that are way too small for my club hands to manage... Anyhoo, here’s where we’re at.... I shan’t be doing anymore this evening, I think I’d be pushing my luck.... more to follow...

Looks good to me, Ade. Based on the info you got at the show, I'd say you made the right choice.

Well there’s an hour and a half of my life that I would rather have spent having my back, sack’n’crack plucked with tweezers by a 300lb Turkish Cross Dresser.... IIRC, 18 parts to construct the two axles... FFS, WHY!?! ?!

The end of another session.... I’m now about two-thirds of the way through this build. My aim is to get the construction finished over the weekend. Front vision ports are now done... And the axles have been added, thankfully it all lines up. I’ve got a few more parts to add to the axles, now that they are attached to the chassis. Overall it’s coming together... More to follow....

Yessir....yer definitely made the right decision getting that hull boxed up sooner rather than later! I know thye're a PIA but there's no doubt they're full of detail and do look superb under colour so it's worth it in the end! BTW what is it with you and big Turks??? LMAO Boots - Fer a Bronco the Buff is almost Tamiya like....some small parts but fit is absolutely sublime fella
