Fanx a lot mates! Yes, it's a shame, but they add a lot of good details to the model.

I thought the same when i built the M26 Tractor..........tons of etch (probably the most i`ve ever used) and then all covered in paint , but ya right bud......it does make `em look good detail wise .........providing it all stays attached during painting

Yeap, I now use that glue Marco, very impressed with it. I find it grabs almost immediately and actually does work as it's advertised.

WOW!!! This is a beauty Marco - the etch does look mighty impressive all in place but it will also look superb under paint.....maybe have to source one of these for myself...make a great starting point for a post-apocalypse build methinks!!

Cracking work mate, looks superb but I bet it will look even better with that lovely JGSDF paint scheme!

Thanks chaps! Dick, the big wheels, the rear manipulator and the shape of the vehicle realy make this thing a great start point for a post apocalypse runner! The best news is: It's cheap! Pete, you're right! and your fine paint work in the 8 wheeled inspired me to try this camo on a vehicle! Jeffers, I'll try to take best pics of the MG. Man this thing made me work a lot!

Man that looks frikkin` superb fella........that will look soooooo good under paint mucker Thanks for the heads up on the glue fella, i been using very tiny amounts of the GEL type C/A simply coz i like a bit of jiggle time , my shakin` hands don`t always allow for first time placement ...........a little bit of wriggle time lets me have a bit of time to position it before it dries

Boots, the Flex CA doesn't set as fast as regular CA. May be you can try (with the beer gently suggested by Paul)
