Hi fellas here's my next build  . I couldn't resist this one, it's been shouting at me outta the stash for a while now, so it's time to give it its will  .  The first 54 parts . The plastic is a tad on the brittle side, but I reckon that is only because the kit is a few years old. 21 to be precise, the same age as I .   More as and when chaps |

I had this one's cousin (35S17) on my last order list, but it didn't make the cut. I was going to convert it to a civilian Jeep CJ as part of something-something non-military related and involving Meng's Toyota 4wd truck.
Anyway, I'm interested to see this one build up. And I was not aware of it's age or re-boxificated origins as a Skybow kit.

Alex, cheers indeed fella . As said I hadn't noticed the Skybow markings before, only when I went to look for a time stamp I saw that |

AFV club took over all of skybows moulds when they disappeared such as the beep & M41 bulldog, which by the way is an awesome kit.

This evenings workings, the 106mm recoilless rifle . This completly the kit item, it's a 2 piece barrel split lengthwise as per 1990's kits had. But the fit is near to perfect with just a minimal clean up needed . The .50 ranging gun is fitted to four separate parts, and even here there is no misalignment    More soon chaps |
