OK then Guys,an update of sorts!!........
Here`s the progress after interruptions from the Euros and that blimmin` work thing that i seem to have to keep doing?!!
...
Ere`s some pics......
The multi lens blocks for the copula,i like to give em a bit of Blue,it`s actually darker than it looks!.... Then i used this to stick stuff in.......
It seems to be OK,not sure if i`m honest.... but nothing seems to have "Frosted" yet! Next,the Driver`s space.....
..... in progress there........
and in.......
Finally for now,the turret pics,you have to drill lots of stuff,and also trim some......
But after some time,it turns into this.......
:thumb2:
So there we are at the mo,i must admit to being distracted by lots of stuff currently,but i`ll be back in the saddle later tomorrow i hope:thumb2:,
Thanks for looking in,i appreciate that this isn`t a particular popular subject/era,but it`s ALWAYS superb to hear from you all!
Cheers

Nice one Steve!!:thumb2:
As you can see,mine`s stalled a bit recently,but i`m back on it now:nerd:,
I`m even thinking of expanding my Diorama idea.... will still go for the "Buddah Statue" scenario mind.... with a ground crew/watching picket and possibly the "Duster" too!!...... I`m really getting into this Vietnam vibe!!

Looking good so far Andy, I've started using zap canopy glue for my clear bit's, it's white glue doesn't damage anything you can get it everywhere and clean the excess with a damp cotton bud.Comment

I'm not saying I was p----d off but I thought I'd found a different Buddha from that 'Mind and Spirit' type outlet - only to find it's exactly the same as the FoG exemplar! Mmm, I need to connect to my inner self (and tell Lee at FoG!) that we need to connect on a more esoteric plane before purchasing weird things! Don't go giving out any negative vibes Dude!Nice one Steve!!:thumb2:

OK Then guys,a bit of an update.....
and here`s the Turret alone.... i must admit that i was quite impressed with this aspect!.....
I`m thinking that,despite it`s age,it MUST have inspired some future builds..... ok,it`s not strictly a "Tank",but that low,squat and almost,kidney shaped profile turret reminds me of modern examples,such as the the Merkeva!......
The figures have arrived this week,and part assembled.... hopefully a better update tomorrow!
As always,thanks for looking in,

Keep up the good work

Andy,
Looking good fella. Is that a clear window in the hull in front of the drivers hatch?Comment

Only because the Americans seem to have developed an aversion in the 1960s to calling things by simple names that everybody can understand, combined with having a surplus of trained abbreviation-developers, to get things like “M551 AR/AAV” when “M551 light tank” would have been just as fitting.
BTW, did you paint the periscopes blue or are they clear (colorless) and it's a trick of the light? I know Tamiya recommends blue, but I never understood why. The exterior face of a periscope would really only be blue if there’s a strong blue light on inside the vehicle
