        This just arrived.. didn't plan on buying one yet but the deal was too good to ignore, should have been £46 and I got it for £26.

        Looking at the bag of bits, she's a beast! I did intend to build her now but crikey, I'm not sure now. haha

          I'll look forward to seeing this built. I've often been tempted by the kit.

            Nice one. Which scale is it, though? I can’t find it in the photo.

                  I was in my 'local' hobby shop yesterday. Thought I would try these out for the shiny ones. The paints should be reasonably pong free, but the lacquer I was told open the windows and turn the spray both on high AND wear a mask. Hmm.

                  I also got some glue, filler and flexi masking in 2mm. Hardly worth a photo. lol

                  Calm down Chris. It will not be getting built for quite a while. There are loads of other bits to buy yet.

                          I intend to build an early version of the M2 halftrack next, and needed front wheels for it with a different tyre pattern than what you get in the Dragon kit, as well as two M1917A1 machine guns, so I ordered some, as well as some other stuff I have a use for. However, now the parcel arrived, the Master Box sets are very disappointing — the guns, the whole reason for buying them, are almost abominable

                          The LAV tyres are for when I build the Italeri LAV-AD that I took some bits from to stick on the Israeli M247 I’ve been building. Italeri’s tyres are awful, and this set lets me improve the model a lot for all of €3.95.

                              A combination of the Spring Sale + accumulated Hobby Points meant that this was finally purchased for a very good price.Click image for larger version
