How does this kit fare mate? Mirage kits are very cheap at my end and I've steered clear based on the you get what you pay for mantra.

[tanktrack]

it looks ok Aaron I will be turning it into an abandoned tank anyway fingers crossed

[monica]

will look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve on this one Steve,


thats a nice tip Aaron as i have been after some cheap 1.35 tanks and alike to do wrecks

well I have started this kit and it is a dog at times , you have too remove a major piece of plastic on both side of the hull to get the top plates on , I used a dremmel saw which wasn't too bad but the filler is required after thank goodness its a wreck im building

[PaulTRose]

will be interesting to see how you get on with this


i did a Mirage tank kit recently that i picked up for a fiver at a show and loved it, had no drama what so ever, went together very easily

[tanktrack]

well I took the saw to it and it came off ok a bot of filler and you wont know
