This is going to be my build for this GB.

I've also got some after market goodies for the correct stowage bins and the like.

I love these "Tanks"
There was one used for Airfield defence when I was at RAF Wildenrath and was amazed how small it was....
.... Didn't seem much bigger than the Action Man one I had as a kid !!

These are fun if you’ve also built a long-wheelbase Land Rover. Put them next to each other, and you can clearly see they’re about the same length and width …

That looks like a great choice Ian.

Interesting little beasts these. They always seemed like a modern take on the universal carrier.

Nice :smiling2:

Good luck with the build Ian.

A tidy bench - it looks ok, but just seems wrong. I can't put my finger on it.

Very cool!

I used to love driving these you could go as fast backwards as forwards. Looking forward to this.

This is a beautiful little kit, Mrs L made this a few years back..(my attempt to get her interested in the hobby..) I'm looking forward to your progress.. :thumb2:

I can remember being chased across Salisbury plain by the 'Sabre version' of these during an 'escape and evasion' exercise many years ago... couldn't believe how fast they were..

(I've still got an empty 30mm casing from one of the Sabre's we watched giving a target a bad day..)
