Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.

I build primarily 1/72 for the same reason, I’ve found if a build takes me too long I lose interest and struggle to finish it

Thanks I’ve had this kit for years and I don’t have any on the shelf.

Yes I’m finding out that bigger kits are taking me longer and I get burned out on them quicker these days. I have more patience now with 1/72 scale than several years ago I’ve learned how to build these with my arthritis in my hands and deal with my eye site. I would like to start building small Diorama’s for them.

This will be my new Choice for the GB. Yes I’m replacing those hideous wheels and tires. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1225354[/ATTACH]

Nice choice Lee, but shouldn’t there be six wheels in that AM set?

[minitnkr]

Would think seven actually.

LOL, I forgot the spare :crying:

Your right Jim. The package has been opened on the side it’s been many years since I’ve had this kit opened. Guess I’ll start looking. Lol.

[Lee Drennen]

Yes you are right. Ones a spare

[Lee Drennen]

Ok I found the other two wheels all is good.

If you hadn’t, you could probably have sawed one in half and used it for the front wheels, with the plates over them it would be (just about?) impossible to tell.

Thanks Jakko that is a great idea and it would have worked too. It’s good to have you around

Mate, I’ve been called far worse than that over the years. I won’t worry if you don’t. :tears-of-joy:
