Coming along nicely Arnie and you are enjoying the build which is what it should be all about :smiling4:

Thanks Geoff!

Nice updates yes I always enjoy a Tamiya Millitary build myself.

Made a bit more progress overnight - I got the engine built up, although I'm not sure why as I'm not planning to display it with the engine cover open. Fun though.



Undersides are al done.



As I've said before, it's a fun little kit this.

Tamiya kits are really fun A.J.!!! Looking good and deep down, I think you really want to detail the motor and leave the hood loose to display your work! Just a thought...

LOL! weeeelll I might paint it, maybe, it would be a shame not too, and I had had the thought of just not gluing down the engine cover. Thanks Allen! :smiling:

Thanks to a bout of insomnia the other night the assembly is complete and I've primed ready for paint. I did a base prime of Citadel's Chaos Black first and then a light coat of Tamiya light grey primer over the top.

I like the look of this arnie , a bit like a bathtub on wheels ( last of the summer wine ?) . It looks a lovely kit , another temptation to increase the stash !

It is indeed a cool little beasty Colin I agree.

Detail painting and wheels painted - I'll apply a gloss coat tomorrow.

Thanks Paul!

Did you have any fit issues with the driver when you built yours?
