    M 31 Lee Recovery Vehicle

    Hi Guys,

    I received this about three weeks ago, and ordered the Voyager etch set for it as well. Thought I'd put this up as well just for you Scottie:smiling:. I have had a small start on it but a previous GB and a start of a new one put it on temporary hold...

    PE Set

    The Kit, the moulding is brilliant, the plastic is a joy to work with and the detail second to none.

    Early preparation

    More preparation on the running gear.

    Running gear assembled.....

    This is as far as I have got but will slowly proceed with it as and when free time in between my desert build.

    Cheers Mike:sleeping:

    Hi Mike
    Looks a great kit to work on and the PE just makes it even better. Certainly not a quick build.

      Jim,
      A very slow build I think

              I was going to order the Grant and the M31 the other day for my birthday but they ran out of stock the day before.:disappointed:

              I'll be watching for sure Morty

                Hi Mike
                Looks great....looking forward to seeing this one develop......
                Hi Tony, try yon scalemoddelly man’s shop. He might have it, and it would be nice to support a decent guy rather than a faceless corporation....
                Cheers
                Tim

                  You'll find his service is excellent! Shame he hasn't got a physical shop though. (No connection, just a pleased customer)

                    I just looked and one is out of stock,the Grant,he has the M31 but the postage would eat my lunch being here in the States.
                    Sprue Bros is 3hrs and 30minutes up the road from me and postage is still high ($8.00)

                    Thank anyway
                    Tony

                            Hey Mike,
                            I'm in on this one too. Sitting next to JR (what, no Dallas theme music here) with my sunglasses on waiting for the bling to happen. That Voyager set looks pretty heavy Sir!
                            Prost

                              Hi Guys,
                              Thank you for your kind comments. I'll bounce in and out on this one as I want to concentrate on the LRDG/SAS build from the MM Desert GB.

                              Cheers Mike :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping:
