Ian, thanks mate but I've never been happy with any of the 3 colour Camo's I've done, even on planes. Still this is ok. I will have to build more :smirk:

Paul, it is a beast but looks so strange with the tiny little turret. I thought I read that all had the rear driver position, this one has the option of MG on turret or rear driver position, I'm going for the turret obviously.

Only about 25 decals for the body, mostly taken up by the wheel pressure and only 2 for the turret when I get there.

cheers

Yes, all versions had the rear driver position, but not all versions had the MG mounting hardware affixed to it. PaulE

CA has finally turned up, so I can finish off the turret. In the meantime, I've added the wheels and started on some weathering.

The next few steps of weathering should bring it all together.

Thanks for the reply, and way too kind, I'm a bit of a donkey since you already mentioned that in a previous post LOL
