    You're really putting the whammy-jammy on this modern kit Paul ! I'm surprised, but am ashamed to admit it. Should've counted on you of all model detailers ! :thumb2:

          Outstanding work there Paul. Simply outstanding - actual working parts and not just a simple hinge either.

          Very well done indeed.

            Back in your element I see Paul. All the finery is tops, but maybe the CA fumes are too much for ya. You say you are going to put figures in the turret??? Wouldn't that really sorta cover up all the fine work and time you've invested in it. Just my 2 pfennings worth my friend......She is looking really good though...........

              Hi Scottie
              You're not just going the extra mile with this but the extra ten miles.

                  Cheers Steve I'm not sure how much will be seen when the crew figures are in place.

                  Cheers Andrew Not sure whether I will have the vision ports open or closed yet. The hinge was just some PE sprue and 0.3 wire.

                  Cheers Allen, the plan was always to have some crew but didn't know how much you would be able to see when they were in place so that's why the interior is pretty basic.

                        Amazing how much detail you can pour onto a new kit Scottie. Plastic sure has its limits. Great work on a class of its own. :thumb2:

                        Cheers,
                        Richard

                          Richard, thanks mate in all fairness this is a great little kit and doesn't need much tweaking at all.

                            The kit is nearly built so it is time to make a start on the tracks. They are nicely detailed requiring very little clean up. The kit comes with a nice little jig to help assembly, it allows you to build 7 links at a time.

                            At the back is two lengths making up 91 links for one side. There is also 13 sets of 7 drying before cutting the pins off of the sprue.

                              Hi Scottie
                              182 links in all. That's a lot but you're almost done. They look very nice.

                                Had a go at making some sandbags, hopefully they will look ok when painted.
