    Nick, I'm another late catch-upper (if that word has a meaning...) but I'm fascinated by your job: it's wonderful.
    It shows what a modeller can achieve with a lot of imagination and skills without spending huge amounts of money and getting a lot of fun (but far less sleep).:sleeping:
    Have you thought to sell the idea to Lucas Film? Il Levriero would be in his habitat on Tatooine, unless he occasionally has to look for a tree ... :smiling4:

      The main body is obvious, you mentioned that yourself I can’t place the turret, but you mentioned it’s Modelcollect, and looking at their site I get the impression it could well be off their “E60” what-if German tank destroyer. The sides of the “head” are the sides of a Sherman (or M3 medium) final drive housing. No idea about the triangular parts under the wheel wells, and though the sprocket under the front looks familiar, I can’t place it.

        Turret was spare from a MC E60 Sabelzahntiger sprue.... so yes.

          Would love too, but one thinks there is many bits obviously identified, then there is the copyright thing, if all scratched then why not
          Many many thanks for dropping in and enjoying
