Good luck with it mate it's so tiny.

[Coen]

This should be a cool thing to see come together.
Very cool Jan.

Nice little kit this, I don't recall any probs with it. Good luck with that tiny PE though, lol!

Time to break out the geek goggles methinks! Good luck and enjoy.

Progress so far, running gear done, went together pretty easy.
Turret also went together well, and the first pe placed on.

Hey buddy, I was watching the hangout last night when you mentioned the filters on the side of the turret. Just for info, they're not filters, they're ID panels that were fitted to the vehicle, usually by the crew with bungies and Velcro! That's why you'll see pics with and without them. HTH. I did try to comment on the hangout but it wouldn't let me?!

[Jan01]

Thanks for the info chief.

[Coen]

That was fast Jan! Wow!
Looks cool bud.

Thanks Coen, was busy doing the pe on the turret during the hangout

[MarkVerploeg]

So you add pe to a already small kit hhmmmmm
Do you like to torture yourself
Just kidding
It looks good so far and even this small pe can make it look very nice
Keep up the good work

Well after some fiddly parts with the pe, the turret is done.
