Cheers buddy Its a fun kit to do and so different from the armour I normally do,
Been a learning experience that's for sure. (mainly only ever done 1/72 scale Airfix kits years ago lol)

Still a tread head at heart though :apc:

Very nice! Excellent work :th: If you brush a little Future over the scratches on canopy it might make them disapear, I have done that in the past.

5 out of 5 bows for you my friend...
Excellent little build this turned out to be guppy, and I think the quote by scruffy about some future may well be the one..
If you aint got any get off to Asda... Pledge multi surface wax formally known as Klear..White 750mm bottle £3.16, add it to the weekly shop the Mrs will never notice... that's what I did.. ;)
Must admit I aint tried it yet though... :wtf:

Anyway congrats once again on a superb build...
:pop: sat munchin waiting for the daylight shots... :D

:cheers2:

Thanks :th:

Back to armour for a bit with the Panzer IV for the World of Tanks build.

For my next aircraft I've got a 1/48 F6F-5 Hellcat I want to do.
