Looks good! I have that same kit waiting in my stash to be built. Where are you located?

Nice build.

You made a nice job of that.

I'm no expert but I think for inexpensive but decent kits you can't go wrong with the older Tamiya kits. Obviously they won't have the fine detail of more expensive kits but they are good quality and on the whole don't give too many problems fit wise. With some nice paint and weathering they can look fantastic.

My first kit was Tamiyas M4 Sherman - Early Production. It went together nicely and ended up look pretty good. I just had a look at an online shop I use and it's up for $39 AUD. Not sure of the conversion rate but I think that's around $26 US, but I'm sure you could get it cheaper by shopping around.

Whatever you pick I look forward to see pics of it.

A quick look at an online conversion site, $39 AUD is $29.90 US.

I would suggest haunting the for sale sites and second hand goods shops and the like. You can be very surprized at times what you can find.

Thanks all for the suggestions.

If you're not in a hurry then I'd recommend Aliexpress. You can find pretty cheap old kits, and they are about to start their annual sale

good to know. each time I check that site I have either just missed out or there prices are higher than my usual haunts.
