Nice one Graham (by the way, just up in Burton).
Check my thread on Jackal 1/48.
It will probably be a better build than mine as I really milked my build with PE and such.
Its looking mighty fine.
I would love to see the likes of Dragon or Tamiya does 1/35 version of some British Armour and such :scratch::
I know Accurate Armour do a 1/35 Jackal but its a bit pricey at £75 for my taste.
Good luck mate and have fun.

Looks great Graham!

Been thinking of some 1/48 vehicles to go with my 1/48 Chinook build - these look fantastic!

Nice job Graham.
Love these Jackal models and wish the 1/35 model by Accurate Armour was a wee bit cheaper.
The British Army now have some lovely vehicles which I wish we could get manufactures to pick up on.
Great job.
