Hey RV
that's looking good-
I particularly applaud the rear end (oo-er missus )- the tool brackets look great, and the jerry can straps too. Why on earth academy had to mould the tool outlines on the back I'll never understand... suppose it keeps us busy

To put them lines on the way they did, they seemed like they planed on a lot younger crowd to put them together maybe, so to show them where the tools went. I think my SPGs are like that to, not sure, but I remember seeing it somewhere, on one of my models.

That has got to be the ugliest aircraft I've ever seen but looks good for a tank! If you look at the top of the thread you'll see you entered it into the Aircraft group by mistake!!!
