Hi there aeroplane types.

During a period of indescision over which tank model to puchase at the weekend the above mentioned kit caught my eye, and 5 minutes later my wallet.

I intend to build it OOB as the last aircraft model i made was over 25 years ago and was probably from Airfix.

Does anyone have experience of building this, is there anything i should look out for?

Thanks in advance

Andy

Here is a bit of fun.

For the 1/32 scale kit, the rib detail needs to be softened. Too pronounced.

For the 1/72 kit unless yopu are a masochist throw it away. Too many things wrong with it.

Thanks for that. I have the 1/32nd, so it's avoiding the bin.

I'll post pictures as i progress with the build.
