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

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.
