Mick That is very well finished and i am impressed by your painting and weathering of such a complex structure. What a frightening machine it looks as well. There was a programme on recently that i had on in the background and this thing had a mention. If i picked up correctly on what they said it mentioned a crew of a couple of thousand people? I guess that would be all the transport, assemble and logistics ? Very nicely turned out result - well done Happy Modelling

Hi Tony Thanks for looking in.depends who figures you believe. But I seen between 2000 to 3000 mentioned for transport and legistics. Plus crew of 250.who took 3 days to assemble it on site. No wonder was only used once totally impractical. Cheers mick. Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,
