Hi all i bought and built this model in 88 ![BigGrin](/images/emoticons/msp_biggrin.gif) so its very old but i kept it as i had a 1972 Baja bug which i converted myself and had it as my daily driver for 14 years ![Drool](/images/emoticons/msp_drool.gif) ,so the model has moved 6 times in all and survived each time until i came across it in the attic crushed between boxes O.M.G. ![Crying](/images/emoticons/msp_crying.gif) so i looked on various sites and the cheapest kit was $239 ![Blink](/images/emoticons/msp_blink.gif) i payed £15 for it in 88 ![BigGrin](/images/emoticons/msp_biggrin.gif) so i decided to rebuild it has a rough and ready Baja instead of the road custom version ![BigGrin](/images/emoticons/msp_biggrin.gif) here is the progress so far ![Cool](/images/emoticons/msp_cool.gif) regards Phil tigerace attached the following image(s): COMING SOON =1/72 Italeri diorama`s Battle for the Reichstag and Stalingrad battle at the tractor factory 1/16 Trumpeter King Tiger with loads of extras ON THE GO= refurbishment of 1/25 Tamiya tiger 1 , amt Star trek kits and space 1999 models
