Hello peeps. Well its a New Year and I Needed a break from my 1:16 T-34/85 build. Its a cracking kit, but very intense, so I decided to do a 1:35 scale in between. And this is what I decided on!  Now in their infinite wisdom, Tamiya made this a bit different by giving you cast metal wheels, which is a nice touch and adds some nice weight to the kit. :D But it has PE in the build, but this doesn't come with the kit and has to be purchased seperately :evil: !!!! Not one of Tamiya's brighter moves!! I ordered 2 and got refunded because they couldn't find them!! So I bought 2 aftermarket PE sets which covered the Tamiya set plus loads of extras and also got a metal and resin barrel set for it.  Tamiya added a nice touch by giving you jigs to align the suspension arms!! Hopefully I can use them again on other builds!!  Cast wheels add some weight and are nicely detailed.  I was going to get some Bronco tracks until I researched them and decided against it!! :D The kit ones are really good and use normal plastic glue to secure them.  The barrel set is nicely detailed and a lot better than the 2 piece kit one!!    PE sets are nice and as I said I can now add some extra detail as well. I added the fuel lines with some copper wire.

Great build coming along here and it's moving fast. I have not gone in for buying extras as yet but I am watching your choices with interest. I think I may have to give it a try next time.

Wow this one's moving along fast. Nice job with the base coat, now let there be rain, mud, rust and fading.
