This is a little in between build I have had for a while and needs finishing! (along with 3 others! ) Its the Tamiya kit with a few extras, and its a nice break from the Loco, which is a very intense build, and is going together well.

Another nice kit choice, looking forward to your progress “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

A quick up date. Photo etch pedals done, gear levers etc. and seats. There are pe dials and facia on the center console, but they will be fitted after painting. All dry fit as it will be painted and weathered in 3 parts, chassis, floor pan and body. Sagged wheels are brill, shame they dont do a set for the field gun!

Thanks Tomick, its usual Tamiya standard, so really nice to put together and the pe sets just kick it up a notch. I really like the detail on the resin wheels, Firestone tyres no less!!

Thanks for looking in and the comments everyone, being a quickish build I wont be using all the etch, but more on the weathering side for desert conditions.

Being as I have a ton of primer work coming up I though I would get this done. Building is done, just a few tools to add and some stowage. I like the way the sag tires sit and they have a proper tread pattern and rotation direction. The barrel looks superb. Really happy so far. Nemesis attached the following image(s):

looks great.I know that feeling when you get a full can of primer out and you see all those unfinished models that got to the primer stage and just go nuts spraying everything.
