This is the IMA kit with some additions I've added. Not a bad kit but mine was missing some parts and some were miscast. I'm going to use the MK tracks for the Universal Carrier as the resin ones are far too dificult to clean up. The road wheels are not set yet so they look off in the photo.
Any comments suggestions are welcome.

Hey Sean!!!

Looks good. Very good for such a wee-thing.

Smoke discharger on the side of the turret, or? I see about four different colors of, I'm assuming, resin. Main body, fenders/skirts, smokers, and the cans on the back. Is the IMA kit the darker of the grays? What's the rest from?

Well if it's not grey it's either plastic card or brass that I have formed. The smoke dischargers are resin and plastic card with solder wire for cabling. The Flimsies are from Ultracast.

Thanks for the comments.

oooohhh, one of my favorite periods! I LOVE the British interwar tanks! Apart from the flaws in the kit, how does it build up?

I can't wait to see this painted!

Wow Sean that's quite a novelty build you've got going there like Steven said it's a pity other companies don't dally into pre-WW2 afv's as some of them although weird looking were quite ingenius in there design especially when you compare them to there WW1 decendants (i personnally wouldn't mind seeing more WW1 subjects being produced) going back to the kit it looks amazing can't wait to see it with paint
