Hey guys, as the title says, this is my first completed 1/35th piece of armor and only the second Military vehicle that I've done. It is the Tamiya M-41 Walker Bulldog. It was an easy build of an inexpensive kit. The only thing I am not happy with and am considering redoing are the aerials. I used the stretched sprue method for them. I am still trying to figure out the the whole adding photos thing so bare with me please. And also the travel lock is missing, and I must give a big shout out to call sign Mech on the boards here because he has a replacement in the mail for me as I type, thanks again buddy. Pleas and comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

If that's the kit above, the overall finish and construction look good. The biggest error in the .50 cal. It's upside down and the ammo is on hte wrong side. Less glaring are the exhaust tips...the one closer to the camera appears to have an upward tilt. It should be flat like the one on the other side.

Ok, the .50 cal is an easy fix, its not glued in. The exhaust was in so tight I guess it did that on its own because I had sanded it down a bit to make it slide over some because it was up against the the travel lock mount. Heres another shot......maybe. lol Ok, didnt work, I'll figure it out later, I'm off to bed.

To get pictures into your post go to your gallery. Then click the picture you require, scroll down until you see 'Linked Thumbnail' There is a box of text, ignore this but on the same line there is a little picture of a picture (if you get what a mean). Click on this then copy and paste the line of what may appear to be random text, nxt to where ist says HTML code
Hope this helps
