Nice job Dave, as usual your builds are fast, clean and effective

How old is your friend's son?

It would have been nice building the kit with him. That's could be the best way to preserve our hobby for the future: teaching kit modelling! Morover I think it could be nice sharing our experience with younger people.
It sounds like I am soooo old...well...maybe I am

Cheers

I've been wanting to see one of these built up. I always enjoy building for someone else, it really brings out the attention to detail in me. I have an ignorant question. Why did you sand the sides of the turret?

thanks all matt there were a lot of marks there to show you were to put the grab handels from the kit

Nice build and paint job Dave, I'm sure your friend and his son will be very happy.

I love to see how a good coat of paint and some weathering can make even an out of date model shine. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work there David. Who said old kits can't look good with some extra work?

thanks all for looking

This is helping quite a bit on mine. Thanks Dave!
