So guys it looks like i have the model bug bad, I have already started the next model .

This one was reviewed by Henk last year and his review is so full of info im not going to try to match it.

The model is very detailed but there is a lot of flash and a lot of cleaning to do as you make it.

I started it last night and i have the hull built and in undercoat.

This is going to be a really nice model i think , and i will add pics as i go.

One question is if anyone has built this model can the advise me on the best way to make the tracks (weather to glue each piece or not )

Andrew -

There were a couple of folks who built this, one forum can be seen here:

Hopefully the link works...if not, look in the past forums, you can find some info there.

Cheers -

Good start Andrew, but a few things to fix, before you start painting..

The drivers hatch and Radio operators hatch are switched. The locks (triangular plate) are on the outside.
The Transmission cover (the large square hatch in the glacis) was secured with square headed bolts, not the slotted screw heads as in the kit.
Don't forget the six small bolts on the final drive covers.

Looking forward to your progress Andrew. I'm thinking of doing another one, with the bridge deployed, rather than stowed on the top.
