Please keep in mind that this is the first model I have built in 18 years and my first weathering attempt ever.








I will get more batteries for the camera in the morning.#:-)

Thanks
Eric

Congratulations on finishing your model (gasp after 18 years) and entry into the CWCO! I'm thrilled that you guys are coming in so strong on this campaign. What have you got planned next to build?

Graywolf

To cut a long story short, never got the decal sheet with the kit. I am not complaining as I bought the item (Tamiya M113 plus Verlinden M163 conversion) on eBay for £4.20 (± $6.30) missing a few parts. Most of them I have been able to scratch build, I have been unable to find decals for the M163, so have to make them myself.
