Foul weather is keeping me from painting. And, I've already done as much as I can before painting. So, without further ado:

Looks like it is off to a good start. You can add a whole bunch more details and corrections before painting though, unless you are going for an OOB build.

Check here for more info.

This is going to be oob. My next one will include some of the Accurate Armor details. I needed a break from the 600 Dragon kits. Well, I really needed a break from panzers.

Thanks. I like to think of it as "blitz" building. The kit is pretty straight forward. No grain of rice size pieces. And, the hinges are simplified. I am really enjoying this build. It has determined me to buy a few more Tamiya/Italeri/Academy kits. I would include Revell, but for some reason don't like their kits. This excludes the eagerly anticipated Dingo.

Hey Matt, first of all very nice looking build. I know exactly what you mean though, I myself have bought a few "simpler" kits to blitz together on weekends. It really does drain on my morale spending weeks glueing together hundreds of tiny detail pieces on dragon or bronco kits and just to start and finish a build in a night or two is quite satisfying.

Updates. I still have some touch up painting to do. The color is slightly off, which is strange for my camera. But, I digress.

I know what you mean mate. I've just built a Tamiya B1 Bis.it was my first break from Dragon/AFV Club. I've got to say, it's the best kit I've built. Fit is absolutely perfect, parts incredibly easy to clean up and instructions that actually make sense. I highly recommend it

When I finish it, I'm sending photos to hobbylink.com . They give you a discount, if you send them photos of a kit they sell. This, in turn will further my Bradley/Warrior kick.
