Yet another very nicely finished model that is eye catching.

That looks good. I was just pondering whether to get the Airfix boxing or not, might have to consider it.

Kimmo: While George does a nice job with the Peerless/Airfix/Italeri kit, may I suggest you get the AFV Club WC-51 BEEP plus this new conversion kit by Blast instead?

This will yield a very accurate final result.

George: kudos! Great work on that old kit!

If I had the cash to go that route I would. I'm not saying that the Skybow and conversion aren't worth the price tag, but I keep seeing the Airfix and occasionally the Italeri boxings for less than 20 euros. I don't mind reworking older kits, to a point of course.

George, you did the old kit proud. I can imagine rebuilding the grille was a kit in itself!

You almost had me fooled! I was going to ask when you had the time to do another one of these.

Thanks you guys! What timing on the Blast kit...I could have really used this. It's a cool enough subject, I may do another down the line.
