I thought of starting on my entry so as to avoid the mad rush to meet the deadline:

So far I find the kit builds clean and quick, no major headaches on fit and gaps. There's not much parts in it, no interior, and most of the build is focused on the suspension bits.
More updates soon.
Cheers,

Looking good guys. Nice build so far Angel
Stefano the modulated green finish looks great.
Gary and Tat doing duelling turtles..... and Tat starting early so as not to need to rush at the end - was that a hare and tortoise joke
Gary, like the US vs rest of the word date

LOL. With so few parts, it will be indeed a shame not to get this through the line on time!

The turret did not sit flush on my first attempt, so I had to sand it a bit to fit. Small gaps but manageable with some filler.
As I am partial to beutes, I plan to finish this as a captured vehicle.
Till next update.
