Hi,

I am fairly new to this hobby, having only completed one model before (Tamiya Ducati 1199 Panigale), but I wanted to share my progress. As a South African, this self propelled gun lies close to my heart as a home grown product, and I was quite surprised when it popped onto my radar after just having listed it as a model I would like to see in the Fine Scale Modeler magazine survey.

So I bought the kit from Ammo with a few extra goodies (some for other models I have going):

Tiny footsteps for the turret:



Fitted along with one smokescreen rack, the frame was quite fiddly to align:
