Looking very nice David, not long to go now. I hope your Dad is okay.
Hans, well it certainly looks used and abused. Pretty close rendition. Thanks for joining in.
Another running close the finish line Lap Man. You certainly can punch them out in the 11th hour

Excellent Lap Man. A great example of nice eye catching, but subtle weathering, and how it really makes a model stand out.

Great work on your M113 David.
Afraid I'm going to have to bow out. What I hoped would be a quick build just never got going due to other commitments.
Looking forward to seeing everyone else finish.
I think my new years resolution will be to finish kits I start.

Hans: looks just like the inspiration. Nice work.
David: the 113 looks great!
Pete: Nice work as always. Great detail.
Lap Man: looking good.
I was not able to gain any traction this month to finish out my CV90-40, so sadly this is a failed campaign for me. Hoping 2020 gives me more bench time.
Congratulations to all the finishers.
Happy Modeling,
Zon

A couple of touch ups required but the FV 432 Mk3 Bulldog has paint and decals down so is 'legally' finished. 
Not sure if I will have time to get much weathering done, so I'm calling this one finished as far as the GB goes. I will add pics to the gallery if I do get some washes, etc, down before time.

Shell nice choice. yet another build I have thought about for the end. Thought of using that on for the France 40 campaign.
So here is what I have from my Tamiya M113A build.
I still dont feel right just glueing bags to the side of the APC. Not without making a fasting bar first.![]()
if you look at the version that i built you will see that my bags etc are actually hung off the sides from straps that have been connected to various lifting hooks and grab rails... i made them out of thin strips of paper painted olive drab.

Looking good Shell. Nice choice, I just wish that kit has something under the vents - only thing that has put me off investing in one.
Great finish Kelly. Another nice one for the collection.

David, I see that. I have some thin green masking tape that I might give a try for the straps.
Richard, thanks for the managing. Nice work all.
