Looks like it is coming along nicely. Looks like the right side storage box is missing from the rear hull though. Keep us posted on progress.

Looks good, nice layout!

Maybe it's an idea to scratchbuild the sandbags with milliput? I personally don't like the plastic ones...they don't look real (very static if you know what I mean)

Looking forward to see your completed dio!

Greetings.

The arty is solid and looking good. I like the cart too, looks nicely detailed.

I agree with MG about the bags, those tamiya kits are good for sizing your own scratch built ones. Run to Michaels or ACMoores and get some sculpy baking clay (or milliput if you can find it). And sculpt your own. You will not be dissapointed.

I am going to use scullpy for the sands bags just sizing things up with Tamiya bags. I cant really tell but in the real pic it looks the right side stowage box is removed just trying to be acurate. The fire cart is scratchbuilt be suprized what you can find in the kids toy box.
