I like the camo scheme also.
But I have a few questions about the suspension.

I will build this kit soon too but I will build the Trumpeteer kit 1/35, with rail transporter. But I want to know if the suspension is lowered or (I called it up) up if it is on the rail transporter.
Because you Karl you have the suspension lowered so it will look it's moving across the country.

Must that be the first impression??
I managed that (I think) you forgot the rings in the front of the vehicle, by the stairs.

How big is your model?? In lenght?? (in Cm )
I can't wait to see it finished.
Btw is PE included in the kit?? Or is that a mistake from me?

Karl, it looks great so far. I can't wait to see your finished diorama. As this vehicle is in progess, I have a couple of questions. Would the inside of the barrel be painted as such or be a different color? Will you paint the sprockets to show some wear? How was the kit to build as I'm interested in it. I too would like to know the dimension of the kit (in INCHES :-) :-) :-) ).

yes i am going to paint the inside of the gun silver.
The size of the kit is just over 6 and a half inches.
many thanks

and it goes together very easy,just take some care when building up the gun as it has 2 little springs
so the gun sort of recoils.

OUHHH! Don't use silver...try maybe Humbrols polished steel or something but I think Silver would just stick out tooooo much..Just my opinion of course..
