Thank you,Ralph!

Greetings to all. I think this is final photos. I don’t know when I will have an opportunity to take shots with professional light at work. So I want turn the page and took some closer photos at home.
I’d like to thank all for attention and support during this 18 months build. It was really inspiring. Especially I want to thank Peter Brown and Robert Gregory. Thank you so much with help!

Please DO NOT PAINT IT.
This deserves to be left as it is without paint covering all of your astounding work.
Those who see it painted will just brush it off (no pun inteneded) as just another Bronco A13. This is quite the opposite - a total masterpiece of incredible patience and brilliance.
Sent the photos to Bronco and tell them to re-design and re-release it!!

Greetings,Michael! Thank you for attention to my work. I am very pleased. I think it is useless to send photos to Bronco. They ignored real tank in Bovington,so I think they won’t change anything in their style of work. Unfortunately we can see this in their novelties like Ram or A9\A10.

Counting rivets? :stuck_out_tongue:

This must have been oneof the most ardeous builds of a vehicle of this size we’ve ever witnessed. Gawd, you must have damned the designers with their apparent fondness of rivets and screws. I fully understand Michaels call out not to paint it, as not to smother all those lovely details with paint.
Congratulations on a very fine job and with your tenacity to see this through!
