It does look like a great kit, I have one in my stash so will be following your build with great interest. Have you seen the new Jason studio’s figures for this kit, not due out untill December but they look really Good.

Sorry, but I am really bad at doing Figures. I have a large Box of the Figures that come with these 1/16th. Kits that I don’t know what to do with.

Hi Donald, good to see you working on this one.

The kit goes together well but I found the stub axles to torsion bars a bit weak and snapped two off just handling the kit while building, probably due to me fat fingers clumsiness but just be warned. I havent heard of anyone else having the issue so its probably a me thing. AFV Modeller do a range of sweet parts for this I’m sure you are aware of and the kit can do with a bit of detailing here and there but it does build well as is anyway.

I think the figures available from Jason & Sol are later war figures. I’d hoped for an earlier period set but you never know whats coming soon.

No need to be sorry, I’m a disaster with figures too, lol. So what I say, I build these for my pleasure and so long as I enjoy the process, it doesn’t matter how bad they are, and who knows? oneday I might get a decent one, lol. Love the work you do so I will follow this thread figures or no. Thank you for your posts they are much appreciated.

The Rod in Pic. #31 has been bothering me, It just doesn’t look right.
It crosses where the access point for changing the engine oil . I redid it.

I think that this looks better.

I’ll start on the upper parts next.

I found the transmission a sod to fit it was very tight in the lower hull. It may of course been my own error somewhere during construction. I also went for fitting the cover and leaving out the pipework easy option too.
