Last entries in the stash:
I am impressed about figures, very fine and detailled, one of the best reference for modern british soldiers in styrene in my mind. Optionnal torso and heads is a very good idea.
Sagged resin wheels from Fat Frog Scale Models for the quad and its trailer to replace the wheels from Bronco because those one are too narrow.

No where near as exciting as a kit … But to help make the kit and finish it …
Thought it looked neat … Will probably break or frustrate me within a couple of days and I will smash it to pieces lol
Comes with 6 rolls from 24mm to 2mm but takes an extra Tamiya 6mm roll …

Snap, brother gave me one, feel it takes more time to get a piece of it, then to just unravel tape and cut.
Yeah I can see what you mean… Will give it a go and see how I get on with it …

Thanks for the info, but I’ll be making a soft top version
Nice vehicle !
There are 4 very nice update set packs from Accurate Armour, each one with a time frame, depending what equipment you want to see on the vehicle.
They allow to resolve several inacurracies of the kit.

Latest arrival, really liked Rick Taylor’s build on the site.
The US entered the Great War with no tanks or tank designs. However it was a powerhouse of automotive and tractor production. That capability was pointed at developing a tank, and the Ford Motor Company responded with a design that made maximum use of its off-the-shelf parts and its existing production capability. This resulted in tank that could be produced quickly and cheaply - just $4,000 each. Fifteen were produced for evaluation and a contract was written for 15,000. After testing in France…

I built the Asuka kit about 5 years ago. It’s a really nice kit!
That is good to know. I only will put a metal barrel and tracks on it.
I also consider getting a metal towing cable…

Good call! The only weak point of the kit was the rubber band tracks
Yes, I have a healthy dislike of rubber band tracks… I just got me a set of Friuls yesterday.
