Nicely done details, not overdone weathering and only one thing that looks strange - I think this the place were you joined track pieces, Karl - on first roller on right side.
Did have any problems assembling the kit?

Hi Karl,

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

Only a couple of things that look a bit odd to me; the single pack looks strange hanging there on it's own, I'd be inclined to take it off or give it lots of company.

Just under the name Carole on the left hand side there is a circular mark. I noticed this before when you posted your progress pictures but just assumed it would disappear when you had the kit finished. If it's a moulding mark you couldn't sand down or get it filled in you could blend it in by using some glue and an old brush to roughen up the armour very slightly. As you have all the decals on probably best to disguise it by hanging something over it, like a bit or tarp or camo net.

Just some thoughts, very nice kit though, thanks again for the pictures.

Cheers

Al

Hi Karl,

Ah well now if it's on the picture and box art, I stand corrected.

Still a nice kit, if this is your first one it looks really good, so well done you. Look forward to seeing some more of your stuff in the future.

Again, thanks for sharing.
