  1. Yeah it’s hard to bet Tamiya’s engineering. Over the years I’ve built 50+ Tamiya kits and absolutely love them. Even the rubber tracks, lol!! Good luck with you M4 build. I just finished Tamiya’s 1/5 Easy Eight kit.
  2. Yes it’s that time!!! Everyone’s favorite!!! Building road wheels, lol!!!
  3. As the front and rear suspension arms actually articulate step 5/6 involved some very small screws, springs and arms.
  4. My paint shop crew sprayed a Styntlrex black and gray shadow base coat on the Challenger yesterday in preparation for its multi layered color coat later this week.
  5. I agree! Definitely futuristic in every way. Wouldn’t want to be in front of one!!!
  6. I started this build 8/27/2025 and finally finished the build portion of the kit today!!! Happy to finish so I can at last send it to the paint shop!
  7. Completed step 4 assembling the lower hull suspension arms. So far no fit issues other than a lot of suspension pieces.
  8. Completed step 3 assembling the front suspension and final gear casings.
  9. Securing the turret storage boxes in step 20 plus one upper hatch!
  10. Completed step 2 modifying the lower hull. Removed 12 guide pins per the instructions and add tow hooks and exhaust to the rear bulkhead.
  11. On your mark….get set….go!!! Completed step 1 assembly of the lower hull of my Pershing build. Cheer me on…… I need the mojo, lol!!!
  12. Alright back from my holiday break and ready to finish this Challenger. Oh and I also started a Tamiya 1/35 M26 Pershing kit!
  13. Thanks Martin I really enjoyed building it.
  14. I was really surprised that I was able to remove it so easily!! Score one for me, lol!!
  15. Saved by a pair of pliers and a quick snap, lol!!! I was totally surprised how easily it came off!!! Problem solved!!!
  16. I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the picture and advice.
  17. I’m not sure I can get them off at this point!!
  18. Oh my goodness I’ve had those clamps for years. Years ago someone either here or on Flory had a small cottage industry making them and I bought a dozen. Sadly he’s long since gone out of business!
  19. That I did! I fiddled with it for an hour trying to make it fit. My solution was incorrect to say the least. Not sure I can remove it now without destroying the model front. May have to stay that way!
  20. Another great Revell armor kit. 1/35 P204(f) Armored Scout Vehicle
