    I got mine for about the same from Aurora models in China as well. Same to Canada. My LHS just can't compete on anything coming out of China. Kits from Japan and Europe are closer in price, especially after you factor in shipping.

    Thanks Rob! I wasn't sure about the G1 initially but once I confirmed that they were around in Normandy, that made it an easy choice. This is my first Meng kit so it'll be interesting to see how it goes together. Ok, first Meng kit beside their cute Lanc

    Thanks! This kit isn't that bad. There's only two sprue attachment points per wheel and the mould seam is fairly faint too. Thanks Kev! It really is impressive the size difference. Here's one with it in front of a Sherman which I need to finish.

    My dad and sister both have thr CX-5 in Soul Red. They're certainly nice.

    The Fruil tracks are probably the easiest option Ernie. Just stick a wire through them and cut it to length. No glue needed. Or there's this option:. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302949609913 Fully assembled metal tracks. I haven't tried them yet but I am tempted.

    In that case, I'm jealous. Mine came with a set of British airborne troops, none of whom are designed to fit the Jeep. I had a hard time finding suitable figures.

    I used Fruil metal tracks on one, ModelKasten on another and AFV Club's plastic tracks on a couple more. They all have pros and cons. Modelkasten are the hardest to put together as each link is 8 parts (9 if you're using the duck bills). Be ready for a padded room by the time you're done.

    Wheels are painted and attached. Followed by the remaining visors. And the roof hatch. I used some decals from Bison for the markings. They're supposed to be a 1st Armoured division (?, will have to double check). Next up will be a clear coat and some weathering and she'll be done.

    I got the lower hull assembly started. It comes flat pack and there's the option for working suspension. I'm skipping that bit and keeping it simple. The underside is fully detailed as well. Here's a size comparison with my Dingo. Last bit for tonight, I've started on the cleanup of the road wheels.

    Well, I did have to make a target for all those Fireflies I've built.

    Ohh, I've got the SAS Jeep too. The biggest letdown is the lack of a crew.

    Ernie, I think you need to get a Scammell: There's a wrecker version too. I'm going to give it a shot after the Jagdpanther. As for the M10, I built one years ago. It's a pretty good kit. Carl

    Ok, here's my entry into the GB. I'm almost done the Dingo so will diving right into this Here's the scheme I'm going for. Best part is there's no OVM tools. I hate doing all those little clasps.

    Zooming right along there Martin Monty, eh? Any relation to the field Marshal?
  15. BlrwestSiR
    Ok, the fenders are now on. I then added the lights and started on the armoured viewports.
  16. BlrwestSiR
    I think that was so the driver's feet could fit between the front wheels. Maybe that's where Lamborghini got the idea to offset the pedals in the Countach.
  17. BlrwestSiR
    Great progress Martin! Although i thought the purple horse (cat?) thingys were neutral at that time of the war? Carl

    Ernie, you forgot to add "Pick two"
  19. BlrwestSiR
    Guilty as charged! But I think it's more like your Staghound would eat my Dingo. Here's a size comparison of the two. And yes, they're both 1/35.
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Your paintwork is always so crisp and neat John. Carl
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks Jeff! There's definitely a lot of parts in the box for something so small. But so far it's all fit fit together so I can't really complain.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    I think the kit has decals for one of these.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    When I think of a Dingo, I think of Mad Max's dog from Road Warrior.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks Martin! There's a silly amount of detail crammed into the kit. And there isn't even an engine.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    The Miniart instructions don't have any colour recommendations for the interior so I used ones from the Tamiya 1/48 kit. Basically everything is green with leather seats . I used Ammo acrylic SCC1A for the interior followed by a dry brushing with Tamiya weathering pastels. All closed up. With that done, I attached it to the chassis. And that's it for the moment. I'm enjoying the build much more this time around. Carl
