My favourite all time British panzer! About time Tamiya up dated the painting instructions and box cover!
As I said, glacial speed on this one compared to the Bedford. Just sorting the tracks out

She’s had me moving furniture around all day so I’ve not managed to make a start on the Wokka, but the rest of my bits for the Mat turned up today.
think the pots I got are a tad big!
and
these are the blokes I’m planning to use to make my gunners.
What’s the battle plan? Are we supposed to start a thread for tour build or put the build in here?

I used some of the above in 1:48 - the detail and spares are impressive - however, would gunners have had exactly the same webbing as infantry (entrenching tool, bayonets etc) also - did they use the No4 SMLE in N. Africa/Italy?

The webbing will be taken off with a dremel. These lads are having greatcoats on as it’s winter. No webbing in site.
Im assuming everyone would have carried and SMLE but I will stand corrected if anyone knows what drop shorts would have been armed with

I think you mean the Wokka, Wicca services are generally shorter than Si's Wokka build by a number of years .....thankfully for the congregation
The end date is June I believe, for the Group build rather than the Wokka

OC Domestic had my shifting furniture around all day yesterday and I'm completely knackered today, and I have to do a couple of hours of the worky thing unfortunately.
Wokka will be picked up today and I was going to get organised to finish the Mat. I should be able to run both in parallel and complete the Wokka in 12-16 weeks I reckon.
Are we running up separate build threads for the war in the desert?
It will take as long as it takes
