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

How long have we got for this group build, or is the aim just to finish before the Wicca?

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
