Size wise that doesn't look too bad. I was thinking it was going to be large enough to place the piano on the decking behind the aft turret.

I was under the impression that it was nearly 6ft long! That photo of the completed model is a bit deceptive.

I had a win on that there ebay lark last night. Won this wee cracker for a shockingly bargainus £34 notes.

Great reviews, all PE inc, decent tracks too. Might just need a barrel but happy days. Got my eye on a Tiger 1 auction thats finishing later today too. My missus will fooking kill me.....but as parcels arrive I'm going to blag it as potential Xmas pressies so go away while I hide them from you....Win.

Calling it done, otherwise more bits will get knocked off, damaged or eaten by passing yetis View attachment 274566

So you did that using braille AND no airbrush? I hate you.



Still with the hate @Halftrack

1/48 scale Hobbyboss, they do a version in 1/32 - they also do various single-seaters of the same, so there's a starter for you

When you get those watch makers glasses you'll make a lot better job on the paint work - you've managed to get loads of dabs of green on it and there's loads of blue gaps where you cant see properly.
