There's a lot packed into a little kit there Tony. I remember doing these as a young un but I never had that particular one. Look forward to it.Wish I had one myself so I could join in the fun and nostalgia of it all. Cheers John

Never too late john , revell reboxed all the 1/76 kits so they shouldnt be too hard to find , the Wespe is a beauty , i did it a few years ago , comes with a desert base and palm tree! I remember the Montys Caravan and Humber scout car had a wrecked street complete with fallen statues etc!

Thanks mate, with a very small brush! This is definitely one of Matchbox's best kits. Looking forward to seeing how you get on.

A gentle reminder......

Sorry to be a real bore, raise eyebrows and alienate myself even more from members, but I have a job to do.

Admin. did ask that no unsolicited finished builds are to be posted on another thread.

Cheers.

My apologies, I didn't see that bit. I blame the wine.

Alex, no need to apologize for a mere hiccup.

Enjoy the wine.....and more hiccups!
