AFV Club FV101 Scorpion

[wasdale32]

AFV Club 1:35 FV101 Scorpion - built pretty much OOB with some homemade stowage. Nice kit to accompany my earlier Scimitar.

A quick build so I didn't go down the aftermarket tracks or updates route.

Nice one Mark....what did you use for the lenses in your vehicle's optics?

Mark,
That is a cracking result mate.

I use self adhesive holographic film designed for a Cricut stencil cutter. The roll is about £10 and is about 30cm wide by a metre or so. Enough to last a lifetime.

Next is a Sabre when the SMM conversion arrives.

How thick is it and where would one find it?....sorry to be a bother but I really like the effect. :thumb2:

Comparing it against my plastic card stock I'd guess it's about 10 thou with the backing paper removed. If you're in the UK then it's sold in Hobbycraft, https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/634057....002&quantity=1
