Windy's Char B1 Bis and FT 17 (1/76) Matchbox GB

[Windy]

Finished quicker than I expected! Always wanted to build this one and for a kit that's nearly forty years old I'm pretty happy with it. Might add a couple more pictures later but I need to cook dinner first.

Very fine work Alex.

[Neil Merryweather]

Now that is Very Nice Indeed

[Windy]

Thanks chaps! I really enjoyed this one. It's a kit I've always wanted to build but never got around to and it's slightly out of the ordinary which makes it more interesting. Glad you like it.

That is a great result...Good looking camo on both machines. Well done. Rick H.

[Tim Marlow]

Looks great to me as well. Always liked the early war stuff and you’ve done it proud!

[Windy]

Thanks guys. Couple more pics of the FT 17. Attaching the tow chain was a right fiddle! The only thing that really lets the kit down is the wretched rubber band tracks. Even after scrubbing vigorously with washing up liquid and an old toothbrush the paint tried to flake off. Plenty of mud hides the damage though!

Lovely work.I adored these mini dioramas when i was 11,Always wanted to collect them all but sadly only ever had this one and the L.R.D.G one and one other.Matchbox kits i loved back then.
Good work!!!.

I always liked these, and you’ve made very nice models of them.

[Windy]

Thanks again guys. They're fun little builds and interesting subjects too. I've built three of them in the last year, this one, the LRDG set and the 17 Pdr and Morris C8.

Thats jogged my memory!,I had the morris and 17pounder kit.
