Nice one John. I did the one with the dozer blade for the Challenger challenge a while back. It builds up well.

Very nice kit, should be a nice Challenge!

Think the Challenger I'm building would be easier to park lol.

Here we go then, so i started the dozer blade just to see if i liked the thing. Still needs some work but i'm liking what i see (plus, i can try some nice weathering later haha).

[Guest]

Actually, with that on it, yours would be easier to park as anything in the way quickly wouldn't be!

A little more work on the blade, some filling just to tidy up. Went together that nice i could get it to work, but i glued it all up so i can't play with it later hehe.

Thought it was time to start the hull. Turning out to be a nice kit, so why it's been in the stash for so many years is anyones guess lol. Next will be adding all the detail to the hull then it's onto the turret.
