those windscreens..... always made me laugh. Whoever designed them I suspect didn't want to be in the draftsmen's office that day!

I think they were thick heavy bullet proof glass hence the small size of it.:smiling2: They look ridiculous don't they...

first apologies for lack of updates......as usual it all sort of come together at once and i was more interested in building than taking pics lol

put a bit of muddy weathering to it all, added some mud to the floor, tried MiG fixer for the first time,,,,,quite impressed

wasnt so impressed with all the bags and cargo that came with the kit so raided the spares box for somethings more suitable

more pics in the finished thread
