Two more from John ICM re-box. They have literally just taken the ICM kit as moulded and packed by ICM and put it in a new box with a new set of nice Revell instructions. Looks like a nice kit cheap and cheerful old Zvezda kit that needs quite a bit of work -

Scimitar CVR(T) in the Falklands 1982
1/35 Laurie Hi Jon, don't know if it is the same for Scimitar but I found that the engine deck louvres were backward on the kit compared to the Scorpion vehicle I took reference pictures of so have made a new set of louvres quite a lot of other details don't match either- SimonT

after a right struggle I finally managed to get the shovel in place the etch part designated for the handle support was already used for a light on the front track guard so had to make one from a section of the fret as nothing else jumped out of the etched bits as being correct lost the handle...- SimonT
