    Nice work jim , not familiar with this tank ( but then I am mainly aircraft ) , looks very compact , low silhouette . I bet it was easy to hide but a squeeze for the crew .

    FROG 1/72 de Havilland DH 60 g Gypsy Moth

    FROG 1/72 de Havilland DH 60 g Gypsy Moth

    Got this started today , plenty to get my teeth into ! First off the top and bottom wings had some nasty ejector pin marks which were filled and sanded carefully to preserve as much of the raised detail as possible.There was one more big mark bang in the middle of the wing fuel tank section ...
