    Gecko amphibious LARC-V

    That's looking great Andy.Quite a few Larcs were used by the Argentinians in the Falklands and if you go to Hunstanton you can take a short sea trip on a modified one.

    Jon's T-62M in Afghanistan Trumpeter 1/35

    Just a bit behind with this! Impressed with the RMSh single link tracks from T-Rex Studios.No clean up,all track pin holes patent and nice detail.It says no glue required but a lot of the pins are fairly loose so just a spot of extra-thin does the trick.
