Don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these being built so interesting to see what it’s like.
I’m sure you’ll do it justice :thumb2:

Hi Pete - I recently got one of these and the Haynes. If I ever get around to it the plan is to do it as a dilapidated range target

Bought some worn track links for it - metal links with individual pock marked rubber pads

To be honest: it’s a Tamiya kit, and therefore it builds like a Tamiya kit
