discussion Completed: Bowcat's Meng Bradley M2A3 IFV

[Mr Bowcat]

It's finally done!

This build has been my most epic to date and has taken 106 days (albeit I was in Cyprus for 14 of those).

It may not sound a lot, but i've only been modelling since January this year, and most of my other builds have only taken 30 to 40 days.

I really feel I have taken a step forward with this one, I have learnt a lot of new skills & techniques, and I think I've learnt to really pay attention to detail on every part.

Anyway, enough waffle, on with the pics!

Hi Bob,
Really great looking model the detailing is fabulous.
Could you please tell me how many models you have built to get to this stage. I am looking at my first tank build and don't know whether to go for 1/35 scale or 1/16 scale.
Cheers
Dave
