Third try , don't EMOGE you'll lose text, had a nice little critique but don't feel like typing it for third time (angry face) so here it is yada-yada..... and what are tags?


P.S. not really angry (smiley face).........Jim

We have a special relationship so I am sure we can get over it   that is until the UK leaves the EU then according to President Obama, we will be at the back of the queue for trade deals but we can get over that too xD


Anyway, great subject.  I have built the MiniArt one and have another in the stash.  Kits apart, it is a lovely subject to build.  Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Thanks Ian, need to get into a regular build  as big dios do tend to scramble the brain a bit, but certainly will not abandon project and intend to finish by summer unless called away to some distant project which I have no control over but would like to stay close to home. Simple build really and I don't intend to overdo stowage etc... ...Jim

I agree Monica, very nice kit indeed , nothing like horrendous Svezda kit I built for Russian front Dio a few years back. Detail seems superb and hopefully I can get a bit of progress going on it soon. Oh ...the Missus calls them "smiley faces" also :x .............Jim

You know I was going to convert this kit to an ammo carrier  to accompany my SU152 in a vignette. Luckily Patrick has saved it ^_^ .....Jim

I enjoy a bit of political banter her and there, as long as the author, as in this instance, is aware of the fact that political debate is a no go on this forum. 


yes other fora may have it, this one does not and will not. as said an odd remark here and there you can get away with. If it gets to be a raging debate the brownie points will suffer.


in this thread there has been more about this than Jim's build, so let's get back on track and forget all this political pish.


At the request of Jim, I have removed all the political comments so the build thread can be found

Reprimanded and contrite am I and will stick to plastic if anything at all..............

 

[Guest]

Yep, let's get back to the build.  I accept responsibility for this as it was me that started it.  I apologise unreservedly.

 

[Pikeman]

Nice looking kit, I will be watching the build come together
