Hi folks small update.


As there were no insignia decals supplied by Tamiya which was slightly disappointing for the price £22. I brought some £7 and they turned up so now I can progress .


Although the gun was fiddly with lots of tiny parts it went together very well. I did however have to drill wheels and axle hubs and use metal from a paper clip to attach wheels as the attachment points of these was IMHO pathetic. ( see pics) so on with some paint next. Thanks for looking in and any comments left cheers John more laters............View attachment 240688
