Nice one, Ian.
Go for the 'Berlin Brigade' camouflage - It's great fun to do... :cold-sweat:

There’s 2 kits in this box, so I will be doing the Berlin Brigade camo scheme at some point Ron.

Being 1/72 scale there are some small parts, but they are very clean very little clean up needed. Just very fiddly. I think it’s just a scaled down version of their 1/35 Chieftain.

Looking good Ian :smiling3:.
