Ian,
Apologies but this has passed me by. Great idea for a scene. Spent a lot of time checking those turrets.

 

[Graeme C.]

Nice work Ian, will make a nice diorama with the Stalwart.

 

[papa 695]

Got all the turret put together, just needs painting. Then I can put the camo on and start building the fuel tanks for the Stalwart.

That's coming on very nicely. I see they're not the cheapest kits around but then the quality does look very good from what I've seen. Does the quality warrant the price on your opinion.

Sorry for the stupid question just realised you get two kits in the box..... So very well worth the price looking at it.

Hi Andrew, they are very nice kits indeed, like I said earlier being 1/72 there a bit fiddly, but well worth the money.

 

[outrunner]

Looking really good.

Andy.

Fiddly or not.........that is going to make a terrific scene when you get it done Ian. :thumb2:

[papa 695]

It’s been a while but I’ve got the turret painted, well I say painted, I’ve got to put the black on, and do all the fine detail work. I’ve also started to make the fuel tanks.
