Well,managed to get some picks up! They`re very much "Warts an` all"
I had a real Mare with the decals for some reason,although with some subtle "Smoke" stains and netting they should be disguised nicely ;) ,there was some trepidation trying to get the RPG screen to fix to the hull,as shown by that frozen drop of glue!!...... but again,that can be hidden!
One thing i am fairly happy with though,is the damage on that screen to the netting itself ,the frame and the bracket.
As always,thanks for looking in and your thoughts are much appreciated :thumb2: .
Now for some responses to those figure comments from the Mob at the back!!:smiling5:

Dunno if you guys all check out the "Latest Acquisitions" ......
...... but if you do,you may`ve noticed that i bought one of these......

Wanted one for a while,but too expensive in the past,I`ve decided to add this onto the same Dio as my Sheridan;),
I have figures already and some on the way!!..... With my Buddist figure,(Remember him Steve?!!:blow-kiss-2:),on a scratch built base,i have quite the scenario planned!!
Here`s the 113 currently....... Primered and up to stage 6 build wise completed...... The "Tub".......

Came in one piece,(Apart from the wheel`s assemblies obviously:smiling5:.......
1135.jpg
For such an old Tamiya,it does have some quite nice details.... the destructions even suggest a mod you can make with some plasticard and bits of "Extras" provided for an up gunned version!:thumb2:,It does come with "A Full Interior",not sure about that....... but it should build up to be very respectable!!

White was suggested for the interior colour,but i`ll check that out.
No matter what,with what i have in mind,i`m hoping to produce something of interest!!..... We`ll see though!!
Cheers Chaps,
As always,all comments more than welcomed,and thanks for even just looking in!:thumb2:

Early 113s used gasoline powered small block Chevy V8s which proved thirsty & subject to overreving by motorheads who disabled governors. In 1964 V6 diesels were introduced & much later replaced w/MB V8s.

O yes Andy, I certainly do remember! My diorama is coming on leaps and bounds but I'm frustrated by having to wait for some aftermarket extras such as M16s and M79s etc. My Bravo 6 figures work well with the Tamiya crew I think - vegetation is still my bugbear though! May have to pay Richard to produce some of his superb work! Have just spent a week undertaking building work at my wife's school but the blessed weekend, wine and bench has just arrived - oorah!
