I should get the construction finished tonight so hopefully I can give it a lick of paint tomorrow! The chassis is very detailed with everything included. The interior is done. The chipping was all done with a fine brush. I also used quite a lot of pigment as this is going to be a Afrika Korps vehicle. Here's the body all done. All that photo etch comes with the kit.

Looks great and like the Engine as most kits do not have this in. This thread is getting better than ever with all thease great builds Edited by foxy, Jul 4 2011, 01:17 PM.

Advanced Member Posts: 151 Group: IPMS Member Member #313 Joined: January 15, 2011	Yes I have, very inspirational although the techniques used on my one are a bit more involved. Anyway, she'd done although I'll put the final pictures in the relevant forum when I've finished the base.

Happy modeler Posts: 2,237 Group: Members Member #330 Joined: February 5, 2011	I agree on How good Hobbyboss kits are, have a few in the stash. But when they show a picture with crew in you would think that comes with the kit, but now a day's you need to read the small print . Very nice finish Haggis. I am sure you may have a spare crew or crew's to go with your vehicle/ base !!!!!! . Edited by foxy, Jul 14 2011, 08:52 AM.

Newbie Posts: 5 Group: Members Member #546 Joined: July 22, 2011	Hi Haggis, Super job! I've yet to try a Hobbyboss kit, but this has convinced me the quality's there. As you can all see I'm new here? Looks like a interesting forum, But I can't seem to find anywhere to introduce myself? I could'ent even find out how to post or reply to a post, but as I belong to other forums, I just went with what I know and it seems to have worked. But a raw newbie might not be so lucky!! You might guess by my user name I am mostly a Tank man, but I do the odd car, figure, sorry I can't remember when I last did any aircraft!! Now before the days out I must add a couple of post of my own. Always good to hear from other modellers. Regards Mel. Edited by PanzerMan, Jul 23 2011, 11:23 AM.
