Made a start on this last night:

Make sure the lower hull is kept square during assembly.

Looks good Tony. Does the metal barrel come with it.

 

[Jakko]

It says it does on the box top (you can just make it out at the start of the third line below “1/35th scale”).

 

[Tony Lee]

Yes it does Papa and there is another metal part that goes to the turret side mounted 30 cal.

Looks neat Tony, I've just done a T40S that came with the kit, makes the whole thing look better.

They're an added bonus alright John but i've been lucky with not having trouble with plastic barrels so far.

Hi Tony, good to see you again, looks like a very tidy build. As you said the metal barrels where a nice bonus.

Nice looking tank Tony, my version of " made a start " is the lids off the box

 

[Tony Lee]

Mick even that is more than some

Hi Tony,
Good to see you building again, and a little belter to boot.

Nice little kit, am watching.

[Steve Jones]

A cracking build Tony. Did this one have the modified grenade launchers on the front side of the turret?

 

[Tony Lee]

You got me,the kit didn't.

Tony,
These light tanks have always had a place in my heart. When I was a teenager I used to live for the next issue of G.I. Combat comic books and the adventures of the "Haunted Tank". Anyone remember?
Cheers, Rick H.

Sure. It was a little more believable when they got their Sherman. I did a little dio of them sneaking up on a Panther w/ghost of Jeb Stuart above them. One of my first. PaulE
