The etch all looks very neat, very nice job mate.
Hi JakkoIf you want some realism advice: don’t put all those stowage onto your model Or at least, not where it’s shown in the box-top photo. The box at the left front of the engine deck, the one with the jerrycans on top, blocks two things the crew would probably consider to be fairly important: a cooling air intake for the engine and the radio operator’s escape hatch.
I get the impression that many of these stowage sets include all kinds of parts just for the sake of having stuff on the vehicle.I'd already clocked that it was more than slightly overloaded and not in the most sensible places either.
That alone is a reason not to go overboard. You really improved the way the model looks, from a mediocre 1970s kit to one that looks almost like a brand-new oneThere's probably enough for two kits on there anyway plus covering the engine grilles would cover all my hard etch-work too.

Vey impressive work Andrew.
Tiny bits of metal all over, that is some amazing detail you're adding here. Great work.

Hi Andrew
Just had a catch up. Very neat PE work. I think PE is something that gets easier with practice - same as most things I suppose. It certainly is very useful at adding some nice extra detail although very often some of the PE on the fret doesn't really add much. You'll find the bender very useful even if not essential. Jakko is right about the stowage set in that it's probably best to study what is most realistic.
Keep up the great work

Must agree on bringing a ho-hum model into something remarkable. PaulE
Andrew looking good
Thanks Fernando.Looking very very nice with all those etch upgrades to the venerable Tammy kit Andrew
You are overestimating me on all counts, but thank youJakko, coming from someone with your encyclopedic knowledge, attention to detail and skills, I'll take that as a compliment.
Thanks Tim, although I think you overestimate my abilities! Either that or your eyes are overdue their annual check up!Hey Andrew, if you can cope with the etch to the standard that you have, the track links will be a doddle.
Well done Andrew, I think you’ve made a great job of the etch parts and the whole build
I’m with Tim on the tracks, seeing how you coped with the etch i have every confidence you’ll get them together no problems
Very nice Andrew. Lovely modelling!
