Here I present you my attempt at the British Bulldog.
It's taking long enough to get to the end, mojo, moving... I won't bore you!
Nice kit, although I always struggle with link and length as well as link tracks! Sausage fingers!
I think I might need to renew my clear green, it's not flowing like it should.

Figures? Yeah maybe one day
C&C welcome
Thanks for looking in

Lee well done , that bar armour looks hard enough on its own with out having track covers.
The committee here at Race Towers were impressed enough to award you a ,

Lovely job. That really looks the part. Always surprised by how complex modern vehicles are. It must make them very fragile during building and painting.

Thank you everyone.
The bar armour is a cheat, its moulded as one piece but in separate modules, an easy cheat! I definitely wouldn't try an after market bodge together bit by bit armour! Nope, no chance, not a hope in hell!

Thanks Jim.
Yes it looks busy but the left overs are more busy so many bits that are for the standard FV432... I got lost building the kit but that's not unusual for me! Lol

Lee,
That's a cracking result mate. It's a lot different to the 432's of my day.

Thanks Paul.
When I first saw the Bulldog, I thought someone was having a laugh but as a veteran like so many of us on here, I thought, hang on! It's not broken so why fix it! Throw a few mechanical steroids into the mix and hey presto! An uparmoured 432...

A brilliant build of a strange looking beast. I like it.
