Hi Tim,Not something I know anything about, so I’ll look in from time to time and try to pick up some tips!
Nice one Scottie! Sometimes things just "grab" you don`t they..... as far as planes go,there are several i`d like to do,but the hassle i`ve had with fuselage/wing halves fitting in the distant past put me off!Andy,
I'm in mate. I know what you mean there are some things that are just a must. I don't build aircraft they have no interest for me but I keep looking at the Grumman Avenger, there is just something about it.
Ah,the Lizard,go down that way often for work.... Drift,St.Just,Leah etc.... Tis nice....as long as the weather is!!Hi Andy. We're down on the Lizard, out of the way. Down a dead end lane in an old bungalow. Living the dream...
I say "out of the way" but we very nearly had that BAE Hawk down the chimney the other day. Crashed about 2 miles away. Saw them come over, heard the crump as it hit the deck. Life in the sticks....
Good luck with the build !
Carrying on now Mr.Race!!Room for an old one on the front row Andy ?
Like you I'm normally into WW2 but this looks an interesting model.
Carry on please.
Hi Jakko,I built this one 25+ years ago, when it was the only kit of the vehicle. As I recall, typical Tamiya in that it builds up easily enough, but also typically Old Tamiya in that it’s missing a lot of detail, like, oh, sponson floors Agreed that it has that something that makes it an attractive-looking vehicle, unlike its bigger brother, the M47.
Hello Andrew,Interesting Andy. Well be interested in his this turns out.

Ah Paul,i was hoping you`d pop in,your knowledge of all things American will be MOST appreciated mate,They served notably in VN as surplus. I've also always thought they were "right". Love the turret shape and thought the travel lock unique.
You and me both Bob!!Count me in Andy, i know totally bugger all about lots and lots, including this tank thingy machine!!!
Hey Jim,Great little kit, did one myself not too long ago.
It does build into one impressive looking little tank.
Jim.
Lee,I hope all`s well with you and yours mate,This was my first 1/35 tank and it’s always been my favorite just look at my avatar. I’ll be watching
Richard,Couldn't believe they were still trying to sell it to third world countries back in the early eighties. I saw one up close in the first pre LIMA show in KL dressed in desert yellow with some upgrades. My first experience of rubber fenders on the front and back.
Built one eons ago and nearly put it in a dio as a German panzer thanks to hollywood movies.
Lovely shaped tank and still is. Got my bean bag ready and see how this shapes up.
Cheers,
Richard
It certainly does Mike.... as RATT once said..... "Scratch that itch"!!Andy,
If you have an itch, it has to be scratched, looking forward to what you do with this old 'un.
Mike
Hey Si,how you doing buddy?!Hiya Andy,
Look forward to see you work your magic with this, hope it plays ball for you mate
Thanks we’re doing good my wife has no side affects but I’m still fighting them. That tank has a special place in my heart. Thanks for the complementLee,I hope all`s well with you and yours mate,
I`ve had a very close look at your avatar pic,and i must say,you certainly made a very nice job of it!
Tim!! Not sacrilegious at all Sir,(I don`t think?!!).Looking good Andy. Might be sacrilegious, but it looks a bit like a Chaffee on steroids!
