Hi folks. This is PJ's (my grandson) entry to this GB. Apologies but I got a bit carried away with all the excitement and got PJ to paint the tyres before I took pics!

Hi PJ
Nice choice of kit. The Germans loved their half-tracks. I'll follow with interest.

I'm in for this Dave and PJ, or is it PJ and Dave??? He should have fun building it and that's what it's all about. Good, that it has link and length tracks too, so no big headaches there...

Prost

PJ got some more done to this when he came round on Monday:

You may notice that the front shield attachment points are both missing from those curved arms at the top. They broke off when PJ cut the parts from the sprue. I've suggested he paints the shields and fixes the attachment points to them. Then he'll have something better to hold the parts together while the cement sets.
