John,looks a class kit that camo looks class if you go for it and the start of all armour kits i hate the most wheels wheels
I get that completely Dave. My 263 armoured car if finished last year would have looked great with the aerial array deployed…..trouble is it would have been far too tall for the cabinet. Looking at the video again, it struck me exactly how useless this think would be in deployment. Apart from your comments about hills and soils, the resulting trench is no good for occupying troops. It is too long and straight. Great for laying pipes and cables, but ineffective for military defence. Any artillery round dropping in the trench would simply expend its destructive force along the works until that force ran out. Usually trenches zig zag to contain explosions and minimise this effect.……still a great looking piece thoughTim,
I'm seeing how the model goes, I don't have to make a decision about bucket wheel up, or down until near the end of assembly. One of the major problems with showing the beast in operation is the sheer size needed, not only long & wide, but deep as well..............

Having separate tyres for the road wheels certainly speeds things up, no careful painting, or tedious masking!

Road wheels glued - Sprockets & idlers dry fitted, ready for the track links - I've desprued half of the links, ready for the dreary job of assembling the runs.
