Wow, that's going to be great.

11 little wheels, tells me it's a Churchill.

I spend to much time playing 'world of tanks' not to know this!

Iooks really detailed and complex, looking forward to progress pics

Correct ๐Ÿ‘Œ itโ€™s a Churchill MK IV AVRE Bridge Builder, Royal Engineers, 1944.

Itโ€™s taken ages to complete the running gear. All individual suspension units too.

Youโ€™ve got a good eye for detail bud ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿš’

Thank you Mr J. The new primer is bloody good. Went to Hannants model shop in Colindale to pick it up.

Looking fantastic the level of detail on the kit is amazing.

Think I'm a way off getting an airbrush just yet!

My latest one is nearly done, just decals and some effects to go on

Hoping pics early next week

Hey Rich. Thank you. Itโ€™s a great kit but very technical. Iโ€™m just starting on the exhausts today but have to fit in a swim and a run too.

Looking forward to seeing your latest build. Consider an airbrush, they are easy to use and theirs lots of advice on YouTube. Have a look at the airbrush company.com

Thanks, I'll look at that.

Latest build done, what a pain. The wheels keep snapping of the suspension units, just annoying as hell.

But I'm happy with the mini diorama and the paint I've done.

So happy I've started on the next

I can't believe that we've got Crafts, Gardening, Computer Games, but not model cars, trains...!

Just don't call them toys!

My particular hobby was 1/10th scale radio controlled car racing. I'm now looking to get into radio controlled planes. We have some Airfix model builders in here and Lego builders too. Any type of model vehicles really! Planes, trains, automobiles... boats, helicopters, anything! Come join in! :-) G
