This is looking bad A$$ Martin!! I have fond memories of this track as I was in an FA unit for around 7 years working on, driving and even firing that big gun. Jeez that thing was loud and it didn't make any difference if you knew when it was coming or not....when that thing was fired I shook from the blast every time. 
Great progress and I can't wait to see more.

Well done, Bish!

Thanks guys. Ye, quite a few fiddly bits, but not as many as there should have been if i had used more of the PE.

I wrapped this up last night. Once everything was together i used some pigmenst for final dust effects. I don't have a pic of this vehicle so i based the stowage on the photo's i have found. The fabric flag is from AMP and its a bit bigger that i had expected for a 35th flag and while the other one looked out of place on my Scimitar i don't think its so bad on this.
Its been nice to build an AFV Club kit thats not a 251. Just what i would expect from them. Nice kit and i am pleased with the end result.

Great finish on this one Bish! I love the Union Jack on the turret! There is no mistaking ownership on this one

Magnificent work! I love the flag as well. I am supposed to add one to my Nagmasho't but I'm still trying to figure out how to get the flag decal to go on the antenna without breaking up when dry.
