I set the Kenworth aside for a bit. Needed a break from it.

This little feller is on the bench of chaos.

I needed something with easier to follow instructions.

And, I've gotten a little bit done.

I like how the springs came out, but know that they will need to be repainted after the hull is painted...unless I can get some tape on them.

Looks like a simple, quick build. Similar quick build to the Panzer Kampfwagen II Ausf, F/G I did back in 2021.

Not too bad, Tom. There are a surprising number of tiny bits, though.

There was. Set of English included. I was being a smart a** comparing them to the AMT stuff.
