That looks excellent Stik, tgat's really starting to come together. What do you use for your whip antenna?

Thanks Stuart. The shorter antenna is a piece of brass rod, while the taller one is a brass aftermarket item. I bought a set of four awhile back, had a couple of them left over and decided to use one on this project.

By the time you are done there will only be room for the driver!

Yeah, it would be a tight fit for the three man crew. But somehow the IDF makes 'em fit in there...

That is excellent work! I had one of Tamiya's Jeep variations on a wish list for a while, this may push it from the list to the cart...

Tom & Robert, thank you.

I’d like to pick up the Tamiya Grenada M151A2 to build one day. It’s just really pricey for a slightly upgraded version of the basic kit.

That'll be cool to see, but no, it's not a often seen kit.

Have you seen this?

No I hadn’t seen that before. Something to keep in mind for my other Tamiya M151 projects someday… Thanks for the heads up Stuart.
