Re: Craigs Bench
Good stuff, Craig. As discussed at Huddersfield, I'll dig my Quad and 25pdr out and have a look to see if it contains any of the gun crew figures. I've got it in my mind that it does but I could be totally wrong and I know you said that your boxing doesn't have the crew. If I've got them you can have them as I'm very unlikely to ever use them in a diorama or what have you.

Hmmm....I may have to invest in one as a tribute to the old Airfix 1/76 version I built many many years agoplanecrazyman61 wrote:Yes iggie it is and it goes together well with very little filler needed,limbar the same only the 25Pdr needed an amount of filler mainly on the framework

Re: Craigs Bench
I've been trying to clear through some of the half built kits siting in my cupboard of shame and pulled out something that was a failed GB DNF from the Desert Storm GB ,the 1/72 revell T72-M1 ,it still needed most of the small parts fitting to the turret and hull and the wheels and tracks fixing in place,this is the progress made this week
and today the rest of the wheels were fitted and the link and length tracks made up(1st completed effort in 1/72 scale) i'm not sure if the tracks for this kit are known to be a little short but i have a small gap to try to close up once they are painted
even though it was slow work doing the L&L tracks ,i decided to build another set of tracks these were for a Challenger 1
the challenger tracks were easier to put together and now their done the side skirts can be added

That cupboard of shame could house a family of 4!!
You have more patience than me Craig faffing with all those tracks. The results look good though.

Re: Craigs Bench
The T-72 and Chally looks great, Craig.
Thanks for the info on the M-47.

Re: Craigs Bench
hi i have built up the 1/72 airfix Ju-87 stuka for the North African Shared Build thread and is now ready to be primed and painted
I've also made a start on a Trumpeter 1/35 Challenger 2 OP.Telic boxing and will build/paint it as such
made a start by gluing the wheels and fitted part of the suspension onto the lower hull

Re: Craigs Bench
Your Stuka looks good; I enjoyed it when I built mine a couple of months back.
The Op Telic Challenger looks a good kit too, I have the Tamiya kit in the stash so will be interested to see how yours goes

Re: Craigs Bench
Nice looking work on the T-72 and the Challenger. I don't envy you painting that Stuka canopy.
