Here is my recently completed Africa Korp Panzer II which I started around 1985. Just goes to show that you can't rush these things.
I added a little extra stowage but it is basically an OOB build.
I must confess that armour is not my area of expertise so please forgive any errors on my part. I think this is only the second 1/35 I've ever finished so I suppose I should be happy with that.
It does look very nice on my shelf though so you never know it may get some company soon.
Hope you like it.

Nicely done, OT. There's nothing wrong with a long-term project, why rush things? Although maffs is not my strong point, my calculations would suggest that starting in 1985 equates to a 32 year build rather than 20 though

You are correct Shaun, I seem to have lost a decade somewhere. Now where did I put it?ShaunW wrote:Nicely done, OT. There's nothing wrong with a long-term project, why rush things?

Thanks for the kind words guys. Perhaps there will be more tanks in my future?
