I will be building the Showcase 1/35 Bushmaster in ADF colours.
I have uploaded several photos of the kit and some actual pictures of the Bushmaster in action which I will display when Photobucket lets me.
The model will end up as part of a dio. with an ASLAV Phase 3, a 1/16 figure, several 1/35 figures and a 1/72 helicopter.

and the bird ?

I think that gunner needs to aim further in front if he wants to hit the bird

What! Emus are protected!

Great to see some photos from you Dai!

That's an Emu trained to recognize IEDs running alongside the Bushmaster as an outrider!

Only takes one inch of trigger and it's the...err...protected Emu for the stewpot, wonder if they taste like Ostrich?

Nice to see a bit of man-sized 1/35th building in this GB and an interesting bit of modern equipment it is too.

wonder if they taste like Ostrich?

I believe they taste more like chicken.

I'll be off line for the next 2-3 days due Henry Lawson Festival, Fun Run (oximoron),Art Competion and Guinepig Races.

Emu tastes a bit like oiley chicken.

I'd rather have the oily chicken...

Have a good time Dai. Do you have any runners in the Guineapig races?

[Molly-new]

Doesn't KFC stand for "Karn't Find the Chicken"?

Update
Running gear attached to chassis and painted. Tool and other boxes also on and painted.
About to start on the insides with lots of gloss (satin) white.

Photos tomorrow.

A story on last nights news here was on the completion of the 1000th vehicle by the manufacturer Thales. It also made mention that 3 had been in IED attacks with no casualties to any crew. A comforting thought for those who travel in them.
