Nice work Saxon - hopefully you won't have any last minute woes with this one, unlike the SHAR.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Thanks guys and yeah it all went smoothly, one thing about this kit is the canopy, lucky it is a simple one as it does not have defined canopy frames!

Anyway all done.

Excellent result Saxon, I occasionally build airliners so am used to seeing blacked out glazing, I like it, great work.
