Probably a bit late now for you on this one Splash, but Eduard have a set on the way for improving it... (Ref: 72617 is their product code for it.) I will wait and see what you get with the etch set before I start mine, as I also want to see what other decals I can source for mine

Cheers for the heads up Chris.

I have two more in my stash so I will keep an eye out for the Eduard set.

The stairs looks much improved, the lightening holes are very evident in pics.

I'm calling this one finished, it still need some role equipment added and the HF arials and some oil staining down the sides.

I would fully recommend this kit as its easy to build and looks looks like a Mk4 Seaking, it's not perfect but Airfix have done a great job and given us a good base model to work on.

Airfix may have given us a good base model but your skill and workmanship have made a real gem of that.

Cheers for all the comments guys, Airfix have done an excellent job of making an easy kit to build that is easy to make it look good, I thought at first it had been slightly over engineered like some of their other kits, but it turns out not to be the case as the kits parts fit together without any issues.

Top work there, Alan.
It really fits the desert colors.
