Hi all, i've set myself a challenge. The challenge is, take one old kit and try to bring it up to date. It just so happens it's the old 1975 Tamiya M10 Tank Destroyer, and ideal for the 'Tank Busters SIG' too. So here we go.
The box and what you get in it. It was battery operated but now selling as a static model, some nice detail in the turret but not upto todays standards. You get a tub to fit in the hull to represent to floor, and it's that tub that spoil it (for me anyway). It's to high because it used to have the batteries but, i have an idea.

What i'm going to need for the update, ok it's not an update it's styrene sheet. I'm going to get the engineers in to fit a roof in the field, and while they're at it i'll get them to make up a hedgerow cutter too.

Made a start, parts for the roof, holes filled and casting work going on.
