Looking forward to this, it's one massive and well detailed kit

You only have 3 months you know :laughing:

 

[djellis10]

3 months i know......im gonna be a new daddy in may as well. fingers crossed

 

[andygh]

Oh well, it'll give you something to do when you're up all night :thumbs-up:

 

[djellis10]

Ha ha. Not looking forward to the lack of sleep thing. But yes more build time. Let's hope baby doesn't eat any small parts! Can't have missing detail can we.

I was drooling over this kit at the Hinckley show last Sunday, looks very nice.

Any chance of a quick review on it Graham?

[Fenlander]

The kit or the show? I didn't get the kit but I do have a few pics from the show

 

[Lancasterb1]

The show, would like to see what was there and if you did look inside the kit box ............................

Cheers

Andy

 

[Fenlander]

I didn't dare pick up the box, they have a nasty habit of sticking to my fingers forcing me to have to buy them.....

I have put a post in the shows section as we are hijacking this thread, sorry djellis

 

[Lancasterb1]

I have the Cyber-Hobby 1/35 Opel Blitz that came a few weeks ago, I may have a crack at that as soon as I have finished the build I am on now. I think I posted pictures on the latest acquisitions thread. So as April is fast approaching .................... by the way djellis like the look of that model, looks to be a LOT of parts in there and knowing Tamiya there won't be many spare parts! Good luck with the build, look forward to seeing it come together.

Forget it. put the lid back on the box. Your life will no longer be your own, come back in about about 7 years time !!

I was going to do one of those but some bugger beat me to it.

So are you going to start the GB thread and show us what was in the box?

Coming along well DJ. What is it about tank transporters. All the ones I can think of all have a very functional look to them but are not the easiest things on the eye. The Dragon wagon, the Scammel, Even the Faun that I am doing are not exactly pretty are they.

I was surprised to see that the Dragon Wagon was a Chain drive. Wonder how long a set of chains and sprockets lasted on one of those!?!!?!

Good morning all,

I was just wondering if the above would qualify for this GB ? No, not the Stirling, but the little tractor thing under it.

Whilst it's not a truck / lorry, it does have a load ! What do we think, am I stretching it a bit too far ?

Regards

Colin M...........

If its a truck and its carrying or pulling a load I would say go for it. Start a thread and post away.
