Cheers guys, next step is to cut up some of the tools and tow ropes and then just attach the brackets back on, and then get the airbrush back out and darken it some more. The best thing for me about giving a old tank a new look is you dont care about it so much anymore and im a bit more willing to cut bits off, where as if it was a new kit i would have built it as standard and fitted every piece that comes with the kit :crazy: OH, and its cheaper :haha:
