I would say it 1/6 scale looking at the rifle on the other pic but it's looking good! :thumbup:

Update:
Well the new year has begun and so has work on the carrier. Here are a few pics of the front section with the vision ports detailed, folding side section locking device added, rotateing gunnershield detailed, bullet deflector strips added to the front deck, and 151 hand formed rivits made and glued in place. The rivits were made by sanding a dome shape to the end of a section of sprue then the domed section cut off and glued in place. Still have a couple hundred rivits to form for the rest of the hull. As always comments welcomed.... Harold

Update:
Work continues on the carrier. Have applied about 99% of the rivits, re-worked the vision port mechanisms(re-oriented to the correct directions), temporarily attached the exterior vision port covers. Added the rear steps, painted the forward crew compartment, and sterring linkages. Here are the latest pics of the carrier. As always your comments are greatly appreciated..... Harold

Update;
Here are the latest pics. Forward crew compartment is almost done, just need to make the "Oh My God" bars(grab handles either side of the gunners shield) and the brengun mount. Then on to the rear compartment. The steering wheel is alot darker in normal light flash makes it appear brown. The instrument panel came out quite nice. As always comments are welcomed..... Harold
