Not bad at all! Still holding out for a cheap second hand one. But I've made a full inventory of my projects and what stands out is I need to finish what I've got!

Hi All,
Well seams we're on the last lap of my M51 build
so tomorrow will start mixing my paint getting all the electrics in and tidy final run check. Might put the first coat on the top and bottom hull units.also seen the verlinden modern Jerry can set in 120mm and it includes 3 IDF type cans so will get two sets of them so I have the right type on the tank.so that's it for now wIll post some photos as soon as the parts are on.TA-TA for now. Brian...
