Eddie I see it and it's very nice! I've always wanted to build one of these. Are the base version available to purchase on a specific website?

Thanks

Carl

Hi Carl, Revell do a 1/16 kit you need a 1951/1952 version with the split rear screen. But they are around £50+.

I got a diecast 1/18 version, this is a early 1951 with the round rear lights, just like the ones used in WW2, I got it cheap, but they go for around £40+. I thought the metal version would suit better to handling as it is for the tank days.

Si:)

I see the metal 1:18 version and the revelle kit version online. I will go with your choice since its much easier for me to afford and will be much more durable for sure. Thanks Eddie

No problem, glad I could help.

The metal version is just a few screws underneath and it all comes apart so makes repainting a lot easier, once dry just re-fasten up and off you go :D
