Got to buy an extra Coolbank Stuart so why not convert it to a T8 Recon version.
First time actually running it, started cutting it to pieces before it had even started.

Here are two images of the 1:1 for anyone (like me) unfamiliar with this T8 reconnaissance vehicle: https://www.militaryimages.net/tags/t8- ... e-vehicle/
I looks like the trick here is making the .50 cal. ring. How'dja doit?

I have reused the ring that sits on the inside and holds the tower.
It is of course not 100% correct, but until I come up with something better, it will be like this, assembly is homemade.

I actually quite like this. It’s kind of cute. I’m off for therapy, and a play with something big and modern.
