Can't say I did much of a build, but it was fun to put together.
As I said there were things I like and things I didn't like.

Love that all the hatches open but there is no way to place crewmen.
I am trying now to ad hoc a platform to hold up a Commander.

I went for a 2nd Battle of El Alamein Desert Rats theme.

I will post pictures.

I also have extra parts and decals from Stormbringer in case you need anything,

Well, it looks as if I'd better start on my Crusader next. I will start by digging out the books. Meanwhile post away michealwhittmann.I have a few unpainted UK tankers from Canada, so I may have a crew.

A little primer, a little paint, an enamel wash, a little sandy pigment mix (applied with an index finger), a little stowage, a little battle damage, a little crusty sand from the family recipe
and VOILA!!

Just needs a crew.
