appart from the barrel and the front being a bit to big and a need of a respray i like it a lot :D it runs well and is very controlable after seeing some of the write up's i thought it was going to be quite cheep and not well made but im very pleased with the quality and it feels well made not tthat im a expert by any means but i like it :D

and since this top, turret and a box full of spares arrived from firefly keith sunday ( cheers bud)i can now make a E8 or a firefly ,

i have a mate who's very good with plastic modeling me a m/break and a better barrel i mite just do mine like that and save the tamiya hull for when dave gets shermans and get a second,
i was very surprised when the postie knocked the door apparently they have a massive backlog after the snow thanks again for all the spares you sent aswell keith much appreciated bud :thumbup:


madrob your bang on with the link thats who i bought from he was brillinat he checked the tank b4 it left said if i had any prob's he would help and so i didnt get hit he put just $50 value for me on form, carnt fault the guy

cheers andy
