Right i have a thing for the English during the War and seeing as there isn't enough of it out there it gets on my tits. But when Ben wanted to swap this i was all over it like a bad Rash

We are having our First Model exhibit/swap meet thing that's open to the public on the 18th of next Month and i want to try and get this ready for it,

i will have a new barrel and some Rb stuff in the post this week, I will also be using some Fruils tracks used by the British on some of the Fireflys and they no rubber pads.

I will be using MiniArt British Tank Crew, With Hornet heads

And A MiniArt Base,

So First things First Wheels/Suspension.......... I taught German thanks were bad. All Ready for Primer that ill slap on now and paint tomorrow
