Thanks Duke. I was the same when I wanted to scratch build an ASLAV many years ago with the lack of references. Now, with the explosion of the internet It is a treasure trove of information. Along with so many different brand of paints, detail sets and diorama accessories to a build the...

Thank you for your words. James, Some minor mods on our Abrams are the fridge in the stowage basket and the reinforced umbrella holder inbetween the Loaders hatch and the commander's hatch and an electrical box on the rear of the turret for the power of the fridge. The Meng kit is pretty spot...

Thanks Piet, I see you have a few books there in the photo , could you please take a photo of all the books or let us know what books to get. There are a few publications out there on the Schnell and it's pretty hard to work out which book would be the most valuale to your work. Michael

Thanks Piet, I had been an avid follower of Fledermaus over at PlanetArmour on the Schnellboote. He too did an awsesome job on the S Boote But you two are way better in detailing the boats. I am going to detail the schnell but try and take the quick path because it's huge. :laugh: Michael

OMG Piet WOW Michael

Thanks Guys appreciate your words. The latest E boat from Italeri did not capture my attention as I think they may have not address the forward 2cm mount. If the problem is still there then Italeri have let themselves down. Michael

Thanks Mike. This is the first time building the Meng brand and was surprised to see how much detail was in the Meng M1A1. Michael

Thanks Guys, The M1A1 is taking all the attention. It will be a fast build now. The track was always going to be the pain of the build. It's all downhill now. Michael
