Man that looks fun. I think the photo of the Griffon hinge tool is what prompted me to get one.

Thanks for the memories :dude:
 
What a great build. I recently built one of these older Dragon Stugs and was pleasantly surprised by how nice this older kit is. The tools need work but the tank itself is a nice base.
 
Here is the finished model

After painting it in panzer grey, I did a pin wash all over it
