My PE and extras haven't arrived yet, will post them up when they show.

Cheers! :peace

Thanks, Olav! Glad to hear this is a good kit, won't get to start it for a bit, need to finish what's on the bench first. ;)
 
Hi Mike!!

Good choice for this GB. Given that the JP is one of my favorite tanks of all time. I will be following your build.

P.S. I'm glad killings went down in your city :laugh:

Hi Mike.

I got one of these from Tamiya that I am thinking about doing myself. But it is going to be great watching you work through the DML kit. Especially if it's going to get aftermarket stuff.

Thanks, Dave! Thankfully, Charlotte is 45 miles away, so we don't get ALL the gunfire!

Gary, I HOPE mine will have some aftermarket stuff, my source, which shall remain nameless (LuckyModel), seems to be very slow in processing my in stock order. :huh:
 
Hey Mike.

That's a real bummer. But it is really kind of a surprise to me, as my experience with L.M. has always been quick and good once their bank got around to doing thier job :unsure: . I think the most I ever had to wait for something, especially if it is just photo etch stuff was about 10 days. So I hope it comes soon so we can see your magic at work.

Not likely, bro! I build all my own junk!

Thanks, Sherm and Shawn, I appreciate the vote of confidence. Hopefully, I will start this beast soon.
 
Nice choice Mike , I didn't know of this kit either ?

Is it a rebox or does it have added and updated stuff ?

Can you give us a few pics of the box goodies , oh and the instruction sheet final build camo choices ?
 
I had resisted the temptation to open the box until my parts got here, but I'll post up a few later this AM. I've been on a weird schedule at work and have had very little time (or rest) since Sunday. Thanks for watching, I hope I can pull this one off.

Yeah, Rob, I do know THAT story. :idonno Beats me why someone would pull that and think they'd get away with it. One can usually tell one of my build photos from my beat up hands in the pix! :lol:

PS I found these reviews of the kit, since I haven't built one previously, I can't comment on the accuracy or differences. I just think this monster is COOL!

Sorry Glenn, sometimes my reading comprehension is poor. Here are the camo instructions.

Some of my aftermarket stuff arrived, have avoided opening the box until now so I could make some progress on my other two builds, but decided to break these out. Maybe the rest of the stuff comes Tuesday?? Off all week, so I am planning to throw the plastic! :cheer:
