Armoured models and Preservation Society. Capital City AMPS is on the 28th Aug in Edmonton. From what I have heard there might be a lot of vendors this year.

Lost 2 small parts but still got to priming. Need to dig through and see if I have OD for it.

Need to buy some more paint to finish this.

On the left hand angle iron on the turret there is a clamp for the barrel. It went for a walkabout. I'll find it somewhere after the build I am sure.

Looking good James!

Got my paint but I really dont like how dark green this looks. So ordered some Valejo Olive Drab also. I think it looks much better.

Personally I think it looks spot on myself. Nice smoothness on that too.

Yeah much better than the Tamiya shade I think. And yes it sprayed nicely also. I'm happy

Really slow progress but hopefully I can do this in time. The Tamiya decal set reacted with the vallejo for some reason. So did spot dull coat and hopefully will not be too much of an issue.

Slow progress is progress.

Looks excellent James! Nice fix on the reaction.
