Thanks guys.....

And before you know it,  we are complete!!!























And of course the scale shots with Arthur Brain and the Yellow Landrover (a bit of an anachronism I know  ;D)





This build is screaming out for a back story and I have identified some key points but I can't string all the bits together yet so I have published the build now and hopefully the backstory will follow along shortly (maybe  ::))

In the meantime this has been one of those enjoyable builds that has just "worked"  No problems,  no parts constantly failing, no masking fails, basically everything came together just so and it looks good for it,

But, as always all comments and criticisms gratefully accepted

That IS good . . . swap the pilot and guns round the other way, and it would work as a tractor as well. . . .
cheers,Robin.

Well, given the design, perhaps a "backwards" story, or a "front" story, might be more appropriate? ???
