Old male armour

[Neon]

I have the same kit and I've been slowly assembling it in between steps on my other model. Great kit so far. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

Hoping to get a group build going on a WW1 mk1 male tank. It doesn't have to be the make attached, in fact the more makes the better as we can comment on the pros and cons. Anyone interested?

Mid January is good for me. Give me time to complete the armored recovery vehicle and the M8 Greyhound.

Sounds good to me, my tank crew is just hanging out in the forest now.

Great. It's going to be a laugh I think. Pantherman

It will be a first for me. I have never built a tank before.

My kit arrived today and oh boy..... What did I get myself into?

I opened the box and saw the bag full of track links and immediately closed the box.
Don’t want to think about that now.

I had the same reaction...lol

Going to be alot of fun. I haven't opened the box yet but have to after seeing your posts. Feel like I'm missing out !!! Pantherman

I ordered a male and female. When the female showed up I picked it up and it sounded like a box full of broken glass. Both of my kits had the bag with the tracks open and track links all over the place inside the box.

My track link bag was partially open and I had several links wandering around. Now I just worry about having them all.

Usually a few spares added but knowing our luck, it probably won't be the case. Pantherman

Got me worried so I counted my links. My Female only had 174 links. According to the instructions there should be 190 but we only need 180 per tank if I understand the instructions. Fortunately my Male kit has 195 So the total of the two kits is 369 which is more than the 360 needed for two tanks. Glad I bought two kits.

Well, I am having surgery on my busted up left foot on January 12th, so this will be a good recovery project for me.

 

[TimM63]

I just ordered this kit. Should arrive first week in January.

So January has slipped by..... how about a start date of 10th Feb? That should give everyone a couple of weeks to get ready. Pantherman
