Nice work. For whatever reason Ive never built much Russian or Soviet armor, Italian aircraft or almost anything Japanese, altho Ive got a Tony on deck after I finish this Tamiya P-38F/G Lightning. Going to be one of the aircraft on the kill Yamamoto mission. Great kit, almost falls together, Fit and finish is exquisite.

When you say expanded metal, are you talking about the turret bustle or basket on the back of the turret ? If so, yes it was part of the kit. The only pieces that I added to this kit were a Jerry can,some duffel bags/Alice packs and some tarps.

That's the decals that came with the kit. Other choices were I kid you not were: Clitoris, Mons Venus, and Pussy Eater. Those wacky Aussies.

Acktually it had a Rolls Royce Meteor which was derived from the Rolls Royce Merlin aircraft engine(spifire,hurricane,lancaster,mosquito) which was pretty dependable and reliable. Might have been one of the only English tank engines worth a shite up until the modern Crusader.

Preseason friendly available on ESPN Plus Liverpool versus Leeds that Soldier Field halftime 2-0 reds. Goals from Luke Chambers and Florian Wirtz.

Blowing two goal lead is never a good thing. Mama is not it. Becker better not get hurt

Now that is a rare subject indeed.What did they make like a hundred of those? But I love the paint job. After my last F4G wild weasel build, I am working on an Australian Centurion tank in Vietnam service. Going to try some mud and pigment effect with the south vietnamese red clay/rice patty mud. AFV club kit.
