A21-29 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) hi guys, taking a break from jets for awhile so started my first ever tank build.not really much to report at this stage other than i have really enjoyed this build so far.the tamiya kit is an excellent start point.fit is really good.using the west german a4 kit to build an 1A4/AS1.the build as it stands is all OOB,but i will scratch build the other parts to make it an aussie leo.once tha scratch built parts are done it will be time to prime and paint.
