Is a kit issued in 1975 but reboxed in 1987 with "new parts" OK Phil? I have the Tamiya Chi-ha Type 97 in mind.

Yes, that would be ok I guess ;)

I'll open a new subforum for this GB now, it's Friday after all.

Well its arrived

My first growed up kit, I think :roll:
Image
Only 48 parts and 2 rubber band tracks
Image
and its vintage 1971
Image
And to prove its not been started yet and its within the GB time frame!
Image
And finally, I will be using a timer to do this within a day, then paint, within a day and finally the big challenge, weather and such within a day, even less as I have the AK weather in a hour DVD as a guide

Anyone else up for the challenge?

The animated person on my mobile is my better half, SWMBO, ANNA, looking a little ????? as it was at the end of our niece's 18th birthday party.

Right the cast is all assembled onsite, time to start the party.

All the best to all you revelers, back to 70's modelling, disco beat on the turntable, dig out your 45's , Glam rock and platform boots all round :lol: :lol:

This group build is going to need a "completed campaigns " logo.
I was thinking of something along these lines:
