Let's get things rolling
Here's my entry - first released in 1976, a true classic:
As mentioned in the main thread, I already built one of these in 2008...ah, the memories
Details aren't that bad:
Well, mostly...
Here's where I am right now:
I'm not doing a speed build, although I probably should.
I'll be adding Zimmerit, which will conventiently take care of that hole in the side...

Wait! Waitwaitwait!
- Didn't I build one of those
too ? Without Zimmerit and with
a really pathetic Revell solid colour hand painted camo?
If I did I threw it away years ago now... a shame since it would have been cool to compare
!
Best regards

Are you certain?
Completely certain?
Because.... =>
"Shame!" *dingding* "Shame!" *dingding* "Shame!" *dingding* ...
Actually it's less horrible than I would have remembered... still...

The party has started
I will have to get going soon, though it is No. 1 son's birthday today, so I am delivering a chocolate cake and presents, so it will be later tonight.
Nice start Philipp, come on Raoul, get that IV D out of the box

Creeping ahead at glacial speed compared to everyone else:
Mostly to blame is a somewhat weird cold I've had since Thursday, but also Revell putty which takes a whole day to dry before it can be safely sanded....Oh, and the Zimmerit it will need. I really should have picked the Crusader

Looking good Philipp. State of the art modelling, 70's style
