All done on this one as well, had a busy weekend "clearing the decks" of the group builds that just needed a final brush stroke!

Summary;
Tamiya Kit - Usual Tamiya stuff, everything goes together flawlessly and could have been built straight out of the box. The individual track links are nice but the wee jig they provide to get the correct sag is misleading and better to set the sag yourself using slow setting glue.

Orange Hobby PE - Disappointing really. The set is very nicely made, but the choices as to what to model in brass were a bit odd.

Orange Hobby barrel - Amazing. A beast of a piece of brass and a nicely done resin mantlet.

Archer dry transfers - There is no going back, these were flawless and I will use whenever I can now.

Pics are off to Gary, should be up later this week.

Had to get my A into G as the rest of this month is going to be a write off with work and conference talks to put together. How did it happen that our lives are ruled by PowerPoint :?
