It looks really nice.
Your PE frets are scarring me, too many parts and those fenders look like you will need to solder them. Definitely not a job for me

Thanks Steve and Philipp.
OK like I said I tackled the PE fenders and with Solder to . They actually turned out really well and went together nicely. Burnt my fingers a few times along the way .
Each fender consisted of three pieces that had to be folded, bent, curved and so on.
After the smell of burning flesh, I have the hardest time getting pieces in place and staying there while soldering.
Just to see what they hopefully will look like. Obviously the fenders and upper hall are not glued.

The fenders are a work of art on their own Shawn!

Re: M22 Locust Airborne Tank
Very nice soldering Shawn
With the bends and curves, if you over bend them, it will hold itself like a spring when you solder it together
Saves some BBQ'd fingers
Nice work though on the fenders Shawn
How do they look in relation to the plastic ones?
For bashed and dents you can not beat PE, pardon the pun
Well done
