Very nice work. I like the subtle variations on the camo net.

Very good work on this seldom seen model. Is the drive modeled after an M 113 ?

Dont think so, the CVR (Combat Vehicle Recon - Tracked) dates back to the 60's I think (Which is 113 I guess). The scorpion was 1st withdrawn from service (I thinik), it had 76mm gun. Scimitar was still around, same hull different turret with 20mm Raden Gun. It certainly went to the gulf. There was a lot of others in the family. I think this is based on the Spartan, which was a min APC, for engineers, AD troops etc. When the Brits went into Afghan they had no tracked recon vehicle so this was quickly cobbled together and later sold to Estonia. I just love the CVR(T) and CVR (W) family so had to have it.
Wiki is probably far more thorough ad accurate, my memory fails a bit.
Thanks for feedback

How good were the tracks to fit on the MK2.

Not to bad, I'm not a fan of individuals, preferring link and length. The real problem for me was the very shallow attachment points of suspension units. I had hoped to be able to temporarily attach and remove wheel track assembly for painting but there is very little plastic to plastic contact that it would not hold. The cam net hides a variety of my omissions, as there is so much tiny PE I left off much of it. It's a very fiddly kit to build. It was done as part of a Gecko brand build, and most are reporting consistent comments on what others were building. Nice to have though.
