FV432 Mk1 c/w Floatation Device.

All the bits together. While the Takom kit is like Hens Teeth at then moment. I did manage to secure 2 just prior to Christmas. One from the Ukraine and one through a local model group. I believe Takom are going to do another production run though.

My least favourite part of Armour building, the wheels.

All the interior parts cut, cleaned and assembled. The white Resin parts are from Scorpion Miniature Models. A great addition. I fitted Tin Foil to the bench seats trying to replicate material/leather rather than the flat smooth plastic supplied with the kit.

I add some wire detail to the Radio sets.

All painted up and ready for some weathering.

A bit shinny, hopefully the a matt coat will do the trick.

I was happy with how the tin foil for seat covers came out. I took two small pieces off to look like torn/worn areas.

Excellent detailing. Nice touch with the tin foil on the seats and wires on the radio sets.
