Currently the completed vehicles are stashed away awaiting completion of the diorama - I have added an album with a lone photo to the project. I am also investigating details using photos from various publications; it seems the Takom 2030 kit comes with some useful detail parts (cabling booms etc.) that are not mentioned in the instructions. I see you have it on order; you won't regret it: hours of modelling fun lie ahead!

Currently scratchbuilding a rough A4 outline (sans the tip) in a wooden frame, totally obsucred by a large canvas cover, to go onto the trailer. Cheap fun; main components are cardboard tubes from toilet paper rolls and tissues... 😉
