Gordon,
Great to see you starting to play around on this. Keep it going.
What do you mean when it's "released", on the Whippet? Are they re-releasing it? I have the EMHAR whippet kit, and the tracks are miserable...they are the old rubber-band style. I actually had to hunt down a rare out of production PE set for the tracks on this...and they are not that super either (but better than the kit ones).
Marc

Gordon, I have the Accurate Armor tracks as well....and I am usually a big fan of. AA.....but let's just say these are less than stellar....compared to the S65 tracks, they look like bumpy resin strips. They are useable if hidden/covered with copious amounts of muck. I know you could scratch a much better set.

Thanks Gordon.
I like the plate as well, just not sure yet if I have I like the proportions...maybe have it a bit closer to the radiator. The finished one will also be of .010 styrene instead of .015.

That looks a great kit and at a reaonable price. Looks like my "scrapyard" on the diaorama is going to be rather full! Could you bring one along next meet Gordon? Les T

Thanks Wesley. Yes, that is the general condition/look I will be shooting for on mine, however it wil not be yellow. As my timeframe is c. 1970-80s, Have not decided whether to leave it in the russian green or German grey that it would have been from the war...or tone of those base colors with a later overpaint color...say maybe orange, red, or blue. I personally dont like doing orange and red on heavily weathered vehicles, because the weathering doesn't "pop" as well, and it is much more digfficult to do.
Some more ref pics I am using atteched.
