Here's my latest.
Cyril kindly gave me this A39 Tortoise a few years back. THANKS Cyril.
I'm going to paint it up as though it was used in action. 
Good fun.
Andy.

Hi Andy,
Doesn't matter if its a 'what if'
I know you'll do it justice.

Well this kit is quite simple but usually MENG kits are very  detailed and somewhat over engineered. If you can mold a component in 2 parts MENG will do it in 8. Very much like AFV kits.

If you click on it and enlarge the photo it does give some idea of your shading.
Is it slow because it is a tortoise?
Anyone remember Bill and Ben, they had a tortoise called "Slowcoach" but they made it sound like SLOBODOB or some such.
Well done Andy, I have a King Tiger (Meng) if you would like it?
