Looks pretty good to me. Love the low angle shot.

An interesting and refreshing scheme on a fine model. Well done Chris.

Here you go Martin. This should provide protection from any wind when fitted to the chassis. Body work primed and only a couple of spots needing a little more prep.

While that's the interior and chassis detailed as much as it's going to be. Now onto polishing off the fine mould lines and cleaning up the body work for painting.

Engine and chassis pretty much sorted. A trial fit of the seat highlighted the need for some adjustment to its position. With that done tonight and possibly some of tomorrow will be spent adding a harness.

Not that I'm aware of Chris.

Another weekend of English summer in prospect I've settled into my warm workshop and decided to tackle this one.

Camouflage painting completed, decals applied and an overall sprayed clear semi-matt coat to seal it all. That's it for the moment it's off for a weeks rest in a warm spot for the paint to properly cure. Then it'll be back for back for some ageing and a little more distressing. In the meantime there's some time for thinking about the base.

That's the plan Dave. Sorting out the details of the terrain is my next challenge closely followed by how to model it.

The fighting compartment roof grills fitted along with the Commander and drivers cupola. The shutters to the vision ports in the cupola have been the most difficult element of the build so far and took two evenings to fit.

Test fitting of the roof to transfer the camouflage pattern from the sides. The camouflage on the roof needs to be sprayed before gluing it in place as the open grills mean paint would bleed through into the interior. I've also made a start on the commander/drivers cupola which sits on top of the roof.

I'm impressed by that shield Chris. Looking forward to seeing your Romans at the club.

Kev, it may look like one heck of a fighting machine however in reality its performance was less than impressive. In fact the deployment of just about any of the twenty A7Vs that were made could be the basis of a comic opera.

Now back to the model. Sides fitted and initial camouflage mapped out. The interior as finished as it is going to be given the limited glimpses that will be possible when the roof goes on.

The chassis with running gear, gunnery stations and commander/drivers cupola platform added. The void under the commanders platform housed a pair of 100 hp Daimler engines. Meng offer two options of the kit, one with engines and the other without. As there's absolutely no chance of seeing the engines in the finished model I opted for the cheaper sans engine kit.
