Good to hear, hope she continues to improve.   

Thank you all very much, gentlemen!          

All credit to AFV Club for the accuracy of this kit;



But, by the Gods, they have included far too many miniscule parts!

I've just spent two days (when not at work, eating or watching YT vid's - sometimes even then) gluing on, mostly, pieces varying between 5mmx0.75mm to 2mmx0.5mm!    

And their instructions aren't exactly clear on where some of those parts go, either.

Luckily for me, & in one of those wonderful coincidences the Universe serves up, The Chieftain (Nick Moran) put up the first of two videos on ... the M1128 MGS! ... just a few hours after I pulled out this kit to start building it, & the first video has proven to be a life saver when it has come to deciding where to put some parts & how to put them!




Anyway, I'll be back at this in a few minutes, & I'll try to get a build thread up-&-running towards the end of next week.


Cheers, All!


PS: AFV Club has an updated M1128 coming out very soon, which is the same as the one Nick looks at in his video.

very weird     i have literally just come her after watching the 2nd of those vids 

good luck with the assembly, hope that it starts to get easier      

Hmmm, got one of these on the shelf, so interested how it goes.

It's a good kit Brian mate...it's fiddlely in places like the hatch for the commander and the .50cal mount on the swing arm is super prone to be wacked ..turret fit is tight so some fine sanding is needed .
Everything else is pretty easy ..the hull halves on mine fitted very nicely together as did all the suspension components.
It's a better model in ways compared to all the Trumpeter versions I've built ..shame Trumpeter didn't build a MGS ...it would have been great for a ture comparison.

Happy joys! I've got COVID!    

Not bad, apart from the usual cough & running nose, I just feel lethargic.

Yes, but, like 'flu jabs, they only protect against the worst strains projected to be a problem during the following 12 months.

Obviously, this ain't one of them ... As I said, very mild, just annoying.

Me being the mutant I am I can't really voice an opinion but mate the day I do get a flu or virus I'm certain it would end up turning me inside out 
Viruses are smart and what I think is with my body being so knackered the virus just can't be bothered ..no challenge 😆
Glad to hear tho that it's not kicking your arse matey 🙂

Well I hope it doesn't affect you to much mate, just play the "I'm ill" card while you can   

Get well quickly enough to feel good, but slowly enough to enjoy being cossetted!

As I've given it to SWMBO I don't think I can get any sympathy from that side, especially as I feel rather guilty, considering she's still undergoing immunotherapy for her cancer.    

Extra incentive for you to get well soon then mate 

Take care, both of you 

Thanks, Chris! My symptoms seem to be easing off this afternoon, so possibly on the mend.
