It was a pure swine to build, I'm not sure I'd ever do another one. The confirmal tanks are made from 1/48 Phantom tanks. The contours weren't quite right and they had to be bent into shape, then 'riveted' in place with heated pins as glue would not hold them against the tension of the bent plastic. I then had to cut the end off all the pins and smooth it all out. Never again!

Thanks for the kind words...
