Yeah, I had a similar project in mind in 1/72nd, using a 105mm L7 gun, but I was talking to M60 vets on Tanknet at the time and they quickly pointed out the flaw in my plan.

You could always make it a proper fire support vehicle, with a low-velocity 105mm howitzer and, say a co-axial 20mm, both with high elevation. Some of the guys on Tanknet had spent their careers arguing in vain for something like that against the "anti-armour is everything" lobby.

Hiding a tin of paint from SWMBO is easy, but how do you manage it with an Il-62 kit?

Dead easy! She was still in Glasgow when I got home, however other times I just walk in and say "I got this".

hmm, at this point does Mrs JayBee go steely eyed and plot her revenge?  or is she just used to these things?

Managed to snag off Ebay the Airfix collectors kit of UK Airfield vehicles. its only the ex JB Bedford MK tanker and Hard Top Landie, but with new decals that includes RN versions, which is what I wanted  .

A Bandai 1:100 MG "Buster" Gundam, from a member of a related Facebook group. Big robot, with big guns. But oddly, I'm going to modify it to a close-combat specialised version, with nearly no ranged weapons at all.

I think the better term would be "Resigned to it".
