Thanks guys.  They were a fun build. 

Don't worry Mike, the next project will have tracks and a gun tube.  So rest at ease brother. 

Kevin, I am starting to think I may have to take an appetite suppressant on the ATC(H) dio too.  The ATC(H) by itself is a bit large.  We'll see what happens with it.

WOW!  Loving it... many Yes's from me.  My favorite part is of course the pin up poster... too bad you didn't it any larger for us to look at it. Wink  My only concern is the M60 and 50 cal guns seemed to be shiny and silvery but could be from the photo flash.  What will you be doing next?

Thanks Andy.  It is the camera that makes the  weapons look shiny in some of the photos.  They are dead-flat in actuality.  You can see the flatness in the further away, overall photos.  Up next is an early ('73, first batch) IDF Megach 3 (M48A3 w/105 gun) for a customer.  I'll post some pics as it gets going.

Hi Gino,

Love your boats! I came across your pics while researching for my own Tamiya PBR Streetgang. It won't be a patch on yours though. I'm doing an early-film version, with surfboard aboard and an intact canopy.

I'll post some pics when I've got something to show.

I agree with you about the Tamiya kit, it just falls together.

see ya.

 

Grubby.

Thanks Grubby, glad yo like it.  Good luck with your project.  I'm looking forward to seeing it with the surfboard.  I had thought off doing that version as well.
