Aliens APC

Progress so far, on my first serious model.

Hard to tell how many hours i've put into it, an hour here and there over a couple of months - Just taking it nice and slow and developing a technique.

The guns are loose atm so I can paint them properly. I'm going to glue them into position permanently not have them movable. Primed so far as the top side but I may damage it up a bit now that I can see all the seems are pretty ok.

Couple of accidents along the way though - namely knocking over a 100 ml bottle of Acetone that I was about to dip a dropper into. Great fun, had to rush out the room after about 20 seconds with a blinding headache. The front gun turret was caught by this spill and decided to go really brittle and dry after a couple of days. Lost a couple of plastic handled tools and a toothbrush (they melted onto my desk)...

Looking good so far.
What kit is it? What scale? It doesn't appear to be the 1/35 scale Halcyon offering, but I could be wrong.

Thanks :)  it's the Halycon kit, I forgot to mention that. 

Funnily enough though I read reviews on the kit that all say great kit excellent fit, minimal sanding or seams etc.  BUT It has been a total nightmare - I don't think the kit has warped over the years but maybe it has shrunk proportionatly.  Some parts especialy the window area just don't fit at all,  I used some sheet styrene to create the panels infont the main window.
