Hi to all!  

This is the last update...as of September 30.

This kit has many small parts like a PE but in plastic. you were not mistaken you have to be very careful as parts are very soft and can be damaged.

I have an idea for NASA, put a spacecraft attached to a BIG plastic sprue and then use GIANT cutters and it will take flight!. This happened to me on a handle and hinge, they were never seen again. I will have to fill the hole.

I just assembled the cannon and supposedly it should recoil with the spring but I cannot make it do it. I have gone through the model instructions and try to figure how to make it recoil...

Not sure why it's even useful. The kit has many parts that will probably are not needed, too much detail for something that will end hidden forever, like a clear lens part for the cannon, just to be covered by a cap..  

Anyway,..here it is:

HI wayne!

Sorry for my ignorance, what do you mean?

Have a great day.

Cool project---this is an oldie-but-goodie!

Hahaha...OK, thanks!, great tip.

A word of advice when working with AFV Club model kits, especially ones molded in olive green: the plastic is very soft and will mar if you look at it too harshly!
