Hello guys.. ;D Here my next proyect that I will try to finish in a couple of days..well saturday and sunday...maybe...  Is the old kit from Tamiya but a really good one, and heres the first pictures...  The kit and instruction on japanese, but thanks to Dan he got the same in english.. and some magazines to help, Master Modeler and Armour Modeling from Japan...  The first thing I did was made the springs with wire...  On the top picture you can see the plastic tube I use and on this picture the way I made the spring with wire.  And here is the finish spring you can see the big difference..  And here is the result...  I'll be back....  |

Gabe, are you going to put mufflers in the new exhuast shrouds?? They are "see through" now! Nice work on the springs, and grab handles are great looking.
