No worries Mark, you're by no means the only one who needs a break from time to time ;)

Any chance for a few pictures of the M48A2? And if you decide to build the M48A1, please let us know what you think of it. I'm eager to build one as a German vehicle some day...... :D

I think I can manage that. I know I have a couple of shots of it already somewhere (I can't look at Photobucket at work). I know I had to remake the Searchlight holder as it just didn't look right. The new one is better but not perfect. The Sprue Brothers haul won't be here until Thursday but I can probably do some photo shots of it as well. The one that threw me for a loop was the MTLB. I know it was a detailed engine and interior but $75 was not expected. I hope they release one in the future with no interior as that is not something I do. Noticed also that Meng is coming out with a ZPU gun set. It is a 4 gun set (ZPU 1/2/4 and ZU 23-2[if is am reading it correctly]). That will make some nice options!

Thanks Shawn. There are some weird pieces of PE that have to be added to hold for tools.

Thanks. WIth the M48A2 almost ready for paint ( I got the surface details added and the antennas will be added tomorrow). I can move the Humber to the bench and hopefully get it finished up.

FINALLY got it finished (the build that is)! Hoping to fire paint later today or tomorrow. I added some Hauler PE sand shields because I thought they looked better than the kit provided piece.

Nice to see this finished Mark and the Hauler sand shields do look nice.

Looks a lovely clean build
