Well last time I built a model the Beatles had just broken up. . .I may have tackled a scale a wee bit small. I'm not sure I even built a tank that was 1/76 when I was a kid. Also the parts didn't exactly fit neatly in to place. . .not sure if that's an Airfix thing or not. . I mean it was only $8 bucks. Tomorrow the treads go on. . .Hopely that won't be a beating. Thanks again for all the tips on here. .. helps immensely. kr Attachments:

Yes that is tiny... that's why I stick with 1/35th scale or higher...

You certainly must have better eyesight than I have! I use a swing arm lamp with a magnifying glass in the center of it on 1/25 scale stuff! Project is looking good.
And the Beatles are still around.... on SiriusXM, channel 18. I have them on preset in the Chrysler!

And the Beatles are still around.... on SiriusXM, channel 18. I have them on preset in the Chrysler! I bought some of those flip-down magnifying glasses. They helped immensely. Not doing anything less than 1/48 scale from here on out. I'm more of a 70's music guy but I do love some Beatles. The classical music has a calming effect on me. |

I like classical music as well. My all time favorite piece of music is 'Bolero' by Ravel. I could listen to it on a loop all day long! LoL

1/72 can be on the small side,a Been/Universal carrier with sections of track to put together is a prime example,best left alone!!
