This is excellent Jeff! Thanks for the memories. Yes, the P/E on this kit is very delicate. Be even more careful when you cut out the hull bar armor. It is even more delicate and easily bent than the turret armor; ask me how I know. It has been awhile, but I don't believe the P/E flap on the bracket piece folds up It might be because that part sticks to the underside of the rear hull engine grill. I don't remember to be sure; it has been awhile since I had built my Challenger. The memory there is quite fuzzy.
Keep plugging and remember, extremely light touch in the hull bar armor.

Thanks, Robbo. It does doesn't it? It is a great kit. The early Dragon ArmorPro kits are awesome. If you run across any of them with kit numbers in the 7200's pick them up if you can. They are getting hard to find. You won't be disappointed.  |

Well as per Pete's suggestion, I sprayed a little Tammy XF-65.   I might lighten it up a bit for the top surfaces but this will work very well for the lower areas.  And again, ACW |

Yes they are, Bruce. A little black around the edges and they'll be good to go. |

Looks like it would hold some sort of case to the side...  |

Thanks Guys. I was going to put the hull together tonight but had a change in plans. Looking more closely I found I need to hang the suspension and tracks first.  |

As always Gents, Thanks. Nothing major. Just a little mid-course correction. |
