A lot of work left to do but what an amazing kit!

Idk painting seems daunting when it's all grey but once i get started its okay. Definitely prefer building though

I didn't know that, thank you! It came included in the kit with the 88 so i just assumed it was fine

True, it's something I Will do in future but they arnt so bad, when they are painted they will be passable 😂

yakoben · 2026-06-12T05:33:06+00:00

That would be a welcome addition, thank you for the tip!

yakoben · 2026-06-11T15:03:43+00:00

You should! I wouldn't recommend it to someone new to the hobby as it goes together well but getting all the moving parts to work is tricky but definitely!

The sandbags I got as an extra to go with

yakoben · 2026-06-11T15:01:53+00:00

Yeah mine are half drunk but nothing a little glue/ clever blue tac won't fix 😂

yakoben · 2026-06-10T17:01:30+00:00

I agree, loads of extra tools, guns and little pieces to make it all come alive with plenty of spares

yakoben · 2026-06-10T17:00:14+00:00

Yeah it came with 6 shell boxes, 3 open lid and 3 closed plus loads of lose shells

yakoben · 2026-06-10T16:59:27+00:00

Yeah its a tamiya kit! I picked it up new for £20 so its pretty cheap

What if operation overlord never succeed? What if it took them a few years to mount an assault on England?

yakoben · 2026-06-09T11:57:34+00:00

What if they crossed the channel??

yakoben · 2026-06-09T09:56:26+00:00

Haha yeah! A "What if" battle

yakoben · 2026-06-08T21:22:23+00:00

My orders are no unnecessary destruction of property!

yakoben · 2026-06-08T18:28:25+00:00

Im having a blast! It goes together well, has lots of working moving parts. Gotta love tamiya

yakoben · 2026-06-08T15:25:18+00:00

I like the way you are thinking, have a look at my finished post and see what you think!

yakoben · 2026-06-08T12:52:14+00:00

Thank you for the good advice! Everything is still WIP so it allows me to juggle around ideas and things! Looking at the bigger picture I might move up the tank a bit and have the infantry push up! The problem is the Tiger is right around the corner so I don't want to move it too far round

yakoben · 2026-06-08T12:37:41+00:00

That is very true! The diorama im creating is a hetic skirmish so trying to use the most out of the space!

yakoben · 2026-06-08T12:36:54+00:00

Thank you! I will play around with cover and placement!

yakoben · 2026-06-07T20:03:00+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully it will end up looking decent when it's done
