QA Troop Progress

To go with my 1 (NZ) Scots Troop I have been building up a Troop of Queen Alexandra's (QA) Squadron. So like Al, both of us have been mucking around with Airfix Scorpions.
I completed two a month or so ago...perhaps longer and after work on Monday I started on a third.
As usual I have been bulking it up with all the spares I can find. And last night I started the Red Desert MERDC.
Spare tracks from a ESCI/Italeri M113, Telephone cable line from a Airfix Centurion, and a box from a old Bandai kit. Gauze bandage painted as a cam net.
I also added a box and set of tools to the front and spare road wheel and ammo box to the side of the turret. Shockingly bright colour.

  1. Bright but nice!
    I must make a box, for my spare parts, they can prove very handy sometimes, as your work shows!
    Great work mate!

  5. I wondered about the bright colours too but I think that's a result of the lighting conditions and the flash of your camera. If you take some outdoor shots tomorrow or Sunday I'm sure they'll look better.
