Revell 1/40 M-56 Scorpion

I first did this kit as a kid back in the 60's. The gun traverses and elevates and even recoils. The tracks can even be made to go around if you push down hard enough on it on the rug. Loved this vehicle, but with all that use/abuse, it didn't last long. Fast forward 65 years or so and I got a wild hair to do it again. So, here it is done OOTB with the exception of some clear acetate for the windscreen and decals from the spares box. The figures are typical 1960's figures and are difficult to paint correctly, so even if I had the necessary skills, which I don't, they still wouldn't look all that good. The kit is actually pretty detailed for it's age and was nicely molded with little flash, but all sorts of mold seams. But here it is, a flash from my past.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see this model;  “a fully moddable kit”.  This kit is ideal for full scracth-build.  If I can find it, I will put it on my order list. I love it. Congrats.

Man does seeing that box and build bring back some memories. Nice work on the classic kit Ron.
