I expect a few more boxes of Perry cav are in the cards for me.<br /><br />@ Annibal: I agree. Face the challenge! I confess I have been known to swear a few times myself, usually after sticking my fingers together with superglue.<br /><br />@ Laffe: Dunno about Canadian uniforms. I keep reading that the serge battledress fabric was a greenish shade, and the ones in this picture do look slightly green, but the examples I've seen in museums tend to look like British battledress, more brown. So I'm not sure.<br /><br />@ Angry: Thanks, mate. Should have that cav unit finished in another day, even if it takes an all nighter.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-65022191545191020122012-02-27T12:02:39.032-08:002012-02-27T12:02:39.032-08:00Looking forward to more sir, those confederates we...Looking forward to more sir, those confederates were really nice......The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-3395293273887399252012-02-27T11:40:10.817-08:002012-02-27T11:40:10.817-08:00Nice find.

I got another one now, bought a couple of years ago which I haven't started yet. I might do it for the FLAK build too.<br /><br />I wonder about the picture of the canadian bofors. Are the colours accurate? Especially the uniform colour. I never really got the canadian shade of uniform, other than that it should be greener than the british shade.Laffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125733864107467243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-57298095915067634632012-02-27T11:27:14.593-08:002012-02-27T11:27:14.593-08:00Clearly you don't have any other choice but to...Clearly you don't have any other choice but to face the challenge!! <br />I had a similar nightmare with a Russian models manufacturer some years ago (cannot remember the name) who produces a Katyuska (spelling likely wrong) rocket launcher 1/72... with over 80 pieces... usually I don't swear but....<br />Well good luck and looking forward to see that model and good luckAnibal Invictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574972963418062956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-81168370004663757992012-02-27T11:15:28.829-08:002012-02-27T11:15:28.829-08:00The ACW figs look quite nice.
