Tony,
Thanks very much for the kind birthday message, much appreciated! My wife is taking me to the Tank Museum at Bovington so I can slobber over Tiger 131 & Michael the Sherman, followed by a nice meal in the evening. Being as it's my half-century, I've treated myself to a new Iwata airbrush with fine tip so I can now spray those fine mottled camo patterns - all I need now is the time to do more modelling!
Cheers, Chris.
