One sprue, seven parts.

Let's see what can be made of this.

Well, that was easy. I think the time to build, paint and weather it is a record, even for me. The box includes two kits so I'll call this one a trial run. I've got some chain somewhere that I'll add to the other, plus I'll scratch a shovel and a tool box as I've seen in pictures of these tanks.

Extremely well done Squiffy, looking at the photos of the completed model it looks like it could have been a much more complicated kit instead of just 7 pieces, very nicely built and painted.

That's a beautiful little Renault Squiffy.  I've never seen a kit like this, an all metal kit presses my buttons.

I'm looking forward to seeing your next one.  I like the way you've put the tank into context, great stuff.

Wow, Squiffy!  You finished this little beauty in under two hours and it looks fantastic!  Absolutely brilliant!
Cheers,

Cheers, chaps.

I've done the other one and have fitted towing chains to one. To do this I cut and shaped two small pieces of plasticard and drilled them before gluing them to the tank. The chain is some old jewellery from a car boot sale and the shackle is part of a OO gauge railway screw coupling.
