that’s good, so the pieces are pretty well cut and fit? whenever I build tanks or cars I always get a giant panel line somewhere impossible.. probably user error

So far it’s looking good.
But I’m still on the first page of the instructions sheet… :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

yeah trumpeter is really hit or miss in my opinion, sometimes you get a great high quality kit and other times the pieces look like they were hand cut with a plastic knife.

Started this one yesterday afternoon, forgot to enlist it right away…

And due to the smaller scale this one goes together quite fast… so this is where I ended yesterday evening…

It’s only from here on things are different..

Thanks!

The great thing about these kits is the speed…
All the subassemblies and those nice wheels…


And the kit in total..

Might as well do a few more…

There is enough in this box to make the radar/guiding truck and 2 missile trucks.
Or you can choose to make 3 standard trucks.

So I’ve downloaded the instructions for this one from Scalemates:

So I will be making 3 versions.
The snag is the instructions are all Japanese so I am using Google translater to not make mistakes in the versions.

This is where I am now:

The wheels are a bit of work… hollow on the backside which isn’t looking great…

But because of the extra sprues I will cut wheels in half to make full wheels, first attempt gave a wheel to thick, second was better..

I’d like to build an M548 fueler ‘track in this campaign, but I think I read upthread that it’s for wheeled vehicles only.

is this correct?

Well, like I said earlier, decided to add some wiring and plumbing to the recovery vehicle, had to add some cable guiding halfway …

And 2 lights that are shown on the boxcover.. It’s not perfect but it’ll do..
