The rear seat matches up nicely with the PT drawings, Dragon’s is too small.
But Takom and Dragon gives a box for the seat to rest on-looking at a photo in the PT book, it seems to be attached to the side wall.
Now for the shelf and fuel tank that the storage locker rests on.
For some reason Takom has groves molded on the parts and I can’t find one photo of this set up.
I’ll either putty this up or add a cover over the parts with .005 sheet.
Very nicely done so far Dan. I like watching this progress.
Thanks, I just realized that the fuel tank shouldn’t have a rounded edge on it. I expected better from Takom on this kit.
I’ve added a small chunk of plastic stock under the seat and probably will cover it up a bit later with gear.
Dan, looking good!
Based on your experience with this kit, would you buy it again knowing what you know today?
To piggyback on that, I bought the /1 as I didn’t already have one, but my /3 GREIF, /4, /7, and /11 are all Dragons. Would I likely be just as well off keeping those rather than consider ‘upgrading’ to Takom’s take?
Probably not, but its better than the old Dragon kits I think. I have their /3 on preorder from Andy, but I’m not sure when that gets shipped out.
I’m not sure as I don’t know anything about those kits.
Thinking of it some more, one could get some nice AM for the Dragon kits.
Left side wall done. The MG 50 round holder is pathetic in the kit and I found a better set in my spare parts box. The fire extinguisher is 3D, the kits is ok. The tarp supports are not in the kit.
I have this kit, unfortunately sitting on the shelf, awaiting a good day to start. And now waiting to get the 1/16 version So many kits, too little time! LOL!
Just got the 250/3 today.
Just asking.
What did you pay for the original kit?
What did you pay for all the upgrades?
