As for mine, hull construction is completed. No major issues though there was a gap between the rear plate and the engine deck. Nothing a bit of putty didn’t rectify. Honestly the biggest issue I had was that I want to pose the driver and radio operator hatches open and of course there are injection marks on the inside. Some putty and careful scraping later and I think I have them sorted.
Nice to see the differences in building methods, especially with very similar vehicles…
I have nearly all the stowage glued on, have the top and bottom of the hull seperate, have the interior still seperate, but have the wheels all glued on.
indeed nastyy spots on the insides of the hatches… I have one opened…, added something to keep those sandbags in their place…
Late to the game but would love to get in on this. @Klaus-Adler, is it still possible and would an LAV-AT fit. Don’t want to cause anymore ruckus on the thread, lol.
Thanks,
Dave
@bwilt Not sure if you have glued the transmission bolt strip in place but want to make sure you have them in the right place. They should lay flat between the transmission and the upper hull and not vertical like you have them.
I’m catching up and have my Dragon 1/35th RSO w/ pak 40 base painted. Next will be gloss coat and weathering. Photos taken with the iphone and it seemed to be having trouble with the yellow. The model is less intense than what is shown.
Overall this kit has been a struggle for me, so I’m happy to be getting closer to the finish line.
Thanks, I know it should be horizontal, its proper place is actually under the sandbags. That’s why I thought I could reuse that part as an attaching point for the white strip.
Time for a bit of an update here … interior painted… added the machinegun into the left side of the turret, moved the gunners position to the right of the gun…
