TRUMPETER,S " DICKER MAX". I might need HELP
Posted by tankerbuilder on Monday, February 20, 2012 5:54 PM

Now,here,s a major change for me! It doesn,t float does it? Nope ,didn,t think so. Oh well .I am going to bug the dickens out of GARY at HILL COUNTRY HOBBIES so,s I can get the detail up kit parts. I am going to actually be a TANK-BUILDER ! Now I will be involved in superdetailing this thing and using the " DOT FILTER method and all that other stuff that FINE SCALE MODELER is trying to stuff into this old maritime head.Yup! I like the looks of this kit. I was surprised at the individual tread pieces.They don,t dwell on assembly so how do they do it? I was thinking about getting link and length or individual link resin parts. Should I? I need the technical advice of tank-builders out there.I am actually going to make this the first armor piece I have weathered soooo. Don,t laugh , just help me please ?         tankerbuilder

Well, it,s actually Tankerbuilder. Anyway , I haven,t built any ARMOR since the eighties and those sweet 1/48 scale ARMOR pieces from BANDAI. Now I will need advice on actual colors of this machine. How many were in the field and how dirty ,gucky and gooey they got. Yup, I am going to try it all even a base of goeey , gucky stuff for it to be seen in .Plain and simple I don,t know these things or it,s been so long I forgot a lot .so any input will be gratefully appreciated. and Thank You for responding to this plea for help.Does this kit assemble okay or there parts that are a challenge to mount ? Thanks again .         tankerbuilder.

You should put this question in the "Armor" forum, tankerbuilder---you'll get all kinds of responses and answers. Not all the Armor guys even look into this forum.

As far as the individual tracks, here is an article I did about them.
