I had posted an earlier thread indicating I would be taking this on as my next project. These are some early pics of my basic assembly up to this point. First pic is the chassis assembly.
the next pic is the cab assembly.
the next pic is the bed assembly.
the next pic is the chassis, cab, and bed, mated together, with road and track wheels. This will all come apart for final fitting, wash, and drybrush of chassis, and assembly of individual treads.
The basic components have all had a base coat of panzer yellow applied since preliminary assembly, and the running gear has had preliminary flat black applied. Now comes the fun part building up the individual links. I must say this has been an enjoyable build up to this point. hope the treads work out ok. I have have gotten some good points reading some of the tips our more experinced modellers have pasted on, and will be trying to apply those pointers as I buildup the treads. Wish me luck, and patience. Hope this post has been entertaining, and perhapes helpful to newer modelers. semper fi, mike
