Well I finally got back to theh bench about two weeks ago. I signed up to an eight wheeler GB and really wanted to get stuck into this. With the work going on in the house I put the 251/20 away while the work was going on. I'm still getting the work area set up to my usual filthy way of doing things.
Well on with the build.
I wanted this for a long time but the resin kit was pretty costly.
There was no real problems so far and the only thing slowing me up is doing the welds which are very neat on the real vehicle but quite prominent in places. The kit has the extra armour plates as seperate pieces and the fit is first rate.
THe hull is quite big.
The underside is beautifully detailed but I am not adding any extra details as everything will eventually be hidden behind those huge wheels.
i assembled the drive shafts off the vehicle as it seemed easier to do it that way. the detail is quite good even for an area that will be hidden.
I just stippled the anti-slip area with liquid glue as it is not very prominent on the real vehicle.
I have got a good bit of the welding done on the upper hull but it's slow going. Stretched sprue and all that crap.
This is a link to the reference I'm using at the moment.
