I got two parcels this week.
The first one was the new Hero Quest that I got for less than half the price.
The second one is a kit that I built in my youth.
It will be very interesting to buikd it again with the improved skills I have today.
Great fun with ejection pin marks like this!
I got that taken care of and then puttied. I also did some work on the engine.
A lot of parts got painted with tan colour.
And then some other was painted black.
After a lot of test fitting I could finally manage to assemble the cockpit.
The rims of the rear tires was painted with chrome.
The seams around the front was treated with sprue glue.
Parts to the engine mount was painted black.
Things are starting to come together, and the engine was the first part to get camo painted.
At first I thought I could paint the camo after the car was assembled, but I’ve realised that it might be easier to paint the separate parts instead.
I started this build for a weekend speed build on Flory’s forum.
I thought a Tamiya kit should be easy enough to finish within the time frame from thursday to sunday, Perhaps it should have if I had prepared better. It turned out there was more to sort like ejection marks, and I also spent more time with the family than I had anticipated.
Anyway the build was started by building the main gun.
While some parts was left to dry properly, I started with the lower hull.
Things are coming together and getting ready to paint.
Just a little bit more to do before I can start painting.
In order to hopefully reach a larger public, I decided to start writing in english.
The page will be redone to reflect this change.
I hope this won’t be a too great problem for my Swedish readers.
Enjoy,
Håkan
