this was going to be a filler build while i wait for a kit from poland and work on rc tank builds but its a nice kit so ill try and complete it to some standard
skinning the hull now done no problems really execpt one the hull side slots are longer than the they need to be which makes it difficult to line up either side corectly so theres a little difference between left and right mainly up the front end






hardest parts so far are the inner hull skins which im not 100%happy with

Looking very neat DC. Nice to see you posting some builds.

I often think as a builder you end up only looking at the model as a collection of mistakes and areas where you could do better.

Keep it up

ooh! Another build thread. It all looks good to me, DC. More often than not, we're all far more critical of our own builds than is justified, seeing "mistakes" where there aren't really any. I think we're probably all perfectionists when it comes to our own work.

Looking forward to seeing this progress.

few updates tran-covers detailed with some laser cut nuts
and turret guard and front armour plate

i have a weathering kit for my rc tanks so ill be adding some dust and dirt effects to this once its done that should even out any issues with color mismatches

Nice nuts!

Often thought about buying these - they look good. Any problems with them?

Tim

none, if you paint them they dont de-laminate and come in loads of sizes the company i got these from also makes mesh and textured card ill be getting some diamond mesh at some stage for the vents on this tank

Hi dc, I was never believing you`ll start any model at all, and I`ll tell u what - brilliant, I like your job - so nice and tidy, can`t wait really for a tracks really. More often updates please, if you mind mate

Here is also a perfect build

Here in the forum are all profis

its still alive but i made a foul up of the visor so i need another copy,i also want to see if waks fixed the zis-30 kit as i have that up in the air too

It's looking nice and clean so far DC, and I look forward to the next episode. Are you using any lazer cut parts on this (apart from the nuts)?

im going to get another copy from wak and buy a laser cut set too as this contains laser parts for the wheels

Don't blame you for ordering laser cut parts. Starting to think some things aren't worth the agro



Got back from 2-weeks in Devon (don't ask!) found some nuts on the door mat

Also recently received an order for laser bits from GPM - they are things of beauty. Think i'll stare at these awhile before using them.

Tim

open hoops are a massive bitch to cut out

love avant-card nuts any excuse to use them on a model

This is where regular mugs of coffee and gritted teeth are required.

Excellent work, clean and good looking. During my buld, i always trying to xero-copy parts which are hard to made, so I always have backup if something goes wrong. Good luck with your build
