Ok here we go, my bonofides that I have not started this yet:
Wow the instruction on this thing are terrible! I spent a bunch of time working on the hull, only to realize that in order to install the mine-roller, I had to go back with a saw and cut most of it back off!
The instructions only give REALLY vague pictures regard placement of the Blazer armor on the turret, so I had to just 'tack' it on there using Tamiya Extra thin, then once positioned and slid around until it all looks as right as it can be, go back and apply more to hold in place. Also the brackets for the smoke grenades required extreme modification to get them to position.
However, it is coming along nicely as you can see.
Still more to on the turret, but looking OK for now.
Lastly is the suspension, see how parts of it are just hanging in the air! Undoubtedly the wheels are there to hid this, but I have
Juuuuuuust enough AMS that this is bugging me
really bad. I think I am going to have to do something to effect some kind of basic correction here.
Taking a break from this for the rest of the day, will try to do/post more this weekend!
