OK,decided to leave resin for a while and do the Dragon kit of this Vehicle. A strangely empty box by their standards, which isn't a problem for me! Here are the sprues:
And the start of the Hull
So far so good, the fit isn't bad, but not what I'd expect for a new tool model - that is, with the last two Tamiyas I built, the hull and deck fitted totally perfectly,but this isn't too bad.just started on the suspension, which in both build logs I'm following (http://www.armorama.co.uk/modules.ph...opic_id=234211
and http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/i...8-dml-saladin/ is not as straightforward as it may seem, so I'm gonna be reet cautious - I'd quite like all six wheels to be touching the ground!! Some very odd positioning of sprue gates, making clean-up very tricky, and more seams than I'd have expected in a new kit. But aside from these issues, I reckon its going to look a belter
