Those tracks look good John, do they come with the kit ?

[geegad]

Yeh are papa you get two types I'm using the wrong type but the other tracks are the link and length and I hate them so sod that...mud them up and no one will know

Looks good John! As much as I like Dragon kits, I think the Tamiya version is a considerably easier build.

Razzle that looks a better kit that I am building


This is one pig of a kit problems with the turret

After some filling and sanding got it to look like this

Next step is to replace the cast texture with this

Cheers for looking in

So it's not just dragon planes that are a pig to fit together, I don't know if you see my me262 but that was/is a mare too!


Anyhow John it's looking very nice and the only thing with a tricky build that requires work is it makes you appreciate the better fitting kits and probably brings out our best work.


Now watching.

Haven't built a dragon kit in ages so won't be in a rush to build another ..and very true does test our building skills and it is nice to see how your can turn it round

That' s why i don't have any skills in building...

Testing is definitely the word on these kits!


If you have the patience they do make for nice models though, from the one I have done and others that I've seen.

thanks for looking in

[papa 695]

Just caught up on this one John and what cracking work you've done it looks every part a Tamiya kit not the Dragon with all the gaps you had to fill

[PhilJ]

Looking nice John, great extra effort with the mud effect it looks great

[Razzie43]

Hi John,what kind of colour did you use?


(it looks like olive drab?)


the kit i have is not better then yours


Sprocket wheels are so wide they don't fit on the tracks.
