[Guest]

I'll be watching Steve, I've always fancied having a go at one of these Academy interior kits. Will you be doing a cutaway? 

[Guest]

hadn't thought of that Patrick , was going to  do a top and bottom half like the side of the box .

That would work, I saw a YouTube video of a guy building the new Takom King Tiger & he did something similar to show off the interior detail. 


On his one, the upper hull was separate, as was the turret roof. He displayed it on a large piece of polished wood with each section in line from the hull to the turret.

This is a superb kit mate, it's what got me back into plastic kits.

Fantastic kit! That should keep you busy for a while  A few years back I was gifted a bunch of armor kits from the dear wife of a deceased friend and this box was one of them. Well I couldn't wait to get home only to find the box was just a scrap box .........Jim :|

I would have been equally upset jim , I can really recommend the kit , the only fault I have found so far is the steering wheel join , it is so flimsy

[Guest]

did a bit of a dry fit of the drive train everything goes together well , the motor is a bit of a bear to get in to sit right  , but I don't think I'll have to even glue it in , right everything out and paint

[monica]

this is coming along very nicely Steve,like what I,m seeing,

[Guest]

Great job my friend 

[Guest]

That looks like one very nice kit Steve Nice start too

[Guest]

main part of the paint is on , still a bit of weathering to do .

[Guest]

Looking good mate.
