A difficult job well done Neo. Your hard work has paid off. I will see if I can find the Goodyear tyres in my photo collection

Hello, Steve! Indeed,it wasn' an easy thing to do. Hobby boss kit is much more better. Sad that I didn't know it earlier. Will be great if you find one. I have approx. 15-20 photos and there are no any logos on them.

With my friend permission. Here are some photos to compare Takom and Hobby boss models. As you can see, Hobby Boss is much more accurate model with good proportions. If you have an opportunety - choose Hobby Boss.I have bought Takom much more earlier than Hobby Boss released their model.So, nothing can save Takom. The hull is definetely incorrect. I will finish this model. If I only know about this....

More photos here to compare two models.

That’s just the way it always goes, isn’t it? You buy a model, put a lot of effort into correcting it, and then someone else releases a much better one (Or you buy an expensive resin kit, and then a plastic one comes out at a quarter the price.)

Absolutely agree! So I will do all to ypgrade this kit with some extra details but I can't win this battle. Only a draw:disappointed:

Hi mate
Looking really good now. Remember, it’s not always about winning, sometimes it’s just about taking part...

Neo,
You should know by now if you have struggled your way through a build - a week after you finish it and are laying on the floor gasping for breath - it will come out as a kit.
Kepp going I would like to see the end.
Cheers, Mike.

Hello! I understand that. This is all for my own satisfaction:relieved:

Hello, Mike! I hope you will like what you will see in the end. trying to do my best as usual. Very bad kit. But when you want to buils something unusual you should be ready for all difficulties. This is payment.

And some progress so far.

To fill all rivets is not very funny exercise So I 've decided to work with some extra details in parallel.

Unfortunatelly Takom doesn't know what I am talking about

So what I have already done...

Little hatch with lock.
Hinges and holders on rectangular hatch.
Rings in front and on the back.
Door holders and keyholes.
Hinged inside hatches on the doors.
Inspection slits on perimeter.

More to come. There are still much work to do.

Great to see you have subscribed to the forum Neo. Couldn't survive without seeing your builds. A stunning update as always
