[Guest]

Artyom,
Just caught up on your build.
First, I am sorry for your loss, it is bad enough on its own without the complications of this virus.
As for the build - all the compliments have been posted, so cannot add more :thumb2:

Hi,Michael! Thank you for condolences and compliment! We will back in our world, I believe in it.

And some news. I am still working with front. Now it's turn for the front light. Unfortunately the light case has one mistake. I've decided to leave it. This is not final variant.

Coming along very nicely Artyom.

Greetings,friends! I've started work I always hated =)) Yes, track links in progress. They consist of two parts. Plastic is hard and doesn't glue well. I work with great patience. In comparison tracks for Renault R-35 from Modelkasten. Renault is really smaller than A13 but tracks has similar dimensions. After all of that I will continue to make details on upper hull.

Those tracks look fun, yes …

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see you into the tracks now Neo. Much more detailing to do up on the hull now??

 

[Neo]

Indeed,tracks are very funny=))

Yes,Steve. Many things. Exhausts,lights, stowage boxes.

 

[Neo]

Greetings to all!
Bronco trucks are real garbage. I am very disappointed about that. It is very difficult to glue them. I think it's because of thick plastic. It was difficult to make the tension simulation typical of the A13. And Yes, the Bronco puts 4 sprues with tracks. One side takes two. So I have only three tracks left after assembling the chain. So if you lose or ruin some of them, there will be problems. In addition, the tracks are incorrect. The comb should be hollow.

Yes,after all I satisfied with the result. Thank you !

Thank you,Steve! I hope I will finish second chain in few days. Then I will make some details.

 

[Neo]

So, I have finished track links. It was a really difficult task. But unfortunately, no opportunity at all. Tracks in chains are very fragile. So in future I need to work very carefully. And I decided to rework exhaust pipes. I have two A13 kits,so there were only four attempts. I made three. One in the dust bin ,two ready.
In comparison. Yellow before, green one after.

Just caught up Artyom.
Sorry to read of your loss, brings it right home about this virus.

Think those tracks look good, personally I hate all plastic track, much preferring Friul as I can see and work with them.Some great additions to this build and skillfully done.

Hello,John ! Thank you! I really appreciate that!

 

[Neo]

And. All works with rear has come to an end. Very difficult construction. Too complicated to my mind.
