Evenin` Guys!
Here`s my next build,which i`m thinking will be a partner to my recently built SPG,in a Vietnam Dio :hugging-face: ,
Without more ado.... I give you...........
......... My M35A1 .......

Looks a lovely kit,although i have read some not so complimentary reviews?!!:astonished:.... Well,you can`t trust EVERYTHING you hear/read eh?:thinking:....
We`ll see i guess!....
It should be fun:nerd:,

Hi Andy
Looks nice. AFV Club kits are often rather fiddly and intricate.

I built the basic truck without the guns when that kit was fairly new, and I remember it a bit as Jim says: somewhat intricate to build, but well-detailed. Here’s some inspiration for this particular version

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

I think this is a very good kit.
It's not a good representation of Nancy but still a decent Quad .50 guntruck.

Have fun with that Andy :thumb2: Rick H.

 

[Graeme C.]

Looks a bit different, I'll follow this one Andy.

 

[Wookie2486]

I like the idea of a good gun truck I will follow on if that is ok.

Andy.

I'm defo in for this. AFV can be fiddly but the detail is worth it.

I'm in Mr Smith , as long as you don't throw things about and you have our friend Cohen in his winter quarters.
Love to Rach from us both .

 

[Allen Dewire]

Oh Mr. Smiff,

That's a nice kit you have there Andy. Guess I'll have to check in and make sure you don't muck it up. Looks a great build and like Paul said, a bit fiddly too. Just have fun my friend......Oh, and Happy a Ho, Ho, Ho to you guys in Devon (wherever that is)!!!

Thanks Jon!
I agree re it being a good kit,don`t know much about the actual "Nancy",but this seems good enough for me..... so far anyway!!

Ahhhhh......Mr.Dewire.......
It is indeed Sir,and thank you:thumb2:,
As for "Wherever Devon is"........
Simple mate........
Head out of Europe towards the UK....just before you hit the fantastic Kent coast.....
Hang a left,(Or to "PORT"),and hug the gorgeous coastline of southern England until the natural Godliness glow turns......
..... into THE FABULOUS GOLDEN GLOW OF THE SOUTH DEVON COAST ............
You can`t go wrong,just look out at the people wandering around and you`ll see the HALOs that we all,(Naturally) ,wear!! :thumb2:

[The Smythe Meister]

OK Then guys,a brief update.......
As some have said,these kits do seem to be quite problematical..... several times,already,i`ve encountered vague instructions which led to me mis gluing bits!:angry:
I did sort them,kinda,and some other bits just didn`t "Feel" right!
It really is excellently detailed,and also for the cost!!,makes you want to persevere :thumb2::anguished:.......
Pic of running gear assembly,just basically glued........

I wasn`t at all confident of this progressing any further,was SURE that stuff was going to go awry ....however,continuing with Primer,Copious amounts OD and then some Rubber tyres..... I`ve ended up with this........

Surprise surprise all wheels sit correctly:fearful:!! So up until now i seem to be getting away with it!!......
.... We`ll see though!!
Great to see so many taking an interest in this one Guys!! Thanks for looking in.....
Andy
