[monica]

glad to have you along lee, only hope i don't disappoint anyone

 

[Guest]

Hi Monica I`m sure you wont be disappointing anyone, I enjoy following and looking at your builds

 

[Guest]

That looks like a nice kit Monica! I'm sure we'll all offer any help you need

 

[monica]

thank you both Tommy / Patrick, i have read that there instructions can be a bit off in the order of placing parts,

and even the QB chap said it as well, but i get to use the AB again

 

[Guest]

A great choice of kits Moni, I'm sure you'll build them into one of your usually superb dioramas.

 

[Guest]

Moni, I've found that although Dragon kits are worth the money for the quality & extras you get, the instructions can be vague as can the actual fit of some parts.

My advice is read the instructions carefully & test fit everything - it's slower that way, but it should avoid that annoying frustration of having a glued part with nowhere to put it!

 

[Wong Ryan]

Keep the pics coming.

I must admit since joining this forum, it gives me motivation to build more...

 

[Richi72]

Hi Moni,

nice choice of kits.

I am going to enjoy seeing this one coming together.

Cheers Richi

[Guest]

Moni,

From looking at the instructions, and working from each side I would add the 3 inner wheels marked E3, then the 4 middle wheels E2+E4, and finally the 3 outer wheels E5.

 

[monica]

hi Patrick, thank you for the help even on 1.72 ,I have always had trouble with the wheel, poking out to far and not hitting the track,

 

[Alan 45]

I love these demags and hanomags, I know you'll do a great job Monica

 

[Guest]

That looks good Moni. But I think you so go to bed and rest you have a severe form of modelling fever. Do you not stop at times ?
