View attachment 127701 View attachment 127702 View attachment 127701 View attachment 127702 Well, I'm going to make a start on this little beauty whilst I await replacement decals and varnishes to go off on both my Phantoms

I'm going to build it straight out of the boxes,,,,,boxes? I bought the interior for it as well.


I've not built a Meng kit before but only ever heard good things about them and as there is a full video build on Flory's site if I get stuck I know where to go


I'm not normally an armour builder but having done a reasonable Abrams I thought why the hell not

Ok enough of the intro lets see some action or at the very least some shots of the contents of the boxes so I can have a good dribble.


Nice subject Ade and with interior will look superb I will be watching all the way.


Look forward to your next update/start


Cheers John

 

[Guest]

Excellent!!! I have got this one on my wish list!!!


I will be looking with interest

 

[papa 695]

Think I will join in and watch this one as well Adrian

 

[geegad]

Got this kit so to add a little more pressure I will be glued to your progress to get me in the mood to build mine...

I think its safe to say, everyone wants to do this model/s


Rightfully so, its soooo cheap when you think a model without interior can easily be £40. Your basically getting the interior for free

 

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

I've added the sprue shots, I haven't taken them out of the bags as I have a habit of loosing parts


The tracks I heard take around 3 hours to assemble !!!!

Very nice, are those workable tracks that you clip together or magic tracks with a top/bottom?


Iv tried workable's but found them to be too breakable haha, magic ones are nice, but when theirs 5 sprue's of them it takes about 5h for one track lol (That's if you don't almost cut a finger off with your new razor sharp blades )

Errr! Not everyone, but whatever floats your boat.


Good luck with this one Aide, there is a lot to do on it with all those sprus full of parts.

Very nice kits, built one many moons ago but no interior was available back then, I'll keep an eye onView attachment 116422

Going to be watching this one as i have the Meng M2A3 Bradley w/BUSK III (Full interior) next on the bench ( else my son will kill me, had it for over a year now).


Can only say Meng kits are superbly engineered, full of detail and a joy to build, still building my first Meng kit (Achzarit late with full interior - http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/the-cruel-lady-meng-late-achzirat.31663/)

If the same as the Bradley M2A3 , about 15 minutes, they just clip together

 

[PaulTRose]
