discussion Monica,s 1.35,Italeri,JAGDPanther,SD,KFZ,173

[monica]

yes its another one,I have started,


the reason why is ,waiting on things to cure,and for some figures that are late on arriving


hope they show up tomorrow,


so I started this one,as I got at the swap meet last sunday along with 6 other kits,


I have never done a Italeri,kit,


as with most kits need to let bits cure,so your able to move on,so have all the lower hull


done,so let sit,will not be able to start on the wheels till,,saturday,when I have a free day,


before going to Nic for a chat with the lads,which I do enjoy,


One thing I real like about this one has an engine in it,which is a first for me,so I,m so


happy to be able to show it off,


which means I will need to get a set of machines figures for this one,


well do hope you do like my progress so far,

youve never done an italerai kit??????????!!!!!!!!


im surprised at that..............most are pretty good, some are excellent......have fun

 

[Guest]

Good grief, going to need a spreadsheet to keep track of your builds Monica.


Italeri are a love hate thing, I really quite like their kits and have a few in the stash.

 

[Guest]

I don't think that I've ever built an Italeri kit before either! So I'm interested in watching yours Monica.


But.... I'm afraid I must ask for this one to be removed from the SSIG I don't want to be harsh, but I did say at the outset that Jagdpanthers weren't allowed.... sorry! View attachment 253842

I'll pm Ian & ask if he can change it - pop it in the 'armoured vehicles under construction' section & then you can pick it up whenever you like

No, STuGs aren't allowed because they're technically assault/self-propelled guns.

 

[Guest]

This is a good kit Monica. You will have no build issues with this one it goes together well.

Scott

ta for the heads up Scott,It dose look nicely detailed as well,


having a look at the tracks,there a rubber type thing ,but in link and length,


so is there a problem to join them,?

I think they are the spare track sets Monica. Why Italeri have used rubbery plastic is anyone's guess!

 

[monica]

mm I have never found the right type of glue to use when gluing the rubbery type of track,


they seam to always pop apart,?

 

[Guest]

Nice choice Monica, will be following this build

 

[monica]

well todays update on this one,


have the wheels and low hull painted,fitted wheels,


so let sit and cure for a day or so,


glued the tracks,real hope they do stick,don,t have much luck,with serpent tracks sticking


add some bits to the upper hull still the same,need to let sit and cure for a day or so,


well hope you like my progress so far,
