Thanks Jim. It's the third idea that I've started, but the previous two just didn't seem fitting.
I have to say firstly, what an incredible kit this is! Plenty of parts for a 1/72, with some of them incredibly small, but very detailed.
Most of the parts, I'd say at least 90%, fit together perfectly without any glue due to tight, well placed pins. Some seem a bit too tight to be honest and needed more force than I was comfortable with, but the plastic is very robust and breakages were almost non existent.
Anything that could be placed wrongly, like the track & wheel parts, are keyed so that they will only fit in the correct place, on the correct side.
Because of that construction was very quick indeed, with the vast majority just snapped together.
So, onto the wet stuff already. Whilst I aim to brush paint this I decided to go off piste and prime it first, to give myself a helping hand. It was stripped back down and given a coat of Mr Surfacer. I mixed black & white together to give me a German Grey type shade, which will at least give me some coverage on areas I can't reach with the hairy stick.
