Hi Gents , as I have decided to drop the JP from Katies Corner then my thoughts arrived at this kit here..........................  Really like the boxart for this one , dunno why just do lol . As for the kit well its one of Hasegawa's finest , perfect fit easy assembly and good detail . So all in all Im having some fun with this one.............  The undercarraige is pretty much complete except for a few things , I am now in the interior which has just enough detail IMO although I might add a few things to it.   Upper hull is dry fitted and fits perfect, gonna start the gun assembly and also dry fit that tonight at some point. Cheers Deano |

Hi Jeff I have to say that I wont be buying anymore Hasa kits as I have been dissapointed on several occasions . This kit is definately a feather in thier cap , very well done indeed . Leon I look forward to that matey Deano |

Ok more progress on this one which is moving quite quickly , however big working weekend coming up so might not get much more done this week  ..................  We have colour on the interior , you will notice that a lot of fine detail is missing here but Im afraid thats all you get in the kit. Its a very enclosed vehicle so not much will be seen ..............   The gun assembly was simple enough and will look ok once painted up .  As you can see I have cut through the side view ports so that its not all buttoned up. Also wired up the radio for a set of head phones which wil eventually be on a crewman . And totally off topic!  The Ruski's are coming ha ha! Anyhoo more washes for the interior then its time to join the hull parts Cheers Deano |

Now you're getting it D. Wires for a headset? I like it. What did you use for wire? Excellent work on the interior My friend. If you don't mind, here's a couple of pics of a 1/48th 234/2 I did.   |

Thanks for joining me guys , nice Puma there Jeff . I have built a few versions of the 234 in 1/35 , Dragon kits and absolute gems! Ok so I have managed to get the hull parts together plus painted the undercarraige and wheels so I could get the fenders fitted.........   So with this done I can press on with the exterior and finish the buid side of things ................. heres a couple of my old ones .............   Had a lot of fun with those kits and well worth the bucks! Cheers Deano |

Andy , you really should they are good for the modelling soul . Ok fella's build complete or as far as I am willing to go with the kit .................  Added some stowage , mainly personal equipment which is always handy when covering up some soft details lol.  Also added a wire for the Antenna leading from the radio.   Well Im gonna prime this and see what imperfections show up. Cheers Deano |
