Afternoon guys! While i'm waiting for the decals for the StuG,i thought i would torture myself and start the Dragon Tiger 1.Managed to get the roadwheels,sprockets and idlers cleaned up and assembled.Also got the torsion bars and axels glued on.So far things are going smoothly.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking!  |

Never built a 3 in 1 kit before so i'll have to pay special attention to the instructions. It's a Dragon kit, paying special attention to the instructions comes with the territory, it being a 3 in 1 just cranks up the WTF factor to 11 |

Torture? Why is it torture? Should go together well, no?

Dupes, not really torture! There's options for 3 different tank numbers.Have to be careful which tank # i'm building.

Evening guys! I managed to make some more progress and got the upper and lower hull glued together.The lower hull was bowed out and i had to use a few rubber bands to pull it in and get rid of the gap on both sides.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking! |
