Greetings! Few months ago I have promiced to my friends to take part in their Group build devoted to the Great War. This is not my topic at all  but i have promiced  This is the beginning. I build this kit with help of great master - Andrey Fonin. For this kit I have Masterclub tracks,mg's from Aber,lot's of copper,plastic and brass Chain are handmade  Everything is workable. I will build this kit in parallel with my A30. So temps of building will be not very fast.   |

You've made the chains by hand?  I know people who've been committed to insane asylums for less...  |

Cabin is almost ready. Unfortunatelly Takom has poor connectivity of parts. It was a very big problem and have taken much time. I need to add some more datails and use some putty. I saw some gaps only on photos. All pistol ports have movable caps.     |

Very impressive scratch building. It's been a very long time since I did major scratch work like this. Looking forward to seeing what else you'll add to the base kit to improve it.

Greetings to all! I have found that Takom gives wrong location of the towing device from the inner side. Than I've tried to make another chain with fixator. Now I am working with inner part of the hull side. (Photo for discussion only)    |

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

REALLY AWESOME work on this build.... This is one of those builds where it a shame to have to paint it.
