Looks like you guys had a lot of fun last night while I was stuck in a classroom for four hours!  Very nice progress Gary, DML does throw a couple surprises in their 38t kits but nothing that can't be overcome. Be careful when fitting the fenders as that's another area that tends to be little tricky also. |

I've got the 38(t) by Dragon lurking in the wings somewhere...likely to be part of the next project...having studied the instructions it's not hard to figure out that these things will not fly along on the bench.
Have at 'er Gary slow and steady seems to be the paradigm for one of these
Regards,
Mark

Looking good Gary. Your running commentary up above reminded me of the line in a country song: Something like "I not as good as I once was, but I am good once as I ever was"
Keep up the good work
Mike

It's coming together nicely, despite the complicated instruction manual. May be it doesn't seem to progress but you'll get to the finish Gary, and leaving your hands it will be an eye catcher !

This is why I always wanted to get this. One of my friends got this but stopped building because it has like zillion parts. Remember building is my favorite part so I would not hesitate to build this one. The more parts the merrier is my motto. ;D
Looking real good... you are definitely on roll!

Thanks for the awesome comments my friends! Not to worry Andy, ill finish her no matter what! There were some fit issues on the engine cover hatches/panels. I Sanded alot off all of them and still the fit was a bit tight. I finally got my scribeing tool and tried to make it look better....may have went too far.... Anyways, as a wise man once said...onward and upward!!!! Gary |

I'm having the same problem with the Sexton today. I had to get rough with it and i've got clamps galore all over it pushing and pullin.  Didn't have that bull with the two Bronco kits. Back to the bench,later Gary. Tony lee |
