Looking good Mence! Glad you solved the radiator issue...wonder what would happen if Dragon's instructions were read through a glass...it would probably improve them considerably! |

Chaps. Got a lot of bench time today which was great, enabling me to sort quite a lot of the hull detailing, well, all except the back. As in previous posts, some of what follows is held temporarily with white glue for the purpose of painting etc. etc.   Then managed to sort some skirts for the beast...   Fit on all the parts has been fantastic, very little fiddling around. Cheers chaps. Really missing shiny now, not happy. |

Thank you chaps.
The kit is really nice, packed with good detail and easy to build (handy for me). The instructions are pretty clear too, with only a few occasions where referring to an actual vehicle for placement of a part is necessary.
Looking at the sprues left in the box, there's a long way to go.

Thank you chaps. Jeff, love the vid, showed it to the other half, she's now convinced that people on the forum as as daft as I am! Ok, round the back. Rear door assembled and fitted, it snaps into some very finely done hinges and remains workable. Then, on with the chunky aircon units with PE grills. All lovely stuff but the locating holes needed to be opened up for the aircon units which seems to be the case with many of the locating holes on the kit. Anyway, pics.    Deep breath, onwards.... |

Cheers Phil.
I find that I tend to build somewhat faster when I'm not comfortable with the subject!

Very nice work on the rear hatch and AC units. I can imagine these things would be sheer torture in the desert without those cooling units operating at full speed all the time.

Hello fine chaps, as always, thank you for the kind words. Bill, ya aright buddy, sitting in the back of one of these in a hot country without aircon has got be something best avoided! Well people, not much to talk about today, the only gain made was sorting the frontal armour. Little bit of fiddling to get the armour on the engine cover to play nice, according to the box art it's meant to sit a touch higher than the other parts. Anyway, pic, note the nicely done anti slip...  |
