Afternoon guys! Finally made a start on the mine plow.Starterd on the frame first as it seems to be the easyest to assemble.The blades are totally different animal  .Hope you enjoy. BTW....I did manage to knock over my bottle of glue twice.  So off to the hobbie store tomoz for more glue,primer and paint if they have it.     Thanks for looking,as always ACW. |

Been there and done that with the glue bottle Leon, at least it gives you an excuse to go to the LHS.  |

Making some great progress on this one Leon!! Nicely done!! Well, except for the glue incident. First..."MEK" (Methyl Ethyl Ketone)brotha'! Home Depot, should be about $10 for 32 oz.. That means you can spill that 40ml Tamiya thin bottle 23 times before you have to run out to the store again!! Keep up the great work! |
