:facepalm Bloody Efricken is at it again! I will post my start up pic in a bit.

Okay, here's my official start up photo

I've almost finished assembling the beast! I must say that I've built a few of these dragon kits in this scale and this has to be my least favorite. Some parts were poorly molded and a couple were unusable. I had to make new lift rings for the turret and a few other things. I built that same kit that SaDave has and it uses the same hull but it was a long time ago and I don't remember the details. I'll be interested to see how his goes together.

The wading snorkels are supplied as a PE set. I feel like I should get an HVAC guy in here to install them. :frantic

I managed to get one together tonight. Getting that curve just right at the top was a pain in the butt. Of course when you bend the side piece in two or three times to check the curve it snaps off... :bang head

Moving right along. Assembled the other snorkel and shot a coat of black on everything today. Tomorrow I can finish assembly and shoot a coat of OD on it. :soldier
