That's a good kit. Enjoy.

Nice choice!! Looking forward to this one.

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks guys! Need to clear off the ICM FCM 36 first...still in masking hell right now

 

[Skinny_Mike]

I like it!

 

[Jeeves]

A bit more done but these track links are poo...been a bit of a struggle despite the included jig...more on those later.

I've always been leary of tracked builds because of the links. You're doing a great job on this one bud.

Every genera has it's pitfalls. The crazy show room finish on cars befussles me.

I don't mind link when they actually go together...but these indies are tiny and come apart easily...I'll persevere...but it'll take time and patience

Hang in there bro. You've got it all right with the last part of that statement.

Tamiya my ass...

Patience ran out long before the problems did...the only thing shake and bake about this kit is my desire to put it in the oven at 400...

Pulling out of this build folks....Life is too short to be spending it on this many fit issues...

Sorry to hear. Was looking good too. But I definitely get the frustration of having to wrestle w/ every little thing...wears you down after a while.

 

[mustang1989]

Sorry to hear that Jeeves but understand the feeling. I've had more than one like that.

Sounds a little like the issues I was having with the Panzer 1F. That Alan kit was rather poor in many ways. Only thing that made it worth working through was that it was small and not all that many parts (outside of the tracks) The track links were also a bear, but I figured out what they needed and just sat and did the filing down on them while watching some DVD's I am down to the end work and need to figure out what kind of box to make and mount on a fender.
