First off if you have a heart condition or difficulty breathing consult your physician before beginning this kit.
I have been working at this on and off during the bergepanther build. I decided to devote a bit more time to it today
In all fairness mini art did a fantastic job with this . A lot of it takes over engineering to a whole new level. Where there are a couple of small issues with dropping the ball. This is just the way the brake drums line up . Its back to old school basics to get that straight.
The first 13 steps is doing the frame and suspension.........

I did skip ahead a bit . I could not resist building up the coach works. Its all flat panels but goes together beautifully

the plan is to have this towing the minimart soviet limber that was done as a previous review as well as a few other goodies worked into the mix

That's pretty cool! :drinks

Well it doesn't look that difficult. Nice job

 

[Iron Mike]

Miniart kits are notorious for difficult to build frames, don't let looks deceive you. Looking forward to seeing this completed.

 

[135engineer]

Mike it was all tweezer work and holding your breath while getting a part in place.

 

[Iron Mike]

Been there, done that, feel your pain.

 

[135engineer]

Got a tad more work done . Finally made it through the frame. This is the limber that I am planning to use with the bus. Next I will probably build a cargo rack for the top of the bus.

 

[Iron Mike]

Cool! Guessing the body is just sitting way forward for the photo mockup?

Sounds like a Classic Hairloss kit ta me.... :gogo

 

[135engineer]

Half of the worst is over which was the frame . the other rough parts are all the seat frames

Looks like she's coming together very well, hang in there :salute

 

[135engineer]

Thanks Gerry. It's one of those projects that I work on between other stuff.

 

[Gator]

Looking good.

 

[135engineer]

thanks guys. Im trying not to go overboard on this one and keep it simple . I have a feeling that's not going to happen

Haven't you learnt by now that AMS is hell!! :drinks

 

[135engineer]

My ams is borderline terminal. It just gets worse when im listening to Disturbed and Godsdmack. They just make me want to rebuild everything

 

[ausf]

Shaping up beautifully. B)
