[Bagge]

Yeah it's not easy to grab some popcorn when MP is around!

Ok i looked at the instructions and it looks pretty straight forward

Here is the main parts.

parts for the body cleaned up, not much to clean

Had a towbar laying so i decided to modd the front to make it fit.

Body glued up.

the chassi almost done

The wheels had a to big centerhole so i made a small adapter to fit the italeri axle.

Body and chassi glued together.

fueltanks.

The front.

trying to keep up with Dave so there will be another update later

 

[SA Dave]

Just look out for the front twin machine guns. The instructions are a bit iffy but they are supposed to be totaly movebale from left to right and up and down. Mine is totaly stationary of course :vmad

Now that's progress!!

 

[Bagge]

thanks for the heads up on the machineguns dave!
Almost done, just machineguns and wheels left to do then painting.
It's going together very nicely, the only thing i'm not going to use is the driver...

[Bagge]

I got something done today
Added a round bar to the sides, not sure if that ever was done but i needed something to hang the bags on!
A little more fixing up is needed on the bags.

I also got a little inspired by Andy's work, i needed to cover the sparewheel because it didn't look like the rest of the wheels.

Thanks James and Ron
Nice site you found Ron, and i can read pretty good netherlands so i can understand it.

I'm working on a driver for the jeep, the brittish driver from Miniarts set with ww2 drivers.
Some mods were nessesary to make him fit in the jeep (had to bbend he's leg a little bit).
Here you see the cuts.

Starting to fill up the gaps, going over with filler tomorrow.
