Slowly adding bits and pieces. Today I spend some time bending PE and also tried my luck with soldering for the first time. Fortunate for me the solder won't be seen once the kit is done. I started on the recovery winches today. I also primed the trailer to get it ready for paint. Here are a few more WIP pics.

Mighty fine PE work Joe.

 

[Leopard2]

Thanks Bob, I hope you come visit me on the Happy Farm and have a cup of tea with me.

Anyway, I couldn't resit and put the PZH 2000 on the transporter since I plan to have her on there for good eventually. I had to get almost 4 feet away from the model to take the picture and here is how it looks like. I put a small bottle of Tamiya paint in front to give an idea about the size.

That's a lot of modeling right there..think you're going to need more paint.

 

[Leopard2]

Bob, I am already on the lookout for more Tamiya paints.

WOW - this is a massive train.

I hadn't seen this topic, I have read it first and it's really impressing. Huge and the P2000 makes it even bigger. I build this kit in 1/72 scale from Revell and detailled it with some wire. I see a lot of PE, something I think you don't need a kit with that high amount of PE

Good luck!

Ty Johanna, I had the Revell 1/72 kit as well with the complete Eduard PE for it for a review. Giving the detail of the Revell kit, the PE set isn't neccessary. I know I use a lot of PE but the Trumpeter kit, its needed. The detail, even though it is a larger scale isn't nearly as good as the little Revell kit.

I finally started to spray the first layer of paint on. It is just amazing how much paint I need for this kit, especially on the green. I might have to roan the internet to get a few more bottles. And yes I know, I am not done with the green on the trailer.

Did I just notice a surge in the OD Green market on the web?? Seems demand suddenly skyrocketed.

Looking good Joe.

 

[Leopard2]

Thanks Bob. But maybe I should change colors once in a while. What about black. Tires, Tires,Tires,Tires....37 to be correct.

Great build Sir !!!!

 

[Leopard2]

Thank you, Andy. And here is the dashboard. Won't see much of it once the cabin is closed up. The photo film is a hair of center. and I still need to paint the instrument on top of the board.

I think they all are off center. Looks fine though.
