First serious mockup to see what the fighter will look like , it will be in maintenance so the legs are folded and barrel lowered (not quite this much though, only for photo)

Sorry for the pics they are a little dark (strong sunlight)

Cool stuff! I'd never get the camo to match, painting at two different times.

Worked a little bit today on the cover around the hydraulic cylinder, in real it must be moving as the leg moves, therefore they need a cover to keep dust out.

Bedtime! 2300 hours

This happened today, a almost complete upper leg, filling and sanding and adding weldseams left to do and the curved part, but so far it's a mirror of the other one

good night :Hiay

Hello! today i got alot done, this is what i did earlier today

And in the evening it was time to go to the meeting at the local modelbouwclub here in Halle, and this is how it looks after a couple of hours at the club.

This is a pic of the first leg, so far i managed to make them look somewhat the same

Tomorrow more work with the leg and also going to start with foot No:2

Work continues
Doing the welds and started to detail a little, here is how the parts look now.

Detail pic of the upper leg with hooks for the ladder and welds added.

And here is some detail added to the foot, the brackets will hold a stowage tube and the lower attachments are for the extra plates they used in muddy or soft ground terrain

Soon time for foot No:2
