Looks really good

 

[Bagge]

Thanks Andy
Had a nice build evening with the modelclub tonight so i got something done!
I had an extra set with the plastic tracks so i use link by link for the upper part, will look better than the straight piece i think :hmmm

[moon puppy]

Does look good but I still don't know how y'all paint those tracks in place.

 

[Bagge]

Thanks Bob
I usually leave 2 links unglued so i can take them off and the rear wheel is also not glued yet, then i glue it together when it's painted :coolio

Looking good Matts. I dont see what the problem was with the paint, but it looks good to me. I havent made it to the bench yet to see how many tools I can give you, but I'll look, just remind me in a day or two.

[Bagge]

Thanks James the problem with the paint was mostly that it builds up on the tip of the AB and then it spits but you didn't see much after the paint dried.

[Sherman 18]

AH you are making wish I had held on to that kit! Looking good keep it up.

 

[Bagge]

Thanks Sherman and Mike :drinks
Done with the tracks (almost, must paint one side still, waiting for the glue to dry).
Here is a view of the workspace before i started gluing the second run :coolio

Here some shots of the first run in different stages of paint.

Shot with Tamiya XF-84 Dark Iron

Test fitted, must give the rear wheel some paint..... :facepalm

Beginning of fenders for the cargo area, due to that this is narrower than the original so is it not possible to open the sides more than 90*
