After much consideration I have finally committed to this bad boy for the group build!  Might get the chance to make a start later all being well! |

Now that is cool Certainly is Paul! I love all of the MAZ chassis, 1/35 is just too big to catch them all!!! But 1/72 is manageable |

Right so I made a start yesterday but didn't get chance to update, and was nowhere near as much as I wanted to do! The kit has you start with the donk!!! and its a biggie! even in this scale!! It does also look like the one fitted to the T-72/90 series.  So that was stage one! I have built another of MC kits in this series before so am very aware of what is on the cards!! location points are next to non existent and alignment needs a lot of care. I managed another hour this afternoon, and completed stage two, this calls out for the transmissions etc.  So now I am here!  And here is where I'm heading .............  As you can see its a jungle, my eyes are a tad tired and I'm in need of some red wine!!!! so parking here!!! All comments welcome |

This should be good. With luck this’ll be one of Modelcollect’s better kits too!

Looks very well detailed Vlad . Certainly looks a tad more complicated than my T72 does , have fun in that jungle tomorrow Its all in the chassis, once I am through that its all big block work and over in a flash! But the detail is all , the engine will not even be seen when the cab goes on! |

Continuing from last nights efforts I spent a little time making sense of the jungle! And all of this will be hidden once the upper superstructure goes on!!   Apologies for the fluffy images, the light is not so good in the man cave. |
